On this week's episode of Socially Democratic, Stephen was joined by Harriet Shing in what is now officially a yearly tradition - the State Politics Year in Review.Starting off with an update on Harriet’s miniature donkeys, Harriet dissects the year that was 2021. First touching on COVID 2.0 - Delta Outbreak and the Two Major Lockdowns that followed - then Victoria Parliament’s historic passing of legislation banning Gay Conversion Therapy, and Dan Andrews fall which tested the depth of the ministry and the insanity of the opposition. Rounding out the year Harriet also unpacks the Liberal Party’s public lurch towards right wing fringe and conspiracy politics, the ongoing anti-lockdown/vaccine protests, and the passing of the Pandemic Response Bill. As the last episode of 2021, Stephen and the team at Socially Democratic would like to wish our guests and listeners a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Socially Democratic will be back in 2022 for season four(!) in January.  The presenting sponsor of the Socially Democratic podcast is Dunn Street.
