Bruce Shapiro's USA, Nepal in the aftermath of revolution, and Ackland on defamation
Manage episode 508037647 series 2902429
The fallout of the Charlie Kirk assassination continues, with dozens of academics fired for their comments and Jimmy Kimmel returning to the air. Kirk was memorialised in a huge public event, in which Trump declared "hate" for his political opponents. In Nepal, the country is rebuilding its politics after a flash "Gen Z revolution" toppled the government and caused its aged leader to flee. Will Nepal be ready for elections by March? Here at home, the cost of suing for defamation can be prohibitive — and a new Australian tort of privacy came into effect in June.
