With a full house (Jess, Rachel, Charlie, and Najma!), Spin Cycle greets two guests to discuss the latest in the Australian news media. Jewish Council of Australia Executive Officer, Sarah Schwartz, describes the recent conflation of anti-zionism with anti-semitism, and whether it is an attempt to control legitimate pro-Palestinian protest. And Nour Haydar, host of The Guardian's Full Story podcast, delves further into the coverage of Fatima Payman’s resignation from the Labour Party, and what it tells us about racism in Australia.
