Political commentator, journalist and author George Megalogenis will be interviewing six former prime ministers in the ABC three-part series, Making Australia Great: Inside Our Longest Boom.

In his first foray into documentary making, Megalogenis will talk to every Australian prime minister from 2013 back to the ’70s and a host of key insiders to discuss Australia’s economic abundance.

He goes back 40 years to explore the deeper reasons behind how Australia was the only developed nation to dodge the 2008 economic crisis.

The three-part series was inspired by Megalogenis’ 2012 book The Australian Moment, which chronicled the great reforms of the last 40 years that have made Australia.

The series will premiere on March 17.
