The Culture: The best TV shows of 2021

On Monday, parliament will return early to debate new laws to deal with hate speech and gun ownership.

The legislation has been drafted in a hurry – under mounting pressure in the aftermath of the Bondi terror attack.

But support for the bill has already fractured. The Coalition says it goes too far. The Greens say it doesn’t go far enough. Both want more time to consider the changes.

The debate over what is and isn’t hate is unfolding at a time of deep political division with consequences not just for parliament, but for Australia’s cultural institutions.

Today, CEO of Cheek Media and host of the Big Small Talk podcast, Hannah Ferguson, on the politics of hate speech and how a fight over free expression spilled into the arts.

Directly after Donald Trump intervened in Venezuela, capturing president Nicolas Maduro and laying claim to the country’s oil industry, the US President set his sights on Greenland.

Trump claims America “needs” Greenland for national security, and has asked his military chiefs to draw up plans to invade if neccessary. 

Meanwhile, a meeting between US Vice-President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Danish Foreign Minister Lars Rasmussen and Greenlandic Foreign Minister Vivian Motzfeldt ended in a stalemate – with Trump doubling down, and Denmark asking for European back-up.

Today, defence editor at The Economist Shashank Joshi, on the real reason Trump wants Greenland, and how his plan could change the world.

Why Trump “needs” Greenland

Is the world about to see the United States intervene in another country – this time, Iran?

Since late December, Iran has been rocked by mass protests, and the government has responded with force.

The internet has been cut for days at a time, making it difficult to verify what’s happening on the ground. Reports suggest a death toll in the thousands, with even larger numbers of protesters detained.

Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has been publicly encouraging protesters and declaring that “help is on the way”.

Today, Iranian-born analyst and executive vice president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, Trita Parsi, on a regime fighting for survival – and on what Trump’s threats could mean for the entire Middle East.
