My guest today is Tim Andrews is Director of Consumer Issues for Americans for Tax Reform based in Washington DC.

He was previously Executive Director of the Australian Taxpayers’ Alliance is or has been on the boards of a host of free market think tanks globally including the HR Nicholls Society, and the Australian Libertarian Society. He previously ran the very successful Friedman Conferences in Sydney for many years.

We discussed:

• The current mood in Washington DC and how people are reacting
• His interpretation of Trump policy framework and whether it really differs from the previous Reagan centre-right Washington Consensus
• His views on Ukraine war
• His views on immigration and his personal experience with the Cronulla Riots in Sydney
• Our long standing argument on trade policy and why he still is in favour of free trade
• Whether if any of his policy positions have changed since Trump rise in 2015.
• How the Trump presidency could go wrong and whether the current national conservative moment could in turn followed by a more libertarian moment in due course

And much more.
