Carney Says the Old Order Is Dead – Should Australia Listen? | Prof. Warwick Powell

from Bogan Intelligentsia · host Joel Jenkins

In Episode 46 we sit down with Professor Warwick Powell – Adjunct Professor at Queensland University of Technology, expert on global political economy, China’s rise, tariffs as geopolitical tools, and Australia’s place in a fracturing world order – for a clear-eyed, incisive examination of the accelerating rupture in the international system. Powell unpacks Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s dramatic pivot: his January 2026 Beijing visit forging a new strategic partnership with China on energy, agri-food, and trade, followed by a provocative Davos speech declaring the old liberal rules-based order dead and urging middle powers like Canada and Australia to stop pretending and act together against great-power coercion and autarky. Amid Trump’s invite to his “Board of Peace,” the US 2026 National Defense Strategy downplaying China as the explicit threat, and escalating tariff weaponisation, Powell explores the sincerity of Carney’s moves, the viability of a middle-power union, US domestic instability and spillover risks, the credibility crisis for Australia’s neocon establishment, AUKUS under pressure, and whether this is the moment for a bold Australian foreign policy reset toward genuine sovereignty.Podcast Details:Duration: ~1h 24m | Release Date: Monday, 2 February 2026 | Guest: Professor Warwick Powell – Adjunct Professor, Queensland University of Technology Support the Launch:Subscribe for free on Substack at boganintel.com to get episodes and show notes, or go paid ($5/month). Listen on Spotify or Apple Podcasts. Watch the video version on our YouTube channel.

Cars That Made Australia 9Podcasts Australians have a long-standing love affair with the automobile and when, in 1948, the first Holden came off the production line, our cars also became part of our national pride. Our cars do more than take us from A to B, they are freedom on four wheels. What we drive reflects our personalities, and our aspirations, and even allows us to let out our inner bogan. This is the story of the car that your folks bought home when you were a kid and you climbed all over the back seat. It’s the car that you crammed into on those hot summer road trips. It’s that model that you saved up for when you were a teenager or the car that your friend has that took you out of the suburbs. It's the car that you were brought home in from the hospital (potentially without being secured properly).This is the story of the people who drove them and the people that rode in them... this is the story of the Cars That Made Australia. Ukraina and the Peace-conference Stanislav Dnistriansky The 19th century was the Golden Age of Nationalism in Europe. By the end of the century many countries achieved their national self-determination. But the asunder of the territories was still a cause of dispute which led to the Great War (WWI) in 1914. Ukrainian nationalism reached its peak in the early years of the 20th century. The Great War was the opportunity of the nation to obtain its unification and liberty from Russian Empire and Austria-Hungary which kept Ukraine under their reign for decades. Ukrainian intelligentsia and peasants of all ages and genders from both parts of the divided Ukraine united for a common goal – the independence of Ukraine. Ukrainian National Republic was created as the result of the struggle. Despite the large population of this nation, UNR still had to fight for its recognition by the world. - Summary by Anastasiia Solokha Mick Munter Monster Hunter Mick Munter / Wondery Every month, Mick Munter explores the untamed wilderness looking for monsta's!
