    Season 3 - Episode 3 - Media, Social Media and Cancel Culture

    Send us Fan Mail In episode three of Tensions Transplanted, Media, Social Media and Cancel Culture, Rob Kaldor and Isy Oderberg turn their attention to the creative spaces, news media, social media algorithms, misinformation, and the silencing effect of cancel culture. This episode features board member, creative and researcher Noe Harsel, academic Michelle Grossman AM, academic and journalist Margaret Simons, commentator and author Van Badham, Palestinian activist Hamza Howidy and Australian Human Rights Commission President Hugh de Kretser. The discussion moves from the responsibilities of journalists — including who gets to speak for a community, the difference between objectivity and false balance and the hard work of verification, to the corrosive role of social media, where outrage is rewarded and misinformation travels faster than fact. At its heart, this episode asks what kind of public sphere we are creating, who is being pushed out of it, and whether it is still possible to make room for complexity, empathy and truth in a moment defined by fear, grief and polarisation.

    Season 3 - Episode 2- What about the Rule of Law

    Send us Fan Mail In Episode Two of Tensions Transplanted, Rob Kaldor and Isy Oderberg examine the rule of law, the Royal Commission into Antisemitism and Social Cohesion, and the limits of law in confronting hate. Featuring Julian Leeser MP, former judge Ron Sackville AO KC, Australian Human Rights Commission President Hugh de Kretser, and Project Shema co-founder Zachary Schaffer, the episode explores hate speech, terrorism, coded language, Zionism, free speech, social cohesion and the difficult question of what governments, institutions and communities can do next. It is a conversation about the role of law, leadership and public language in a moment when Jewish Australians are asking not only what has gone wrong, but what meaningful repair could look like.

    Season 3 - Episode 1- Start at the beginning

    Send us Fan Mail After the Bondi massacre, many Australian Jews were shocked — but not necessarily surprised. In the opening episode of season three of Tensions Transplanted, Rob Kaldor and Izzy Oderberg begin with the question now facing Australian Jewish life: where to from here? Not by replaying the horror of December 14, but by asking what it exposed about safety, extremism, anti-Semitism, political rhetoric, social cohesion and who gets heard when fear takes over. Featuring terrorism expert Michelle Grossman AM, Julian Leeser MP, Project Shema founder Zachary Schaffer, social commentator and writer Van Badham and Palestinian writer and activist Hamza Howidy, this episode is a powerful primer for the season ahead: sharp, uncomfortable, deeply human and determined to move beyond slogans.
