Cancer on Democracy (2018) | John Hewson, Rebecca Huntley & Dee Madigan

Australian politics is in a maelstrom, fake news has taken root
and increasingly, democracy is looking decidedly unwell. Does
this have anything to do with our highly concentrated media
ownership and vigorous partisan players? What are the costs of a
polarised, opinion-driven media and the 24-hour news cycle? Dee
Madigan, John Hewson and Rebecca Huntley discuss at the 2018
Festival of Dangerous Ideas on Cockatoo Island. The panel is
chaired by Darren Goodsir.
