How post-truth politics is wrecking public discourse
Hear from Don Watson, award-winning author and former speechwriter for Paul Keating, as he decodes political language and reveals its influence on democracy and civil debate.
This Sydney Ideas conversation between Don Watson and Benedetta Brevini considers how post-truth, bullshit and management speak have taken over and fundamentally undermine the quality of public discourse and policy-making.
This event was held on Wednesday 13 February at the University of Sydney. https://sydney.edu.au/news-opinion/sydney-ideas/2019/weasel-words-don-watson.html
