Join Freya Leach on her show Freya for John Anderson Media, with a wide-ranging examination of the cultural, geopolitical and moral crises shaping the West. Drawing on her background in Australian politics, policy development and media, Freya challenges many of the assumptions underpinning modern Western society — from moral relativism, feminism, geopolitics, social fabric and migration policy. Empathy and tolerance, she argues, cannot replace truth and justice without weakening the civilisational foundations that sustain freedom, social cohesion and human flourishing.This first episode of Freya turns to the unfolding conflict in Iran, analysing the recent U.S. and Israeli strikes on the Iranian regime and what they mean for regime stability, deterrence and the broader Middle East. Is this regime change or regime alteration? What signal does it send to China regarding Taiwan? Freya also examines the reaction of Australia’s national broadcaster, the ABC, and the wider Western media response, raising questions about bias, national interest and the defence of democratic allies.The discussion then broadens to domestic pressures in Australia: mass immigration, housing affordability, net overseas migration, international students and temporary visa pathways, and their impact on the housing crisis. With reference to national security concerns, ISIS-linked radicalisation, social cohesion and border policy, Freya argues that economic strain and cultural fragmentation are not isolated problems but interconnected outcomes of long-standing political decisions.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------00:00 Intro01:00 The lies the West believe5:29 How the West reacted to Iran16:40 The problem with mass immigration28:34 ISIS brides in Australia32:05 IS style attacks on LGBT men in Australia
