  • Linda Dessau

    Loved this conversation but it highlighted how people live in a privileged bubble. I see people who live in outer suburbia with racist views including anti-semitism. It’s white with zero diversity and it breeds ignorance. Linda Dessau makes some valid points but lives in a wealthy bubble . Still enjoyed the conversation.

  • The Liberal party heard, however didn’t listen.

    22 days on, reflecting on Peter Dutton losing his parliamentary seat, adding humiliation to a night of crushing defeat. Sussan Ley, the first ever woman to lead the federal Liberal Party following the catastrophic rejection of the Dutton-Ley team, the Liberal Party’s worst ever defeat. Dutton told us he was a strong leader, tough and decisive, however looking more closely there was barely anything there, only claims and bluster. Interesting times ahead.

  • Great Interview

    Loved the interview with who I hope to be our next PM, Peter Dutton - such a sensible ‘salt of the earth’ man! I think he has Australia’s best interests at heart and I would feel much safer and more secure if he were running the country - thanks Neil really enjoying the podcast…As to Albo - you held him to account Neil but he is such a condescending man - very weak and I despair if he is elected again.
