About this listen

This week on Speaking of Social Justice, Dr Julie Macken dives deep into three major news stories; one dominating headlines, the others barely noticed. While the world devours every detail of the Victorian “death cap mushroom murder,” two seismic reports about Australia’s treatment of First Nations people, historic genocide in Victoria and systemic racism in the NT police, barely register. Why?Julie unpacks how the media shapes what we care about, but also how our clicks reinforce the stories we see. Is it discomfort, denial, or something deeper? It’s a sharp, sobering reflection on what stories we prioritise and what that says about us as a nation.
