The party line on how Bondi is being weaponised against Palestine by Anneke Demanuele, Omar Sherrife & Jordan van den Lamb

'Episode 15 - The party line on how Bondi is being weaponised against Palestine ft Amy Remeikis As the dust settles on the horrific Bondi shooting, the nature of the bigoted onslaught has become clearer. This episode starts by looking at the tirade of lies and far-right propaganda spread by The Australian and other media outlets. Given Jillian Segal’s prominence, we do a little digging into her family’s history as managers of hyper-exploitative diamond mining companies in Apartheid South Africa as well as her links with racist lobby group, Advance Australia. To get a deeper look at the media landscape of the backlash we interview journalist Amy Remeikis on the media response to Bondi and how they have normalised racism and anti-Palestinian politics. We then take a look at the appalling attacks on rights going on in the UK, where the government has banned Palestine Action and has sought to criminalise support for the Palestinian people and their resistance to genocide, a direction that Australian state and federal governments appear to be moving in. NSW Premier Chris Minns gets a particular shout-out, as a key protagonist in the moves to censor pro-Palestine speech and increase authoritarianism and anti-protest laws in Australia. Finally, we explore the tensions in the ALP around this issue and why Albanese has invited the Israeli President, Isaac “no innocent civilians in Gaza” Herzog, to visit Australia.'
