Erin Molan is one of Australia’s most recognisable broadcasters – but after 7 October 2023, her life changed. In this powerful conversation, she speaks openly about the day she decided silence was no longer an option, the threats she faced, and why she now sees the global rise in antisemitism as an existential test for the entire West.
We talk about her journey from sports journalism to political commentary, the moment she realised Australia’s response had crossed a dangerous line, and what she discovered on the ground in Israel when she chose to witness the aftermath of the massacre for herself.
Erin also reflects on media failures, the silence of political leaders, and the deeper cultural forces shaping younger generations.
Topics you’ll hear in this conversation:
• Erin’s early career and the transition from sport to geopolitics
• The moment 7 October reshaped her worldview
• What she learnt in Israel and why it stayed with her
• Australia’s reaction – and what it revealed
• How media narratives have distorted public understanding
• Why younger audiences are vulnerable to propaganda
• What real allyship means to her, and why she believes the fight concerns everyone
