On The People vs, Australia’s most pressing moral questions are decided… by YOU
Each week, a panel of “citizen jurors” joins the show’s ringmaster, Josh Szeps, to tackle one conundrum.
Advising us is a brains trust of insightful experts, plus the rest of the universe on Facebook, Twitter, SMS, email, voicemail and carrier pigeon*.
The People vs is your escape from stale arguments. It’s where informed citizens debate, doubt and decide.
Should we tax sugar? Should we end the war on drugs?
Is privacy dead? Is Islam illiberal? Has #MeToo gone too far?
Does Australia need more people? Is the ‘gig’ economy unfair?
Seize the mantle of your citizenship. Ditch the drudgery of Left and Right. Step up, citizen. It’s time to decide.
Make the call.
