This time we’ve actually been creative and made our own meme for the episode, rather than stealing someone else’s. In the notes below we’ve provided links to share this meme around on Facebook and Twitter.

Listen to this episode and subscribe to our podcast on iTunes. You can also listen to this episode on Stitcher, Cyber Ears or download it on MediaFire (31MB). 

This episode covers online activism against the new counter-terror laws in Australia, which take away our freedoms. Some of the online activism discussed includes: Educate the Senate, stopthespies.org, the Greens campaign against the Foreign Fighters Bill, and Scott Ludlam’s #StopDataRetention memes campaign. You can share our #StopDataRetention memes (including the one pictured above) on Facebook and Twitter.

Also covered on the episode is we now live in South Park, updates on the inspiring #BattleForBurswood campaign, Rap News Live!, the excessive powers ASIO already had even without these new laws, Anthony Albanese criticises the first round of terror laws (although unfortunately he did this AFTER they’d already been passed!), lawyer Stephen Keim’s speech on the problematic use of the term “terrorism”, the free e-book Against Authority by John Twelve Hawks, The Mother of Mohammed by Sally Neighbour, and our meme in response to Palmer United Senator Jacqui Lambie calling for a “barqa” ban – you can share this meme around on Facebook and Twitter.

On this episode we take on the rising Islamophobia in Australia. This is partly due to the subjective nature of what is (and isn’t) labelled terrorism, with violence by Islamic people more likely to be labelled as terrorism. We also discuss the role of the media, as well as politicians like Cory Bernardi, Jacqui Lambie and Tony Abbott in adding fuel to the fire of Islamophobia. We play some of the recent Q and A episode on domestic terrorism, featuring Dr Anne-Azza Aly and Randa Abdel-Fattah. Also discussed is Will Potter’s article ‘Tasmania’s “Protection From Protesters” Bill Is As Bad As It Sounds’ – for more on “eco-terrorism” check out Will Potter’s website greenisthenewred.com and follow him on Twitter @will_potter. Other stuff covered on the episode is: comedian Eddie Perfect’s rant that perfectly sums up current political issues in Australia; upcoming protests against Islamophobia in Melbourne and Perth; conspiracy theories, missing weapons of mass destruction and lizard people.
