This week on Q+A … The crimes that shocked a nation - and the big conversations they’ve stoked on extremism, justice, community cohesion and social media.
Politicians are at war with US billionaire Elon Musk, whose X platform is defying an injunction to remove vision of the Sydney church stabbing. Free speech advocates - and the Assyrian bishop who was attacked - say the vision should be seen. But others demand a regulatory crackdown.
Social media helped fuel violent protests outside the church. Police swooped on individuals suspected to be part of an “extremist network” and questioned a former Islamic State supporter released from a supervision order last year. Faith leaders have united in calls for peace, but there’s growing concern that it may exacerbate community tensions.
There’s new focus on family violence, in the wake of the Bondi Junction killings and the alleged murder of Molly Ticehurst by a former partner. The NSW government is now exploring law reform, as federal ministers admit more must be done to address a national “crisis”.
Should preventing violence come at the expense of civil liberties? Is community division growing? Can the tech giants ever be tamed? Is there a Coalition split on nuclear? And can we trust Chinese swimmers aren’t doping in Paris?
I can’t wait to hear your questions – and get you answers.
