Writers @ Stanton: Sean Kelly

Celebrate the 100th issue of the Quarterly Essay with an award-winning columnist as he considers the Albanese government.

Kelly gives a definitive account of Albanese's political style and shows what lies behind it. The Prime Minister places a high value on moderation, and often that means ducking fights with entrenched interests.

But this runs the risk of embedding an ever more unequal society, led by a government that can seem gutless. In this subtle essay, Kelly explores whether Labor is still up for the good fight.
