On this episode of The Grapevine, Kulja and Dylan get on the line with Walkley award winning journalist and author Jeff Sparrow to break down the geopolitical maneuvering between China and Australia in the Pacific region ahead of the federal election.
Then, CEO of Inclusive Australia Andrea Pearmen calls in to talk about their latest report that asks the question, "how inclusive is Australia?".
And will Elon Musk's takeover of Twitter really be the boon to free speech that his supporters contend? Executive Director of Digital Rights Watch James Clark joins the crew in the studio to talk about the implications of a billionaire owning "the digital town square".
