Political Turmoil Post-Assassination: Unpacking the Backlash

In their regular Monday episode Os and Scott discuss the assassination of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk and examine how this moment is being used by Donald Trump and his allies to further push their agenda, and deplatform their enemies. They also cover the Australian reaction, and how far-right activists are working with the media to attack and silence prominent progressive figures because of their reactions to Kirk's murder.

Also in today's episode, they look at how the media covered Friday's release of the report into combating Islamophobia, how it different to the reaction to the report into combating antisemitism and why the government seemed so intent on burying it.
