In this episode, I dive into the creeping surveillance state emerging in Australia and explore how fear and crisis drive governments to implement draconian measures that chip away at civil liberties. We examine the pivotal 2014 Sydney Siege, which catalyzed sweeping changes in Australia’s security laws, and discuss how psychological biases like the availability heuristic and groupthink shape public opinion. From metadata retention laws to the influence of fear-driven policymaking, we unpack why societies are quick to trade freedom for a false sense of security—and what we can do to resist this trend. Join us as we explore how thoughtful debate and critical engagement are more important than ever in preserving democracy in the face of crisis.
