Screw Nice: Amy Remeikis on Anger, Power and the Politics of Civility

When does civility stop being a virtue become a weapon?

Recorded live at Gleebooks in Sydney, political journalist and author Amy Remeikis joins Fourth Estate host Tina Quinn to discuss her bestselling new book, Screw Nice, and how demands for politeness and "balance" can silence dissent, sanitise injustice and protect those in power.
