In this episode of Australia’s Future, Tony Abbott and Daniel Wild discuss the war with Iran, Australia’s energy and fuel vulnerability, the future of the US alliance, the rise of One Nation, and why immigration must be brought back under control.
Tony Abbott argues that the Iranian regime is a menace to the world, that Australia has failed to properly support its most important ally, and that the country must urgently rebuild its sovereignty in energy, defence, and migration policy.
The discussion covers:
- Why Abbott says action against the Iranian regime is justified
- What the Iran conflict means for Australia’s fuel security
- Why Australia should be doing more to support the United States
- The new leadership of the Nationals under Matt Canavan
- The rise of One Nation and what it means for the Coalition
- Why migration numbers must be cut back to Howard-era levels
- The latest IPA polling on immigration and social cohesion
- What the South Australian election and Farrah by-election could reveal about the political mood
This is a conversation about national sovereignty, alliance credibility, migration, energy, and the future direction of Australia.
