The People's Project Season 6 Episode 8: Selective Human Rights and Why Sport is Better Than War
1hr 22min
In this week’s episode of The People’s Project:
RAIN RAIN GO AWAY
With more floods in NSW the panel wonders why we keep protesting against natural disaster mitigation measures in favour of climate change action
SAVERS ARE LOSERS
Interest rates are up for mortgage holders but not for self-funded retirees or those with savings
EMERGENCY FOREVER
Media and government are testing the waters for masks mandates to return. But will Australians cop it again? And why are so many triple boosted healthcare workers refusing a fourth dose?
SELECTIVE HUMAN RIGHTS
Who interfered with Victoria Police’s decision to drop charges against BLM protest organisers? Do they speak for themselves or for the government? Whether Assange or Aussie freedom protestors, we seem to apply human rights selectively.
SPORT IS BETTER THAN WAR
The psychological need in humans for war, conflict and comradery…is sport a viable alternative?
NEWS WITHOUT NOTICE
