Miriam Margolyes is on a mission to explore the unique Australian ethos of the 'fair go' – something she swore to uphold when she became a citizen nearly ten years ago. Embraced as a defining feature of Australian life, this core value promotes equal opportunity for all - no matter your background, class, race or creed. Miriam Margolyes begins her Australian adventure in the former penal settlement of Lutruwita, Tasmania, questioning how a 'fair go' could have begun in a place like this. As she bumbles her way from north to south, Miriam is confronted with the complexities of Tasmania’s rich history. From the dichotomy between colonial Australia and indigenous peoples to the state’s conservative past with LGBTQIA+ rights, Miriam navigates truths while meeting those still fighting for a fair go. Along the way, she encounters indigenous activist Michael Mansell, tucks into some road kill with independent politician Jacqui Lambie, and comes face to face with the state’s shocking illiteracy issues. As she begins to reveal her own personal battles along this journey, Miriam discovers that the fair go is an ideal worth fighting for.

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.
E03
As an 80-year-old woman, Miriam has never felt more vulnerable. And her own situation has left her concerned about the fair go for the most vulnerable in society today. On this last leg of her journey, Miriam travels through the state of South Australia. Along the way, she tackles ageism, experiences an eye-opening stay at a nudist club, and discovers vulnerable individuals and communities whose lives still hang in the balance.
