This week on Backchat, we spotlight powerful diaspora perspectives one year after the escalation of conflict in Palestine and Israel. Producer Sana Sheikh speaks with Palestinian-Australian activist Sara Shaweesh about the personal and political impact of the past 12 months. We also hear from Maggie of the anti-Zionist, anti-colonial Jewish group Tzedek Collective on solidarity and resistance within the Jewish diaspora.
Later, producer Euan Kielly dives into Australia’s new anti-doxxing laws. With insights from Professor Rob Cover and Dr. Nicola Henry, we explore how these changes could reshape online privacy, cybersecurity, and the fight against digital harassment.
This episode was produced by Sana Sheikh, Euan Kielly, and Bec Cushway, hosted by Holly Payne and Eva Sikes-Gerogiannis, and executive produced by Bec Cushway.
