Based with Senator Alex Antic

Ramesh Thakur is Emeritus Professor at the Crawford School of Public Policy and the Australian National University, as well as a former Assistant Secretary-General of the United Nations.

Over the past few years, he has become well known for his conservative political commentary on Sky News Australia and his articles for The Spectator Australia, notably criticising vaccine mandates and the Voice to parliament.

On this episode of BASED, Senator Antic and Professor Thakur discuss the impact of pandemic restrictions and policies on public health and democracy, and the shift towards global public health decision making.

Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price is the former Deputy Mayor of Alice Springs, and the current Shadow Minister for Indigenous Affairs.

As a conservative Indigenous woman from the Northern Territory, Senator Nampijinpa Price has spent decades calling it as it is and fighting to resolve real issues that face Indigenous communities, like domestic violence.

A leading campaigner against Labor's proposed "Voice" to Parliament, on this episode of BASED, Senator Nampijinpa Price and I discuss the real issues facing Indigenous Australians, and how the "Voice" will do nothing to address them.

Julian Assange is an Australian citizen and the founder of whistleblower website WikiLeaks established in 2006.

Wikileaks' release in 2010 of leaked video from a United States helicopter showing an air strike that killed civilians in Baghdad, including two Reuters news staff, put Mr Assange on the world stage.

Between 2012 and 2019 Mr Assange was granted political asylum in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, and since August 2019 has been held in a London prison, fighting extradition to the United States.

On this episode of BASED, I speak to Mr Assange’s brother, Gabriel Shipton about his brother’s life, political asylum, eventual imprisonment, what he faces should he be extradited to the United States and what that will mean for journalists around the world.

Moira Deeming MLC is a former teacher and current MP in the Victorian parliament. Earlier this year, she was expelled from the Liberal Party.

The reason? A women’s rights event she spoke at was hijacked by men in black performing Nazi-style salutes, who had no connection with Moira.

Inexplicably, the media and others condemned her and the event, the theme of which was “Let Women Speak.”

On this episode of BASED, Moira and I discuss her origins in the political left, her experiences in the education system, and her career in politics so far.

Senators Gerard Rennick and Matt Canavan championed freedom and liberty during the COVID period.

This month the three of us questioned representatives from Pfizer and Moderna at the Education and Employment Legislation Committee.

On this episode of BASED, recorded in my office in Canberra during the last sitting week, Senator Rennick and Senator Canavan join me to discuss the way in which big pharma has controlled the vaccine narrative over the past three years, and the evidence presented to the committee in Canberra.

Professor Ian Plimer is a geologist and professor emeritus at the University of Melbourne and an outspoken critic of the prevailing climate change narrative.

He is the author of many books including ‘Not for Greens’, ‘Green Murder’, ‘Heaven and Earth’, and ‘A Short History of Planet Earth’.

On this episode of BASED, Senator Antic and Professor Plimer dig into the facts and figures about energy policy, the so-called “climate apocalypse,” and the dangerous incoherence of Net Zero.

Dr. Bjorn Lomborg is a Danish researcher and author whose books have notably gone against the grain of the so-called environmental movement of the past 20+ years, including his latest book "Best Things First".

Dr. Lomborg's work has received criticism from the mainstream scientific world because he speaks the inconvenient truth.

On this episode we discuss the media and the political world’s counterproductive obsession with climate change, explore the futile concept of powering the world with wind and solar, why the UN sustainable development goals are an expensive failure, and why rejecting nuclear power in this so called "climate emergency" is entirely disingenuous.

All this and more on this episode of BASED, you won't want to miss.

Nigel Farage has been described as “the most important British politician of the last decade” and one of the most influential.

On this short episode of Based, in a terrifying glimpse into our socially controlled future, Nigel joins me to discuss the dangerous Voice to Parliament and to reveal in an Australian exclusive the details of his bank cancelling him for political reasons.

If they can cancel Nigel Farage from the banking system, they can cancel anyone.

Andrew Bogut is one of the few Australians to have made it in the NBA. He was the number one NBA draft pick in 2005, and spent his career in the United States until retirement from basketball in 2020, and his return to Australia full time.

Since then he has been one of the most fierce and outspoken critics of Government overreach into our lives during the COVID period, and has a unique perspective into the interaction between Big Government and Big Sport.

On this episode of BASED, Senator Antic and Andrew Bogut discuss the intersection of sport and politics, and why we need more spine in both.

Hanna Moore is a young South Australian woman who suffered a COVID-19 vaccine injury.

On this episode, Hanna describes her experience of being vaccine-injured, the impact it has had on her life, the difficulties she has faced in seeking to have her injury acknowledged, and the growing awareness of how such injuries have impacted peoples’ lives.
