All Australians are racist | Festival of...

SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE
About this episode

Over the next few weeks we will be rebroadcasting episodes from the Ideas at the House archives. In the wake of Australia Day, we’ve found ourselves thrust into yet another conversation about whether Australians are racist, so it's a good time to revisit this event from the 2012 Festival of Dangerous Ideas.

Listen to actor Alec Doomadgee, journalists Joe Hildebrand and Randa Abdel Fattah as they jump right into this ever heated debate about whether All Australians are racist. The session is chaired by Marilyn Lake.


Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
