Trading and sailing

from Counterpoint Hosted by Australian Broadcasting Corporation

Do we depend less on Chinese trade than we think? Will Australian troops be taking our hearts and minds with them into their next mission or are the days of social mobilization for our military over? A fabulous seafaring tale with no drunken sailors but plenty of maths, in schools, with exams. Might whales and elephants hold the key to preventing cancer?

Featuring Power Is Taken Not Given, Counterpoint Politics, & Cocktails & Capitalism Counterpoint with Eddie Hobbs Eddie Hobbs Counterpoint searches for wisdom from among dissenters.Critical thinkers have a latent love for plain speaking in open debates that do not flinch before sacred cows especially true of Irish audiences. Expect Counterpoint interviews to be curious, challenging, and dissenting across global themes, in the common search for authenticity and truth, beyond the footprints of groupthink. Eddie Hobbs is known for his blockbuster TV series Rip Off Republic which set audience records for Irish TV when his humourous polemic forensically challenged the Irish Government on how the State was 'eating its young'. It was a harbinger of the Irish crash. Since 2020, Hobbs has consistently called out the Irish 4th Estate for deserting the Irish people, for not challenging State policies on COVID. He also called out the Irish President for failing in his duty to use the Constitution to protect the people from vaccine passports.
