Webinar: 8pm AEDT, Thursday 27 February 2025

Join Scott Ludlam, Peter Whish-Wilson and Alex Kelly for this special briefing on the global network of extreme right think tanks and astroturf groups behind the anti-renewables, anti-Voice, transphobic, racist campaigns popping up in Australia as we head towards the federal election.

Who is behind this? Where does it come from? How do we address it, defending the people it hurts while not getting sucked into its narrative?

Former Senator Scott Ludlam has conducted deep research into the Atlas Network which he will brief us on. Senator Pete Whish-Wilson is leading the party room’s response and will explain how the Greens intend to take it on. And the Economic Media Centre’s Alex Kelly will discuss how to defend people in the crossfire and most effectively outflank the extreme right’s propaganda.

This special briefing will not be recorded and should not be missed. It will be particularly useful for candidates and campaigners at the upcoming election. We ask that you do not share details of this event on social media.

This webinar is the fifth in a series we've been hosting this year as part of our series The Missing Peace: Talking About Nonviolence. We look forward to having you along!
