Calling It Out

Overview

Kicking off the new series in its new timeslot, Hamish Macdonald chairs a debate that asks how the new Biden presidency will affect Australia, if the debate surrounding Australia Day has affected race relations, and whether the vaccine brawls erupting in Europe will disrupt the Australian rollout. Joining him to discuss these questions and more are: Grace Tame, Australian of the Year; Alexander Downer, Former Liberal Foreign Affairs Minister; Warren Mundine, Chairman of the Australian Indigenous Education Foundation; Shane Fitzsimmons, Former NSW RFS Commissioner; and Tanya Hosch, Social inclusion advocate.
