The IPA With You

NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet has almost single handedly dragged Australia kicking and screaming out of Australia’s Covid-Zero mindset. Evan Mulholland hosts 'The IPA With You' and checks the archives for all the warnings of doom and gloom from the supposed experts. Did "the modelling" add up?

The IPA's Dr Bella d'Abrera joins the discussion to discuss what freedom has been like in Sydney.

Evan Mulholland breaks down the top 5 most ridiculous health directives given by governments around Australia throughout the pandemic. From don't be friendly with your neighbours to don't watch sunsets, you do not want to miss this.

The world is judging Australia's coronavirus response, the verdict is not good. Evan Mulholland hosts 'The IPA With You' to discuss the headlines internationally Australia's COVID lockdowns have received.

Joining Evan is Director of Consumer Issues at Americans for Tax Reform, Tim Andrews, to discuss how the reaction to the Australian experience has been in the United States.

Evan Mulholland hosts ‘The IPA With You’ to dissect the experts and the media's failed predictions. We take a look at the mainstream media gushing over Daniel Andrews’ “go hard go early” lockdown approach, and how it all came crashing down to earth with the end of the COVID-Zero elimination strategy. The Project, the ABC, the experts all criticised the NSW governments “lockdown light” but now that Victoria has overtaken NSW case numbers, were they really so bad? IPA Research Fellow Cian Hussey discusses the experience in Western Australia and joins our regular mailbag segment. Read the IPA's report from September 2020, Medical Capacity: An Alternative To Lockdowns, which called for the next of the elimination strategy here: https://ipa.org.au/publications-ipa/research-papers/medical-capacity-an-alternative-to-lockdowns To join our mailbag segment, email [email protected]

Evan Mulholland hosts The IPA With You to discuss how the media is lying to you. The mainstream media are attempting to delegitimize and smear protesters as "right wing extremists". They are full of contradictions. We expose the the lies of the media and the political elites.

Evan speaks to Dr Bella d'Abrera about why our fundamental freedoms like the right to protest are so important. To join our mailbag segment, email [email protected]

 NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian ends daily press conferences. The media complains but shouldn't we care more that the Parliament is suspended?

It’s been a long, tough road – but it looks like Australia’s coronavirus nightmare is finally coming to an end. The grotesque apparatus of state coercion that is Australia’s coronavirus response is being dismantled.

But while we may have some freedoms back, we have not been given justice. The villains who have done this to us still have their jobs and positions of power, as the victims rebuild their lives.

What can we learn from this terrible chapter in Australian and world history? And how can we prevent it from happening again?

We talk to Sanjeev Sabhlok - the former Victorian government official who resigned in protest over the coronavirus response - about his new book, The Great Hysteria and the Broken State.

It turns out that people have become so terrified of the coronavirus, that they’ll live through absolutely anything, and then ask for more.

Recent elections in New Zealand and Queensland gave sweeping majorities to incumbent governments that campaigned hard on lockdowns and border closures. And increasingly, it looks like coronavirus panic has affected the US election result as well.

We talk to legendary freedom-fighter Daisy Cousens, who explains why we should still be optimistic despite the likely return to the hard-left Democrats to the White House.

After seven months, two lockdowns, 696,000 job losses, a $1.9 billion dollar decline in private sector wages, a 77 per cent rise in calls to Beyond Blue and 117 of those wretched press conferences, Melbourne is out of lockdown.

But this is not over. We are still in a ‘state of emergency’, and many businesses will struggle to turn a profit with punitive patronage limits.

We also talk to Sky News Melbourne Reporter Gabriella Power about the possibility that Victoria’s third-rate contact tracing system and why it may plunge us into a third lockdown.

We thought carefully about how to talk about the subject of today’s episode, but there is really no easy way to discuss it.

Four newborn babies have died in the last month, allegedly because coronavirus restrictions meant that they were unable to be airlifted from Adelaide to Melbourne for specialised medical treatment. This follows the death of an unborn child in August after the mother was prevented from travelling from northern NSW to a hospital in Brisbane.

What kind of a country have we become? Why have we allowed these awful tragedies to happen for the sake of ‘keeping us safe’?

We also speak to writer and political commentator Alexandra Marshall - from her vantage point in regional NSW - for an outsiders’ perspective on what you’re saying about Victoria’s endless lockdown.
