The Karl Stefanovic Show

Australia is at a crossroads.

This week on The Panel, Karl Stefanovic, Gerard Rennick and Heston Russell ask the question many Australians are already asking: when did we stop leading?

From the return of ISIS-linked Australians and the impact of AI on jobs, to soaring energy costs, renewable energy subsidies, foreign investment, and whether governments have lost the ability to think beyond the next election.

The panel also debates:

• Should Australia embrace nuclear energy?

• Is AI creating opportunity or replacing workers?

• Why are Australians leaving for opportunities overseas?

• Has leadership been replaced by politics?

• Do we need to rethink how Australia is governed? Agree or disagree?

Australian success stories don't get much better than this.

Karl sits down with the family behind Ringers Western to hear how three siblings from a remote Kimberley cattle station turned an idea sketched on a Weet-Bix box into one of Australia's fastest-growing clothing brands.

From mustering cattle in some of the toughest conditions on earth to building a business based on family, resilience and hard work, this is the remarkable story behind the iconic Australian brand.

The conversation covers:

• Growing up on El Questro Station in the Kimberley

• The campfire conversation that started Ringers Western

• Turning a sketch into a national brand

• Building a business as a family

• Leadership, entrepreneurship and Australian values

• The challenges of scaling a clothing company

• Why they're now setting their sights on America

This is more than a story about clothing – it's about taking a simple idea and building something extraordinary.

Australia is facing growing questions over the economy, national identity, migration and defence.

Former SAS soldier Mark Wales joins political commentator Calista Clements and Karl Stefanovic to discuss whether Australia is on the verge of a major economic contraction, why confidence is collapsing, and whether families are paying the price for years of poor policy.

The panel also debates Pauline Hanson's monoculture comments, the ‘many journeys, one jersey’ message from Socceroos star Awer Mabil, skilled migration, patriotism, political accountability and what it means to be Australian.

Adam Brooks is a British commentator, businessman and pub owner who has become one of the UK's fastest-growing independent voices on immigration, crime and free speech.

After building a large online following through his outspoken commentary and appearances on GB News, Brooks has become known for reporting stories he believes the mainstream media ignores, including the Epping protests, illegal migration and Britain's grooming gangs scandal.

His views have made him one of the country's most polarising commentators, earning both widespread support and fierce criticism as debates over immigration, public safety and national identity continue across Britain.
