Part 12/12:
Throughout the discussion, the importance of national pride and cultural identity remained a recurring theme. From the controversy over Australian flags to criticism of woke education policies, the panelists emphasized a cultural shift away from embracing national symbols. They argued this trend diminishes patriotism and fosters a climate where expressing pride becomes problematic.
The program concluded with a critical view of how political and media narratives often serve strategic interests—be it China’s soft power tactics, domestic political travel expenses, or the suppression of national symbols. The overarching message was a call for greater transparency, cultural pride, and principled diplomacy, urging viewers to question the narratives presented by authorities and media alike.
