The Australian Identity: Who Are We? |
|
| | |
|
| This week, Q+A investigates the hard truths about what it is to be Australian.
The murder of Hannah Clarke and her children is prompting serious questions about the scourge of domestic violence in our nation’s culture. And twenty years after the first Long Walk, racism and public bullying are once again under the spotlight.
On the flip side, this summer’s bushfires saw Australians come together and effectively deal with a crisis.
On Monday, Q+A asks "who are we"? How do we settle unfinished business? How can men step up and stop the violent war on women? Why do we struggle with our identity and how can we bring our better selves to the fore?
Joining host Hamish Macdonald this Monday, live from Melbourne:
Nova Peris, Olympian and former politician
Tarang Chawla, Writer and anti-violence campaigner
Marlee Silva, Founder, Indigenous female empowerment network @tiddas4tiddas
Gus Worland, Men’s mental health advocate, former Triple M Breakfast host
