Miriam Margolyes: Australia Unmasked

Miriam Margolyes is back on the road, heading west along the bottom of Australia, to understand what the Fair Go means in Australia today and how it is playing out in the diverse lives of her fellow citizens.

One of the things Miriam Margolyes has always loved about being Australian is being part of a nation that isn't ruled by class. But she increasingly suspects that's not the whole story. Ever alert to the contradictions, Miriam wants to understand what class looks like in Australia - and how much it shapes our expectations and opportunities. To answer this question, Miriam travels through the state of Victoria and across the class divide - attending polo matches and bogan burnouts.

In South Australia, Miriam explores what the most vulnerable people in society think about 'the fair go', a core value that promotes opportunity for all, regardless of background.
