November 05, 2022 The People's Project Season 6 Episode 20: What's Wrong With Western Australia?
In this episode of The People's Project with Comedian Corey White and 'Lady Liberty' Kate Fantinel:

STATE DADDY
We explore the shenanigans of Western Australia's 'State Daddy' Premier Mark McGowan. Why exactly is he so popular? And does he deserve the fame? The panel stacked with West Australians disagrees with Matt who finds McGowan endearing.
We delve into the links between government and big businesses like Fortescue Metal Group (Twiggy Forrest).
THE KINGDOM OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA
Now that Mark McGowan has secured a completely red parliament and the Liberals have only 2 seats, this is what he gets up to.
Immediately after the election win in March 2022 Mark's police minister Paul Papalia colluded with media to dox law abiding firearm owners, publishing the location of every registered firearm for criminals to steal.
Pandemic powers are enshrined forever in Australia's first genuine police state - the Police Commissioner holds all authority to use the powers with no ministerial oversight and no accountability to the public (via an election).
COMEDIANS ON THE FRONT LINE
We explore the state of comedy in Australia and why the industry is stacked with virtue signaling nonsense that isn't even funny.

October 28, 2022Professor Ben Mol - Medical Interventions, Lockdowns and Fabricated Research
Ben Mol is a Professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Monash Health, Melbourne. He focuses deeply on medical interventions: what are they, why are they deployed, are they overused?
He leads the Evidenced based Women's Health Care Research Group who are investigate whether medical interventions around the world are conducted with evidence, are beneficial to patients, and whether they cause harm.
In the course of his research, Ben has uncovered startling evidence such as 30% of peer-reviewed and published randomly controlled trials being completely fabricated.
In this interview we explored the world's largest health intervention to date: government and public health responses to Covid-19. The professor has been vocal about the injustice and illogic of vaccine mandates, punitive measures against Queensland's unvaccinated teachers, the deportation of Novak Djokovic from Australia, malfeasance in academic research, and lockdowns as 'one of the greatest peacetime policy failures in modern history'.

October 21, 2022 The People's Project Season 6 Episode 19: What's the Deal with Cannabis?
In this episode of The People's Project with David Limbrick MP and Corrine from Smoke Dreams:
IS CANNABIS GOOD OR BAD?
The conservative view is that cannabis is not only harmful, it's immoral and 'ILLEGAL!'. This has been the dominant message in policing, media and politics for nearly 100 years. The progressive view is that it's harmless and to be celebrated, endorsed and embraced by all. But is it as simple as either side makes out?
THE WAR ON DRUGS
When governments spend billions of dollars on drug harm policies, how much do you think actually goes towards harm minimisation, prevention and treatment, as opposed to brute enforcement?
LEGALISING CANNABIS IN AUSTRALIA
We explore the famous Portugal case study where all drugs were decriminalised 20 years ago. Did it work? What about in Australia - how are we tracking and can we stop the global trend towards decriminalisation and legalisation? This is after the ACT just announced it will be legal to possess drugs like cocaine, heroin and speed.

October 15, 2022Zuby: Real Talk About Australia
Zuby is an internationally recognised rap and hip hop artist who also achieved fame as the champion British female deadlift record holder (238kg).
Designed to raise awareness of the absurdity of biological men competing against biological women in sport, the stunt eclipsed his music success and he was thrust into the culture wars where he has been offering previously common - but now exceedingly rare - takes on society.
He continues to self publish his music and books, as well as tour internationally as a keynote speaker on a variety of his interests including music, cryptocurrency, culture, and self-improvement.
He kindly agreed to an extended interview with Discernable in the suburbs of Melbourne where we could explore his views in a specifically Australian context.

September 28, 2022 Anarcho Capitalism: not what you think it is with Kris Borer
Kris Borer is the author of 'The Ethics of Anarcho Capitalism' and I invited him on the show for an extended exploration of what libertarianism, capitalism, libertarianism etc actually is and whether Australians should take notice or simply go on living ignorant of these ideologies.
Is taxation theft? Are government subsidies unethical? Is it ok to do some harm to avoid even greater harm?
We discussed anarchism, capitalism, libertarianism, ethics, societal conflicts, the robot apocalypse, cronyism, morality and values.

September 25, 2022 The People's Project with Stanford's Jay Bhattacharya
In this special episode of The People’s Project with Stanford’s Jay Bhattacharya and the Assistant Secretary General (ret.) of the United Nations Professor Ramesh Thakur:
ANALYSING MELBOURNE'S LOCKDOWNS
We step through the lockdowns and delve into the science behind the Great Barrington Declaration compared to 'The ScienceTM' practised by governments around the world (except Sweden). Jay has some choice words for the unique hell unleashed on Victorians and expertly describes what Public Health as a science actually is and does.
Gladys Berejiklian and Leigh Sales make an appearance to lighten the mood amongst many minutes of Daniel Andrews press sermons...I mean conferences.
Jay definitively explains whether we were 'following the science'.
MAKING LOCKDOWNS REAL
Watch the expert panel react to the most egregious of pandemic measures. What will they say when confronted with the absurdities of pandemic policy gone mad?
ANTHROPOMORPHISE & EXAGGERATE
We explore the anthropomorphisation of Sars-CoV-2 and the circumstances in which exaggeration would be justified in public health messaging.
We embrace our own exaggeration with the fine work of Remix Matrix who reveals the true ambitions of NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian.
SHAME THE PEOPLE
Jay takes us into the world of unvaccinated shaming. Should we divide and shame to engender compliance? What does he think of leaders like NT Chief Minister Michael Gunner, and panicked citizens who are boosted up the wazoo but still fear and catch Covid-19?
We have a censored discussion about vaccination effectiveness and whether young people are safer with or without, and the concepts of 'pandemic of the vaccinated', 'pandemic of the boosted' and natural immunity vs vaccinated immunity.
Finally, the retired Assistant Secretary General to the United Nations explains what we really should worry about when it comes to globalised, centralised power structures like the W.E.F., the U.N. and the W.H.O.

September 16, 2022 The People's Project Season 6 Episode 18: Do Human Rights Still Matter?
In this week's episode of The People's Project with David Limbrick MP and Human Rights Lawyer Peter Fam:
EXPERTS ATTACK VACCINE MANDATES
The esteemed British Medical Journal (which has been braver than most journals) details the insane politicisation of mandates and the demonisation of people backfiring for the medical establishment.
We read out the most egregious statements by world leaders.
AUSTRALIANS WON'T FORGET
Forget political parties, Australians open their own wallets to fund political ads against premiers. The anger stems from failing emergency services that governments refuse to fund.
We also air the bombshell from Chairman of ESTA (Victoria's 000) Roger Leming who was fired for warning in 2016 that 000 was about to fail.
Ambulance Victoria continues to spend up big on gender and diversity executives.
STOP BLAMING THE PANDEMIC
Victorians continue to die on Daniel Andrews' watch in Victoria and he issues a personal apology...blaming the virus.
We air 2014 footage of Daniel Andrews raging against an ambulance crisis saying 'we can't afford another 4 years of tragedy...we can't have families left on their own...too many people taken too soon because the ambulance took too long.'
THE CHICKENS COME HOME TO ROOST
Human rights lawyer Peter Fam details how the law moves and changes with the times, predicting an inevitable onslaught of civil negligence cases against medical professionals.
David Limbrick MP explains his idea for a non-profit organisation to fund human rights cases against government, and have a 'chilling effect' on human rights abuses as agencies begin to fear the accountability of real oversight.

September 09, 2022The People's Project Season 6 Episode 17: Living In The Upside Down
In this week's episode of The People's Project:
FAT IS THE NEW FIT
The body positivity movement brought us 'beautiful at any size' but now we're drifting into 'healthy at any size' which is surely, medically, empirically, experientially and scientifically untrue.
THE NEW RELIGION: SOCIAL JUSTICE
Author Andrew Doyle writes about the Salem Witch Trials in 1692 which when properly understood, explain how social justice activists force entire societies into submission, even when we all know what they are saying is false.
OK GROOMER
After being labelled as racists, misogynists, bigots, fascists and homophobes, conservatives are fighting back with a pejorative of their own: 'Groomer'. And it's working (because it's partly true).
GOD SAVE THE IDIOT KING
The amazing Queen Elizabeth II dies at 96, and is succeeded by the idiot King Charles III. Despite witnessing the rock solid example of his mother who remained above politics, King Charles is determined to divide society and campaign on activist causes, sullying the Crown and undermining the stability of the Royal Family who preserve their power by giving it away and staying out of the fray.
NEWS WITHOUT NOTICE
White House and Anthony Fauci declare that C-19 stabs are forever: yearly in perpetuity for everyone and more often for the vulnerable.

Daniel Andrews is caught out at a fundraiser dinner maskless, so why are they so dedicated to mask theatre in the parliament?

The House Judiciary Committee in the USA gets censored by BigTech for stating the obvious: 'you have to pay your loans back'.
