The further escalation of US Authoritarianism, the selective silence of our leaders, and the need to be alert and active

Friday, 21 March 2025 - 10:00am to 10:30am

Jennifer and Jacques continue their reflections on the latest events in the US, clearly demonstrating a new Authoritarianism that shouldn't be ignored.

They talk about the implications for Australia as well as people in the US, the selective silence of our leaders, and how the new wave of Trumpist Authoritarianism is reported across our media. Lastly they make a call to be both alert and active.
