Episode Details

Labor’s national conference unveiled a bold new anti-racism strategy, pairing education initiatives with a fierce pushback against hate speech and divisive rhetoric, especially online. With racist incidents on the rise and right-wing parties like One Nation gaining traction by stoking anti-immigration sentiment, Labor frames this as a defense of multicultural Australia’s social fabric. Delegates shared harrowing personal stories of Islamophobia’s real-world toll—from schools to places of worship—while condemning the opposition for a “lurch to the right.” Meanwhile, the Attorney-General is backing stronger social cohesion measures, eagerly awaiting a royal commission’s recommendations on anti-Semitism and unity, set up after a devastating terror attack. This is more than policy—it’s a national call to heal and hold together.
