On Liberty Ep.1 | Peter Kurti | Morality of Australia's response to Covid-19

On the show this week: host Salvatore Babones spoke with Peter Kurti, who directs the Culture, Prosperity & Civil Society program at the Centre for Independent Studies (CIS). Peter discussed the morality of Australia’s response to coronavirus pandemic: hoarding, profiteering, and toilet paper. Beginning the series with a discussion and Q&A session, we’ll look at the community and societal responses to the crisis. "In the rush to save ourselves [from COVID-19], we are in danger of losing sight of the needs of our neighbours, many of whom are more vulnerable and less able to fend for themselves." Peter Kurti In his CIS Ideas article, he went on to suggest that: Whilst not being complacent about the virus, and being sure to observe public health guidelines, we also need to check the fear that arises from speculation and rumour. We need to cultivate the capacity to live calmly in the face of what we do not know. It’s one of our national traits that makes Australia the envy of so many other countries. Admired for our egalitarian spirit of optimism and a reluctance to take ourselves too seriously, now is the time – like no other – for us to hold fast to our sense of mateship. 📖 Read Peter's article here: https://www.cis.org.au/commentary/art... 💬 Join in the conversation live every Thursday at 10 am AEST, on YouTube or Facebook. 👍 Like this video if you enjoyed it and want to see more, it really helps us out 🔜 Watch Episode 2 with James McBrayer here:    • On Liberty Ep.2 | Alexander Downer | Manag...   Tune in live On Liberty, every Thursday at 10am AEST. ____________________ The Centre for Independent Studies (CIS) promotes free choice and individual liberty, and defends cultural freedom and the open exchange of ideas.
