In recent weeks, we’ve covered an appearance by neo-Nazis at a rally in Melbourne, as well as ASIO’s decision to steer away from labels like ‘right’ and ‘left’ when talking about radicalisation in Australia.
The issue of far-right extremism has often been covered in Australia as a political issue, but what about as an issue of safety and security?
Today, we revisit our conversation with the author of ‘Rise of the Extreme Right’, Lydia Khalil, on the far-right in Australia, its connections around the world and the best way to stop it from growing.
This episode first aired on 12 January this year.
