As far-right movements continue to make headway into the political mainstream, how can we safeguard a shared commitment to respect, inclusion and diversity?
Far-right movements are gaining momentum across the globe – shaping political discourse, influencing public attitudes and impacting communities.
Join an esteemed panel of experts who will explore the drivers behind this rise in Australia, including how these movements are evolving, how their narratives are fostering increased hostility towards marginalised groups and what it takes to build effective coalitions and alliances to counter their rise.
Hear from trade unionist and writer Oscar Kaspi-Crutchett, community organiser Tarneen Onus-Williams, migration specialist Sanmati Verma and journalist Cam Wilson (Conspiracy Nation) as they share their insights into the forces fuelling far-right extremism and reflect on our cultural, political and legal recourses to address its impact on those most at risk. With CEO of Human Rights Law Centre Caitlin Reiger.
Presented in partnership with Human Rights Law Centre
