New SBS documentary series The Idea of Australia delves into the myths of Australia, exploring the cultural narratives that have shaped our understanding of this country and its people. Professor Tony Moore, who features in the documentary, provides a fresh perspective on Australia's convict legacy - reframing convicts not as passive victims, but as active agents in the fight for justice, rights, and democracy.
Professor Moore leads the international Australian Research Council digital history project Conviction Politics, which includes its traveling exhibition Unshackled: the True Convict Story.
