Bogan Intelligentsia

On Episode 74 of Bogan Intelligentsia, Yorta Yorta journalist, broadcaster and 7am co-host Daniel James joins us for a wide-ranging and unflinching conversation on Australia’s unfinished business with its First Peoples.

Drawing on his work hosting The Mission on 3RRR and his sharp political analysis, Daniel examines the post-Voice landscape, the vacuum of truth-telling, the battle over national identity, Blak sovereignty versus mainstream leadership. 

Under the theme National Identity and sovereignty, Daniel reflects on what the country still refuses to face, where genuine agency is being built, and what a deeper, more honest Australian story might actually look like.

On Episode 73 of Bogan Intelligentsia, former South Australian Senator, Royal Australian Navy submariner and transparency warrior Rex Patrick joins us for an excellent analysis into the AUKUS nuclear submarine deal.

Drawing on his recent testimony to the AUKUS Public Inquiry, ongoing FOI battles and sharp analysis of the June 2026 shift to second-hand Virginia-class boats, Rex examines the growing undersea capability gap, the US industrial base shortfalls that forced Australia onto used subs, the government’s aggressive secrecy over nuclear waste storage sites and costs, and the absence of clawbacks or a credible Plan B.

On Episode 72 of Bogan Intelligentsia, Beirut-based Palestinian-Syrian journalist, media producer and founder of Free Palestine TV, Laith Marouf, joins us for an update on the war in southern Lebanon.

Drawing on his continuous on-the-ground reporting from Beirut and the south since our last conversation in early June, Laith examines the limited Israeli withdrawals and the widening gap between official ceasefire announcements and the actual control map south of the Litani.

Laith then reflects on whether the current phase marks a genuine strategic turning point, the biggest media distortions still shaping Western coverage, and what comes next for the resistance and the region.

On Episode 71 of Bogan Intelligentsia, Dr Yousef AlKhouri, Academic Dean and Assistant Professor of Biblical Studies at Bethlehem Bible College, Gazan-born Palestinian Christian theologian and board member of Kairos Palestine, joins us for a powerful conversation on the living Christian presence in Palestine.

Dr AlKhouri unpacks Christianity’s ancient and continuous presence in Gaza, the concept of ecclesiocide, Christian Zionism as a form of theological terrorism, and the accelerating demographic decline and pressures facing Palestinian Christians. He reflects on theology from the rubble, Western Christian silence, and what costly peacemaking demands of the global Church.

On Episode 70 of Bogan Intelligentsia, Honorary Professor of Modern European History at the University of Newcastle and leading expert on Russian and Soviet history, Roger Markwick, joins us to unpack the often omitted historical elements that impact on the Ukraine war.

Drawing on decades of scholarship, Professor Markwick examines the post-1945 roots of the conflict, NATO expansion, the 2014 Maidan events and Donbas war, and Putin’s strategic calculus compared to Soviet-era approaches. He analyses whether 2026 marks a potential turning point, Ukraine’s intensified long-range drone campaign against Russian oil infrastructure, tankers, and logistics centres.

In a sharp and revealing conversation on Bogan Intelligentsia, investigative journalist and editor of The Klaxon, Anthony Klan, joins us to pull back the curtain on the pro-Israel lobby’s influence in Australian politics, media and public institutions.

Drawing on his recent reporting, Anthony dives deep into Jillian Segal’s dual role as Antisemitism Envoy while tied to pro-Israel lobby groups, her family trust donations to the far-right Advance network, and her high-profile appearances at the Royal Commission. He also covers the savage attacks on Sarah Schwartz of the Jewish Council of Australia, the Australian Jewish News article that was published then deleted, aggressive lobbying that led to event cancellations, and the broader push to constrain protest and criticism of Israel.
