On this episode of The Grapevine, Kulja and Dylan get on the line with Walkley Award winning author and journalist, Jeff Sparrow, to break down the High Court’s ruling that found Australian media outlets are responsible for defamatory comments left on their social media platforms.
Then, the worst is yet to come for Australian universities following last year’s 6 percent drop in revenue across the tertiary sector, Peter Hurley from the Mitchell Institute, calls in to talk about the fall out, and what these dire straits mean for Australian universities.
And founder & facilitator of the Raise Our Voice Australia, Ashleigh Streeter-Jones, to discuss the campaign that’s providing a voice for young Australians to have their statements read out in Parliament by MPs – and how to get involved.
