    Antoinette Lattouf on her legal battle with the ABC and Women Who Win

    In late 2023, Antoinette Lattouf had a five day contract to host the mornings program on ABC radio Sydney. It’d normally be a light and breezy week of broadcasting in the pre-Christmas wind down. Instead, it became the central flashpoint in a legal saga – when she was taken off air by management two days early, after reposting a Human Rights Watch report about Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon of war in Gaza. In response, Lattouf sued the ABC for unlawful termination – and won. It was a huge result for the journalist personally, but also one of broader significance, throwing up questions around the power of the pro-Israel lobby, the integrity of ABC management’s decision making processes, and freedom of speech. Antoinette’s new book is called Women Who Win, and it places her struggle in a larger context - of women throughout history who have taken on authority. It’s part memoir, part roadmap for change, asking what it takes to succeed when the odds and systems are stacked against you. “[Establishment media are] so concerned about advertisers or lobby groups – like the ABC running scared of the next attack by the Murdoch Press or the chain of complaints from pro-Israel lobbyists or gas lobbyists … Are they really giving a voice to the voiceless, or are they just making power comfortable? And when journalism in this country walks alongside or in step with powerful institutions and people, then our democracy is in a bit of trouble."

    Francesca Albanese on the Stories, Words, and Wounds of Palestine

    Francesca Albanese is a human rights expert, legal scholar, and one of the world's most significant voices on Palestinian struggle. As the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories, she has spent years documenting what she and others, including the International Court of Justice, Human Rights Watch, and Amnesty International have described as genocide. This has made her a target for the pro-Israel lobby. She’s been sanctioned by the US government, threatened with arrest in Germany, and has faced repeated death threats for her unwavering commitment to calling out Israel's attrociies. Her new book is called While the World Sleeps: Stories, Words and Wounds of Palestine – its part memoir, told through the stories of ten people she’s met in her life and career as legal expert on Palestine, and a rallying cry for the world to stop the horrors that the international human rights system is supposed to prevent. In this conversation, she reflects on her life and career spent face to face with human suffering, the moral imperative to mobilise against genocide, and where she finds hope. "Documenting human rights violations in a time of genocide are excrutiating for the mind, for the body....I've been swalling death and horrible things that humans have done to other humans for over three years now. "The genocide has changed my life forever. I don't think there is a way to repair it other than being good, to being caring towards myself, towards my loved ones...I have two young children. Preserving my sanity is something that goes hand in hand with being their mum. "I know that if all good people on Earth did what they could, and what they know they can do, the world will heal sooner than we think."

    The manosphere meets the schoolyard: Dr Stephanie Wescott on teachers' experiences of misogyny

    Louis Theroux's new Netflix documentary Inside the Manosphere has refocused public attention on how toxic masculinity is incubated online. But what whappens when these often violent, sexist attitudes towards women and girls enter the schoolyard? Dr Stephanie Wescott is a lecturer at Monash University who researches how manosphere figures like Andrew Tate influence gender attitudes in schools. Her new co-authored study reports on teachers' experiences of being harassed and targeted with intimidatory behaviour while at work - a pattern they say is getting worse. It paints a worrying picture of the education system's failure to properly address the problem. Dr Wescott spoke about the study's findings and what can be done both to protect teachers and educate boys about respectful relationships. "The level of violence, the visceral misogyny, and also the impunity or the brazenness with which young people can feel…entitled to do this to teachers…is pretty shocking."

    Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales on trust and lessons for a better world

    Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia written collaboratively by volunteers across the world, has grown to become one of the most visited sites on the internet. Dylan Bird is joined by Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales to reflect on the origins of the website, how a radical idea of crowd-sourcing knowledge worked, toxicity on the internet, and what lessons we can draw from Wikipedia in countering division and building trust, as explored in his newest book The Seven Rules of Trust. Jimmy will be in Melbourne for an in-conversation event through RMIT and The Wheeler Centre at The Capitol Theatre on May 20. “At Wikipedia, the community has the tools to control the space … people respond well to that, and it sets a tone that we’re not supposed to be bashing each other; we’re supposed to be working together in a collegial way.” Photo credit: Bloomsbury Publishing.
