Abstract
This article examines Australian domestic and international mainstream media coverage of subaltern resistance to police brutality. In particular, it analyses representations of subaltern resistance in Australian mainstream media with reference to riots in Palm Island, Queensland, Australia (November 2004) and in Ferguson, Missouri, United States (November 2014) and tests the appositeness of the theoretical concept of ‘moral panic’ to Australian media coverage of these respective events. In so doing, it exposes contradictions and anomalies in the Australian media's coverage of Indigenous resistance and offers some hypotheses for any apparent discrepancies.
