Shortcut: Has Australia Become a Conspiracy Nation?

This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.

 

Conspiracy theories are reshaping Australian society, with some having devastating real-world consequences.

 

Drawing on years of investigative reporting, Ariel Bogle and Cam Wilson explore how online extremism takes hold, the uniquely Australian anxieties that fuel it, and how it's weaponised by powerful figures.
