#17 Cronulla to Christchurch (with Amelia Johns)

With the Christchurch sentencing this week we reflect on a trial that focuses on the victims and the impact on the Muslim community of New Zealand. But we also need to talk to about the far right in Australia, which the terrorist had links to, and how they grew networks on Facebook in the years since the Cronulla riots.

We also chat about the militia response to the Kenosha shooting and how Facebook isn’t following their own policies on inciting violence.

Amelia Johns is Senior Lecturer at the University of Technology Sydney.
