Age of Outrage II HD

AGE OF OUTRAGE II HD Lord, what fools these mortals be!

Let’s have a conversation about today’s society —from mis- and disinformation, to identity crisis, from freedom of speech to cancel culture, and from political sloganeering to the power of the hashtag.

• Where do we draw the line between freedom of speech and hate speech? And who decides, anyway?
• Is cancel culture good for society? Is it a tool to seek accountability and justice or to bully and silence different opinions ?
• In a world of extremes, where we are so hostile and quick to take offence, where do we find the middle ground?

Speakers:

• Andrea Vance, Journalist, Author
• Rt Hon Chris Finlayson, Barrister, Former Attorney-General and Minister for Treaty of Waitangi Negotiations
• David Shanks, former Chief Censor
• Dr Bryce Edwards, Political Analyst and Lecturer, Director of Democracy Project, Victoria University of Wellington, Te Herenga Waka
• Warkina Tujuba, Head of Youth and Engagement, African Community Council Wellington
