Resisting the far right surge in Australian politics

11:45am Sat 27 Mar
melbourne

The rise of the far right is no longer just an international issue. Australia is catching up to the rest of the world. Whether it be Pauline Hanson's One Nation, or the more extreme elements of the Liberal party, far-right politics in this country are now here to stay.

Fighting against the far right is the key question for the Australian left. Just hoping they will fizzle out of their own accord, or relying on the major parties, cannot be enough.

This session will discuss how only anti-capitalist politics can analyse the source of the right, and guide the fight back we need.
