The Institute of Public Affairs’ Daniel Wild and John Roskam share differing views on whether burning the Australian flag should be a criminal offence as they discuss new IPA research on Australians’ attitudes toward the burning of their flag.

Dan and John also discuss the decision of Prime Minister Albanese to 'recognise' Palestinian statehood; the record decline in trust of Australians toward the media; and how Labor have been captured by narrow, sectional interests.

John reviews a book he has been reading, End Times by Peter Turchin, and they share their unique perspective on the decision of the AFL to have Snoop Dogg perform at the Grand Final.

The Mainstream with Daniel Wild and John Roskam is a podcast of the Institute of Public Affairs.
