  6. BETRAYAL: Propaganda from the public service to the classroom

    Season 3, Episode 3

    Show notes

    If you think the curriculum is the problem, think again.

    Left-wing propaganda in schools is the consequence of decades of work - turning elected members into puppets, and unelected bureaucrats into middle managers for their masters.

    We're all left high and dry. Unless we're willing to get educated.

  9. VULNERABILITY: And the courage to be honest

    Season 2, Episode 39

    Show notes

    Losing a teaching licence in New Zealand was one of several crises that forced Chris Valli to confront difficult truths about himself. Following a period of professional and personal upheaval, some of it self-inflicted, he came to see vulnerability not as weakness, but as an act of courage and honesty.

    In this conversation, Chris reflects on poor decisions, consequences, accountability, and where an honest examination of one's own story can lead.

  10. 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?

  14. ISLAM: The Long Game

    Season 2, Episode 29

    Show notes

    Islam doesn't whisper its intentions — it broadcasts them. But the doctrine of Taqiyya, the sanctioned use of deception in service of expanding the Islamic world, has many thinking otherwise. To understand the Middle East, stop listening to the narratives and start reading the text.

  15. FATWA: Child Brides, Anal Jihad and the Islamisation of Australia

    Season 2, Episode 28

    Show notes

    As Australia's Muslim population grows where does the compatibility of certain Islamic legal rulings fit with Australian law and values. Some of the most controversial fatwas and practices include the legality of child marriage, the role of women in arranging marriages for their daughters, and a deeply divisive ruling from a number of sheikhs permitting sexual acts between male fighters during jihad.

    What does this mean for the future of Australia?

  16. LIGHTING THE WAY: The South Australian Law That Powers The Nation

    Season 2, Episode 26

    Show notes

    Energy isn't mentioned in the Australian Constitution, yet Australia has a national electricity market with national rules and national regulators. The secret is in one state taking the lead, the others mirror its legislation, all of which include a clause to give the Commonwealth power over power and energy. In the case of energy, South Australia is lighting the way.

  18. DADDY MAMDANI: And the dependency trap

    Season 2, Episode 25

    Show notes

    Zohran Mamdani swept into office promising a new New York, but is Zohran Mamdani's vision of government actually what citizens thought? Critics say his brand of progressive governance is less about lifting people up and more about another agenda. Is he leading New Yorkers or creating a state of co-dependency?

  19. 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.

  20. THEY CHOSE ISIS: Who chose to bring them 'home'?

    Season 2, Episode 23

    Show notes

    They left Australia to join one of the most brutal terrorist organisations in modern history. They watched, and in some cases supported beheadings, slavery, and mass murder.

    Now the Albanese government is rolling out the welcome mat.

    The women who left made a choice. Who's making the choices now, and are they making them for Australia or ISIS?
