    Antony brings a unique perspective to events in the Middle East at no small cost to himself, I suspect. The podcast flows freely, providing insights that you will find nowhere else.

  • Love it!

    Have just come across this episode by chance & couldn’t stop bingeing. What an utterly refreshing, honest voice telling things as they actually are. A person gets so fed up with the lies, the gaslighting & the dishonesty from MSM & even “our” ABC. Keep up the great work Antony

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sudan’s Hidden Catastrophe: Dr. Eva Khair on War, Genocide and Global Silence
Q: Why did international attention spike briefly around al-Fashir, and what happened afterward?
The UN Security Council resolution and international attention slowed RSF advances briefly, but momentum waned as administrative changes and shifting politics in key powers reduced pressure, allowing atrocities to continue and escalate.
Sudan’s Hidden Catastrophe: Dr. Eva Khair on War, Genocide and Global Silence
Q: Explain briefly what is happening in Sudan since April 2023.
Dr. Khair describes a multi-layered conflict where the civilian population is the primary casualty, with three simultaneous frontlines: local ethnic tensions, a national struggle between SAF and RSF, and a regional web of backing from powerful states, leading to mass displacement and a severe humanitarian crisis.
The One Nation Series P2: How Pauline Hanson Changed Australia Without Winning
Q: There was a moment in 2016 when Hanson returned to Parliament and media houses gave her extensive platforms; what did that do to the political landscape?
That visibility legitimized Hanson and created a recurring media cycle that kept her at the center of national conversation, enabling the Liberal Party to ride the wave of her rhetoric while presenting themselves as capable stewards of those same policies.
The One Nation Series P2: How Pauline Hanson Changed Australia Without Winning
Q: Let me set the scene and ask: how did early-2000s political context buoy Pauline Hanson even when her party appeared to be waning?
The guest explains that Howard's administration recognized the electoral space Hanson opened and used it to shift the Liberal Party toward her populist stance, effectively neutralizing One Nation as a standalone threat while absorbing its policies to capture the same voter base.
Inside the US Kidnapping of Venezuela’s President
Q: Now, to the government's credit, they have always been allowed to participate, or just about all of them, in electoral politics. But what they have done is, when they believe that they're not going to win elections, they will withdraw, they'll say no, the conditions aren't right.
Rodrigo explains how the political dynamics differ between the government and more radical oppositions in Venezuela, highlighting the complexity of the political situation.
