Policy Forum Pod

An apparent terrorist attack in the heart of Melbourne has ignited a familiar debate over whether Australia has got its counter-terrorism policy settings right – and what proposed legislative changes might mean for civil liberties. On this week’s podcast, hosts Nicky Lovegrove and Sharon Bessell hear from a national security expert, a legal scholar and an ethicist about encrypted communication, detention without charge, democratic accountability, and whether terrorism receives a disproportionate amount of concern from policymakers. Listen here: Jacinta Carroll is the Director of National Security Policy at the ANU National Security College. Previously, Jacinta was the inaugural Head of the Counter-Terrorism Policy Centre at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute. Dominique Dalla-Pozza is a Senior Lecturer at the ANU College of Law and was the co-convenor of the ACT chapter of the Electoral Regulation Research Network. Her research deals with Australian Public Law and Australian National Security Law. Chris
