Shownotes Transcript

An Olympic boxer has been caught in the middle of a transgender hate campaign on social media, all while trying to win a medal for her country. 

And from "possible" to "probable": what does the terror threat being raised actually mean for Australians and why is it being bumped up? 

Also in the UK, violent riots have broken out across the country after disinformation spread online following a mass stabbing attack that left three kids dead. 

Plus, we get the wrap on the 2024 Garma Festival, Australia's biggest gathering focused on Indigenous culture and politics. 

Guests:

Dr Andrew Zammit, terrorism researcher, Victoria University

Dr Ryan Storr, research fellow in sport innovation, Swinburne University of Technology
