Small square Fabian logo    The NZ Fabian Society is an independent membership based policy forum providing open, pluralist space for education and debate on progressive policies. We aim to apply progressive values to contemporary issues.  

Max Harris and Max Rashbrooke will discuss how we turn around the right wing slogans like nanny statewoke identity politics, and the inefficiency of the public sector – and how we build a progressive agenda.

From Donald Trump to David Seymour, from Peter Dutton to Christopher Luxon, we are subject to a flood of measures designed to give more power to corporate interests. The measures are accompanied by a deluge of slogans and attacks on so-called woke culture and on big government.  Trump has even blamed a plane crash on diversity programmes.  

Actual evidence is disregarded; in fact science, medicine and academia are targets.

Max Rashbrooke uses the push for privatisation as a case study; Max Harris looks at the push-back against the Treaty.  

They go further and discuss ways  we can more effectively formulate progressive ideas and build a progressive movement.
