In this episode, we sit down with Peter Kurti to explore the ideas behind his latest work, Fractured Loyalties: Australian Citizenship and the Crisis of Civic Virtue. We discuss the fundamental role of tolerance in a diverse democracy, the rising threat of antisemitism in Australia, and how weakening civic virtues are impacting social cohesion.

Kurti unpacks the historical roots of citizenship, the principles that hold a nation together, and why fostering mutual respect is more crucial than ever. Join us for a thought-provoking conversation on democracy, identity, and the future of Australian civic life.
