Democracy Sausage: Labor’s AUKUS moonshot with Bob Carr
Former foreign minister Bob Carr joins us to talk about AUKUS, Julian Assange and the Australian government’s language around the Israeli-Palestinian conflict ahead of Labor’s national conference.
Is Australia acting against its national interests through the AUKUS deal and other defence agreements being struck with the United States?
Should the Albanese government be more vigorous in its support for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange?
And what is the prospect of a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict?
