The Decline of Democracy and the Far Right

Why are far-right and authoritarian movements gaining ground across so many Western societies? Why are ideas once considered beyond the pale now attracting growing electoral support? And what does this mean for Australia’s future?

Associate Professor Mario Peucker, a leading expert on the far right, and journalist Lenore Taylor, former Editor of Guardian Australia, with moderators Dr Eshan Arya and Professor Joseph Camilleri, will explore some of the most pressing political questions of our time, followed by audience Q&A and small-group discussion.
