Australians head to the polling booths very soon. While the media say the election is all about cost of living, energy and housing, it’s about much more than that.

In part 2 of Conversations with a Libertarian, Policy Director Mark Hornshaw discusses immigration, free speech and making a vote count. There’s also some sticky questions from listeners on education, the NDIS and gender affirming care. As the 2025 Australian election draws near, there’s food for thought whatever flag you wave.

The 2025 Federal Election in Australia follows the most divisive period in our history since the Iraq War. While the two major parties focus on the economy, climate and energy, the enormous social issues that concern the electorate are being ignored.

Unrestrained immigration, increased youth crime, the assault on freedom of speech, gender ideology madness and the rising cost of living have changed the lucky country to a fractured shadow of itself. Could the so called ‘minor parties’ stop the bleeding? The Libertarians explain why they are solid alternative to the two party system. (Part 1 of 2).

Intro / Exit music by Zapsplat

In 2024, Australia’s Federal Government allocated $7million to the country’s largest LGBTQA lobby group - ACON, to create a Cervical Cancer Screening campaign for women. The campaign did not go to tender with the final outcome being a campaign aimed at “Women and people with a cervix”. Biological fact tells us that only women have a cervix. Is the campaign misinformation, disinformation or just government sponsored activism. You decide.

10-minute version. This Philtered Mini is a condensed version of Episode 2, The Truth about Puberty Blockers. It comes as the recent polling of attitudes to gender ideology finds Australians overwhelmingly reject puberty blockers for children, gender education in schools and preferred pronouns. Politicians who stand with Australians in their opposition to this ideology will gain immense support.

Self ID, where anyone can identify as the other sex, is being proposed in the Australian States of Queensland and Victoria. Labelled as ‘progressive’ in these Labor states, the legislative outcome is being watched around the world. Will Australia become a leader in the denial of women’s rights in favor of a micro-minority of trans-extremists? I ask women’s advocates from both states what can be done to stop the stupidity of Self-ID.

Trans-extremism and it’s toxic medical sidekick of the gender affirming economy are cults that have infiltrated politics, education, medicine and the media. What will the world be like if transgender ideology maintains its current momentum? I ask past Professor of Psychology, psychotherapist and author Dianna Kenny what could be in store.
