A state of Palestine and the price of fearless journalism

A state of Palestine and the price of fearless journalism

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s announcement that Australia will recognise the state of Palestine at the UN in September marks a historic foreign policy shift, yet conditions are placed solely on Palestine while Israel faces none. This episode examines the unfinished business of UN Resolution 181, Australia’s role under ‘Doc’ Evatt in 1947, and the urgent need for real action – sanctions, reparations, and accountability for Israel’s war crimes – while exposing double standards in the media over the killing of 240 journalists in Gaza. We also analyse the political absurdity of the Liberal Party’s reaction to the Reserve Bank’s rate cut, the deeper problem of reflex opposition, and the government’s secrecy over its climate risk assessment, which reveals billions in climate damage and counterproductive policies that threaten Australia’s future.
