Back in Australia after the pandemic lockout, the human rights lawyer and host of Hypotheticals is taking his unique brand of critical thinking on the road.
Geoffrey Robertson on the set of Hypotheticals in 2000.
“It still haunts him [Islam], but it was all too true,” Robertson says. “The hypotheticals always had the quality of honesty. I was able to get to the truth by confronting people.”Robertson’s investment in the Australian election is surprising for a man who hasn’t lived here on a permanent basis for 50 years.
This is a shared sentiment among the Australians abroad, he says: “We are expatriates, not ex-patriots.” Robertson believes the exclusion of expats turned their families against the Coalition and contributed to the election defeat.‘A plank in the storm’ “It means he can stand against Bolsonaro, it means he will beat Bolsonaro and save the Amazon, and that’s the most important thing he can do for climate change, beat this guy who is guilty of ecocide. We’ll find out in October, but I hope to be celebrating on the beaches of Brazil.”I suggest Russian President Vladimir Putin may just pip him at the post; Ukrainian troops have just surrendered to Russia in besieged Mariupol.
