Flanagan blasts Israel lobby, a terrible take on sexual assault + Jason Arday media apologises or doubles down
About this episode
The episode discusses Richard Flanagan's speech on the Israel lobby's impact on democracy, media's response to Jason Arday's death, and critiques an opinion piece on sexual assault allegations.
In this episode, we look at a searing speech given by acclaimed author Richard Flanagan at the Festival of Dangerous Ideas, in which he outlines the way the pro-Israel lobby is threatening our democracy. We also examine the media’s self-reflection (or lack thereof) following the tragic death of Cambridge Professor Jason Arday. Jan gives zero stars to an opinion piece on the allegations of sexual assault of a 14-year-old girl levelled at three students from the prestigious boys' school, Scots College. Plus – a glimpse into the opaque operations of far-right group Advance delivers some surprises. Watch Richard Flanagan’s full address to the Festival of Dangerous Ideas here.
