NEWS WEAKLY 193 - 24th Dec, 2025


Temporary Democracy, Permanent Consequences

This week on News Weakly, grief turns into legislation at speed, history offers an inconvenient warning, and Australia tests whether banning protest actually makes anyone safer.


QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“You don’t delete anger by banning protest. You just move it somewhere else.”
