Gay Alrn has been a journalist for over 25 years. She's been a Washgton rrponnt, eded The Sunday Age, won three Walkley Awards and is now the Melbourne edor for Guardian Atralia. I wanted to talk wh Gay about a whole many thgs (we began by talkg about this week's 4Corners report on the refugee children of N and the rol and bias of journalism), but the bulk of our chat beme focsed on the notn of "polil rrectns": the nature of our public disurse, sectn 18C of the Racial Discrimatn Act, inty polics and cultural appropriatn. Gay scrib herself as a progrsive person but is a stnch advote of the eedom of speech and has ncerns about the way we go about talkg wh each other. Is now longer possible for to "reasonably disagree"? is the basic startg pot for our chat, I'd remend readg that first before listeng here. We also got on to ; this will also be the foc of next week's episo wh Yassm Abl-Magied. Cse of the Week: Guardian Atralia (), Oxfam Atralia ()
