POLITICAL DINOSAURS And the human condition
Season 2, Episode 37
Show notes
For decades, Australians have been denied the freedoms and self-evident truths their nation was founded upon. While a parade of political dinosaurs, claim to be their defenders. But the problem runs deeper than politics. Selfishness and egocentricity are corroding our civic life just as collectivism and co-dependency sits on the other side of the pendulum. What does genuine responsible citizenship look like and who's standing in the way?

ISLAM: The Long Game
Season 2, Episode 29
Show notes

As Australia's Muslim population grows where does the compatibility of certain Islamic legal rulings fit with Australian law and values.

VOTE CHAOS: Pauline Hanson is the Wrecking Ball Australia Needs
Season 2, Episode 24
Show notes
The major parties have had decades to get it right, and they haven't. In a system so captured by vested interests and career politicians, could voting for Pauline Hanson be a rational act of protest? Not because you agree with everything she says, but because disruption has a value of its own. Mike Holt recommends a "spoiler vote," and what it will ultimately achieve for Australia. One Nation's presence can force an overthrow of a duopoly we have suffered for more than 100 years.
