On this episode, we're joined by Red Flag editor Louise O'Shea to discuss the ongoing attacks on civil liberties in Australia. This increasing authoritarianism includes the criminalisation of journalists and whistleblowers, an expansion of police powers, denial of free speech, growing prison populations, and secret trials. A 2019 CIVICUS report found that in the Pacific region, “the most alarming deterioration in civic space is occurring in Australia” with the country downgraded from a classification of an “open” society to one which is “narrowed”.
