The following was broadcast today on ABCTV1:
Can vulture capitalism be stopped?
That’s the question put up by… Antony Loewenstein… in his last book… ”˜Profits of Doom: How vulture capitalism is swallowing the world’.
He’s a writer, photographer, blogger, doco-maker and always a provocateur. He’s in conversation here with… Chip Rolley, editor of the ABC’s… The Drum.
The focus of this exchange is the implications of privatising prisons, detention centres, aid and security in this country and on a global scale.
To put this conversation in context, it took place at the… Perth Writers Festival… right after the riot on Manus Island and the death of refugee inmate Reza Barati.
