Flanagan blasts Israel lobby, a terrible take on sexual assault + Jason Arday media apologises or doubles down25 Aug59 min

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.
