The Long Read series of our podcast, Making a Difference, continues with a reckoning from Australia’s past and the way it might influence our future.
Reporter Sydney Lang from RMIT looks at the legacy of governor Lachlan Macquarie from the early colonial settlement days.
Macquarie was considered a visionary who wanted to turn a penal colony into an egalitarian nation. But there is a dark side to his legacy that has an enduring, as well as painful, lesson.
Episode 35 – The Past Is The Future – is out now on our website or your favourite podcast app.
