This is the speech Chris Hedges was booked to deliver at Australia's National Press Club, live to the nation on ABC, the country's national broadcaster.
Despite written confirmation the club cancelled the talk, reportedly citing an interest in “balancing out our program”, after learning more about what he was going to say.
The speech was instead delivered to a full house at the Teachers Federation auditorium in Sydney on October 20, 2025.
The event was chaired by Sara Saleh, a Palestinian writer & race critical human rights lawyer. It was sponsored by the journalists' union MEAA, PEN Sydney and the magazine Pearls and Irritations. It was organised by Stop the War on Palestine and Palestine Justice Movement.

Great to see Live the Life You Please released. Really looking forward to seeing it tomorrow at the Elizabeth Picture Theatre in Brisbane.

Morrison said he saw children in detention on Manus because “I saw them with my own eyes. I went to Manus Island, where Labor put Children in offshore detention centres on Manus Island”. Except it’s another lie…there were no children on Manus.

I assume a good journo will ask Mr Morrison what level of government debt the Coalition inherited from Labor in September 2013 and what did the recent budget papers project it to be at the end of this financial year?

Memo to Patricia Karvelas, Greg Jennett, Fran Kelly, Andrew Probyn and David Speers:
The ABC is meant to be so much more than a less colourful repetition of Murdoch's daily top stories
We expect far beyond what we've been given by @abcnews election reporting so far

I hope one of our intrepid journalists asks Scott Morrison today the rate of JobSeeker for a single mother with two children? And that he hangs his head in shame when he is told (because we know he won’t know) that his government is basically starving such vulnerable people.

Compared to the last Labor government, “this (Coalition) government has taxed more, spent more and borrowed more” - @SenatorWong on @RNBreakfast #auspol

Astounding ! The taxpayer will be screwed for $500,000 - plus legal costs - to pay for that sleazebucket Tudge. (Who might or might not be a cabinet minister.) This is barefaced corruption that should haunt Morrison through the election campaign.
Exclusive: the Morrison Government is set to pay Liberal frontbencher Alan Tudge’s ex lover more than $500,000 in a secret payout. @newscomauHQ news.com.au/finance/work/at-…

“We build things. We build big things” says Morrison. Let me correct that Scotty. You make announcements to build things.

What we need is a plan to improve peoples lives, not a plan to get the Morrison Government another term in office.
