  • Mainstream media

    Excellent podcast. The Australia Institute provides data and analysis that should be used by mainstream media for its political, economic and social policy analysis. It seems solid answers to tax reform, the housing crisis, and other issues are not difficult if only governments would broaden their information input.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

AUKUS drags Australia towards US-Israel war on Iran
Q: What are the legal grounds being used to justify the war, if any?
The guest asserts there are none that are credible, describing the war as illegal and a mass deployment of force without an imminent threat, highlighting a disconnect between public justification and international law.
Gary Stevenson on wealth inequality and the rise of the far-right
Q: Why is wealth taxation necessary according to the guest?
Because the current system taxes income rather than wealth, allowing massive fortunes to accumulate and pass on wealth without proportional taxation, which undermines living standards for ordinary people.
“On the brink of extinction”: Niki Savva on the modern Liberal Party
Q: Can we say that there are any moderates left in the modern Liberal parliamentary party, and if so, are they actually allowed to have any power?
No, as far as I can see, moderates aren't allowed to express their views openly, which poses a problem for the party's future.
“On the brink of extinction”: Niki Savva on the modern Liberal Party
Q: Is Angus Taylor the man to drag them out of that abyss?
No, and I don't think a man can drag them out of the abyss; they need more significant changes and perhaps a better leadership approach, potentially a woman.
“On the brink of extinction”: Niki Savva on the modern Liberal Party
Q: Niki, I'll start with you. What the fuck is going on with the Liberal Party?
The Liberal Party is in a very perilous position with two catastrophic election defeats and possibly more to come, struggling to define what they stand for amid declining popularity.
