What language is acceptable in politics, and how has it changed?

from Saturday Extra - Separate stories podcast · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation

As the Liberal Party continues to manage the fallout from Jacinta Nampijinpa Price's comments about Indian migration, we explore how the boundaries of politically permissible language have shifted over time; from the White Australia policy, through Whitlam-era multiculturalism, to Pauline Hanson's anti-immigration rhetoric and John Howard's dog whistles.
