Episode Details

Indigenous Australians grapple with a surge in online racism, following the failed voice to parliament referendum. High-profile figures receive daily abuse, including death threats and sexual assault threats. The abuse has escalated, with references to lynchings and Ku Klux Klan symbols. Groups track these incidents, but distinguishing idle hate from real threats is challenging. First Nations leaders live in fear, affecting their work and mental health. Recent events, including a foiled terror plot and a neo-Nazi attack, have heightened tensions. A parliamentary inquiry into hate and violence against First Nations people was announced, with submissions closing on May first and findings due in September.
