In this episode former MP and tennis champion John Alexander explains why Australia’s biggest ideas never see the light of day. He shares how politics has become a battlefield where vision dies, from decades of failed high speed rail studies to a housing crisis that is locking young Australians out of home ownership. John argues that value capture could fund infrastructure, ease the cost of living, and restore fairness, but only if we move beyond partisan point scoring. This is a candid look at how the political system is failing and what must change to secure Australia’s future.
