INTERVIEW: Is an 'alienation crisis' hurting Australia's social fabric?
Social cohesion impacts how connected and inclusive our society is. But is it in trouble in Australia? It's a question a lot of people are asking, especially after events this week: a sovereign citizen allegedly killing 2 police officers, ASIO declaring a foreign government is behind antisemitic attacks in Melbourne and Sydney, and plans for protests that the government says are targeting immigrants. In this extended interview, we chat to a researcher who's trying to work out what's fuelling it all. Guest: Dr Ben Rich, senior lecturer in international relations, Curtin University Get the whole story from Hack: Follow us on Instagram Subscribe to the hack podcast Listen on the triple j app or on your radio live every weeknight at 5:30pm
