In this episode we chat with Alex McKinnon (https://everythingisfine.beehiiv.com/c/about), a freelance journalist who has been covering the restriction and censorship of pro-Palestine speech in the Australian media. We talk through some of the particulars of rightwing strategy; the culture of preemptive capitulation and the march of McCarthyism through the university sector.
