Ep. 316: Benita Explains it All


Listen Later

On August 31st, March for Australia spilled across the streets and into the headlines. 

But who organised it? And if not the neo-Nazis of Australia’s far-right National Socialist Network (NSN), then why did their notorious leader Thomas Sewell take the main stage in Melbourne?

Victorian State Correspondent Benita Kolovos sits down with Stephen to explore:

📣 the complexities behind the rally’s messaging, 

🔍 myths and lies about immigration,

❌ and the attack on Camp Sovereign. 


Plus, get the backstory on Victoria’s historic Treaty Bill, Dan Andrews’s visit to China, and the housing plans that have sent some inner Melbourne residents into a frenzy.
