    How the mighty have fallen I listened to Philip Adam’s religiously. Mar is a poor replacement.

  • Perfect for Australians abroad

    I always enjoyed LNL in Australia on the drive home from work. However, when living overseas it is so so valuable for accessing excellent journalism on Australian current affairs and culture. There is nothing like it. Thank you from abroad and please keep on with the amazing work! (PS the program music cheers me up every time I hear it. )

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Anna Henderson's Canberra, Ash Sarkar critques the modern Left, and should daylight savings be permanent?
Q: Tell us about the response to Roger Hallam when he spoke to the left and what it revealed about discourse within activist spaces?
The response was one of shock and alarm at the crude language, highlighting how people are quick to interpret rhetoric as an issue of race or agenda, while the speaker argues that discomfort and frankness are part of radical political life, and that over-sensitivity can hinder collective action.
Ian Dunt's UK, and the Shahs and Ayatollahs of Iran
Q: Ian, how do you think Starmer's approach compares to Albanese's in handling international crises and domestic energy policy?
The two leaders are navigating different political landscapes, but both show a preference for steady, technocratic messaging over dramatic rhetoric, aiming to reassure the public while quietly preparing policy shifts that align with broader strategic goals.
Guns and God in the USA, plus fresh scrutiny on weedkiller Roundup
Q: What is the core argument driving the link between white evangelical Christianity and gun culture?
The discussion argues that white evangelical Christians embraced a weaponized political identity starting in the late 60s-70s, aligning their religious values with a hard-right stance that supports arming themselves for perceived threats, and that this shift has been reinforced by cultural and political changes.
Bruce Shapiro's USA, Trump’s business in the Gulf, plus the Museum of Failure
Q: How extensive are the Gulf deals and who benefits?
The Trump family has expanded branding and real estate-related deals in the Gulf, with significant revenue flowing to family entities; the setup leverages the Trump brand and crypto ventures, raising questions about conflicts of interest and governance.
Ian Dunt's UK, Geoffrey Watson finds the NACC wanting and the power of presidential pardons
Q: Could you explain the difference between a pardon, reprieve, and commutation in the US system?
A pardon fully clears the conviction; a reprieve delays punishment; and a commutation lowers the sentence or fines, with amnesty sometimes applying broadly to groups.
