  • The One Nation Effect; Mass Immigration; Your Internet Access Under Threat | The Mainstream S2E12

    This week, Dan Wild is joined by IPA Research Fellow Margaret Chambers to discuss the Federal Government’s response to One Nation’s win in WA and it’s chilling impact on freedom of speech; why mass immigration is once again at the forefront of public discussion; and how the proposed Digital Duty of Care laws threaten to impact every Australian’s access to the internet, not just children.

  • Two Bobs, One Nation; Burke Backflips on Migration; Liberal-Labor Coalition? | The Mainstream S2E11

    This week Dan is back and this week is joined by IPA Research Fellow Cian Hussey.


    Dan and Cian discuss why two Bobs: Sir Robert Menzies and Bob Hawke would have backed One Nation; the real reason Tony Burke delayed his Press Club address on immigration and what this says about Labor's internal divisions; what a thought experiment about the 2028 election reveals if the polling is correct about One Nation's seat winning surge, and why international precedent suggests some Liberals could prefer to govern with Labor rather than One Nation. Cian and Dan also share their enthusiasm for Australia's sheer domination in the Commonwealth Games, and why Jacinta Allan would still be Premier if the Games had of been kept in Victoria.

    Cian Hussey writes for his personal substack called No Permanent Solutions which you can subscribe to at https://cianjhussey.substack.com/
