Is Cancel Culture Just Modern Censorship?

Geraldine and Eliza discuss a new three-part series on 'cancel culture' recently published in 9 Newspapers.

James Button, the former speechwriter for Labor Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and son of Hawke Government minister John Button, has undertaken the important but challenging task of looking at this movement which began in the United States. In this series, Button explores the rise of cancel culture in Australia and how these conversations are influencing progressive politics.

Also this week, hunting for the right dress as we emerge back into public life.
