The decades long falsehood that boys and men are bad and women are victims, has reached breaking point. The family court system, media, and institutions have consistently failed Australian families with more men than women paying the ultimate price - killing themselvesA conversation with Peter RichardsonSupport the show

Inside Victoria's prisons, tradies are threatened into becoming a drug supply line - to keep prisoners happy and their families safe. It's one thread in a pattern of lawlessness that goes all the way to the top.From union shop steward, to alleged witness at the scene of the 2013 accident involving then-Premier Daniel Andrews, to Police minister.An unintended conversation with Peter Richardson, with a very a necessary outcome.Support the show

If you think the curriculum is the problem, think again. Left-wing propaganda in schools is the consequence of decades of work - turning elected members into puppets, and unelected bureaucrats into middle managers for their masters. We're all  left high and dry. Unless we're willing to get educated.A conversation with Tony Thomas.Support the show

Losing a teaching licence in New Zealand was one of several crises that forced Chris Valli to confront difficult truths about himself. Following a period of professional and personal upheaval, some of it self-inflicted, he came to see vulnerability not as weakness, but as an act of courage and honesty.In this conversation, Chris reflects on poor decisions, consequences, accountability, and where an honest examination of one's own story can lead. Support the show

The polls are showing more than a growing interest in Hanson. It seems she's a rock star for those desperate for something other than the two major parties.Will it last or will something change, turning this disruptor into another has been?A Conversation with Greg CheesmanSupport the show

For decades, Australians have been denied the freedoms and self-evident truths their nation was founded upon. While a parade of political dinosaurs, claim to be their defenders. But the problem runs deeper than politics. Selfishness and egocentricity are corroding our civic life just as collectivism and co-dependency sits on the other side of the pendulum. What does genuine responsible citizenship look like and who's standing in the way?A conversation with Sam BelfieldSupport the show

From Madonna and Cyndi Lauper to Lady Gaga and Kylie, some of the most fearless dressing the world has ever seen have influenced fashion for decades. So why did menswear come away from it all in navy and grey? Daniel Montgomerie takes us back to fashion's greatest decade-defining moments to explore what men could and would look like, with a little colour and a lot of fun.A conversation with Daniel MontgomerieSupport the show

You can't make this stuff up. $50 billion a year. That's 50 million thousands in the hands of anyone willing to sell a sibling, son or mate, while the genuinely needy miss out.A conversation with Peter Richardson.Support the show

Islam doesn't whisper its intentions — it broadcasts them. But the doctrine of Taqiyya, the sanctioned use of deception in service of expanding the Islamic world, has many thinking otherwise. To understand the Middle East, stop listening to the narratives and start reading the text.A conversation with Dr. IsaacSupport the show

As Australia's Muslim population grows where does the compatibility of certain Islamic legal rulings fit with Australian law and values. Some of the most controversial fatwas and practices include the legality of child marriage, the role of women in arranging marriages for their daughters, and a deeply divisive ruling from a number of sheikhs permitting sexual acts between male fighters during jihad. What does this mean for the future of Australia?A conversation with Dr IsaacSupport the show

Five years on, the COVID cover-up is finally cracking open and someone is going to pay for it. Fauci's right-hand man has been indicted. And the man at the top? He got pardoned before a single charge could be filed. Is the truth about Wuhan  finally catching up with the people who buried it?Support the show

Energy isn't mentioned  in the Australian Constitution, yet Australia has a national electricity market with national rules and national regulators. The secret is in one state taking the lead, the others mirror its legislation, all of which include a clause to give the Commonwealth power over power and energy. In the case of energy, South Australia is lighting the way.A conversation with Mike Holt.Support the show

Zohran Mamdani swept into office promising a new New York, but is Zohran Mamdani's vision of government actually what citizens thought?  Critics say his brand of progressive governance is less about lifting people up and more about another agenda. Is he leading New Yorkers or creating a state of co-dependency?A conversation with Lawrence RogakSupport the show

The major parties have had decades to get it right, and they haven't. In a system so captured by vested interests and career politicians, could voting for Pauline Hanson be a rational act of protest? Not because you agree with everything she says, but because disruption has a value of its own. Mike Holt recommends a "spoiler vote," and what it will ultimately achieve for Australia. One Nation's presence can force an overthrow of a duopoly we have suffered for more than 100 years. A conversation with Mike HoltSupport the show

They left Australia to join one of the most brutal terrorist organisations in modern history. They watched, and in some cases supported beheadings, slavery, and mass murder. Now the Albanese government is rolling out the welcome mat. The women who left made a choice. Who's making the choices now, and are they making them for Australia or ISIS?Support the show

What happens when the two biggest parties in Australian politics decide to write the rules in their own favour - and get caught? Liberal and Labor strategised and passed donation laws that capped donations for independent's and minor parties at just $1,084 per year, while leaving themselves free to rake in unlimited funds. The High Court has now ruled those laws unconstitutional. They should never have existed in the first place. Just how far Labor and Liberal will go includes misleading narrative on the Nepean by-election.And why is there a by-election? Because an elected Liberal member refused to keep working in a toxic environment. If you thought democracy was supposed to protect you, think again.A Conversation with Greg CheesmanSupport the show

The heroic leader who carries everything and asks for nothing is not sustainable and everyone in the school pays the price. Mentoring leaders is key for school leaders. Can reduction of compliance lead to more personalised leadership?A conversation with Brad Gaynor.Support the show

Beyond reasonable doubt. On the balance of probabilities. Two standards of proof that underpin law, order and justice. Or do they? With two court systems, two standards of proof, One Evidence Act and whole lot of words with different interpretation, it's fair to say most of us know very little about the law.As the conversation unfolds, there is a moment - four words worth noting - "codified across the states." What does it mean? A key piece of the injustice puzzle that almost slipped past?Post recording, and a little more curiosity, another question came to mind. When parliament codifies evidence rules, does it hand significant power to the legislature to define what can and cannot be heard or admitted in court? And, another, 'If yes, is it fair to say that evidence is doctored?'A conversation that courageously flows into must-know territory and your own questions about the law.Support the show

Three assassination attempts in two years. Whatever your politics the cold calculation behind those who have decided that removing Donald Trump - by any means necessary is not just acceptable, but justified - should send rivers of fear through everyone in the western world. When the ends justify the means, the rule of law is the first casualty. And history tells us it is never the last.A conversation with Lawrence RogakSupport the show

It's 2026, and an estimated 50 million people around the world are living in conditions of modern slavery. Trapped in forced labor, debt bondage, forced marriage, and sex trafficking.While the world talks about globalism, climate catastrophes, human rights and DEI, one of humanity's darkest ongoing crimes is ignored. There is always much to learn from history, but in the case of slavery, the first place to begin is within ourselves.A conversation with Lawrence RogakSupport the show

UK independent schools can no longer rely on reputation alone. Yet most still struggle to answer the question every parent is really asking: why you, and not the school down the road?What do independent schools offer and what do they say they can actually offer? It's no longer about the league tables.Whether you're a parent weighing a significant financial commitment, or a school leader wondering why you're not converting - this one's for you.A conversation with Paul Dunstan.Support the show

It's one thing when a foreign government turns hostile. It's another when legal citizens, elected officials, and people whose ancestors built the USA start walking away from loyalty to the United States. A concerning and growing phenomenon of people who aren't rejecting America out of ignorance or malice, but deliberate choice.  A conversation with Sharon Rondeau.Support the show

A bill moving through parliament seeks to make ASIO's powers indefinite. No sunset clause, no expiry, no end date. But we have a long and legitimate tradition of lawful rebellion, of scrutinising, challenging and resisting laws that threaten the freedoms this country is built on. "What does this bill mean for ordinary Australians, and what does it look like to push back, lawfully, loudly and together?"A conversation with Mike HoltSupport the show

Reading got the wars. Writing got the leftovers. Cramming standards into an already overloaded curriculum has left almost no room for students to actually write. A conversation with Dr. Andy JohnsonSupport the show

Most principals are dedicated to their schools, their staff, and their students, no matter the pressure. But dedication alone isn't enough. With so many challenges facing school leaders, professional support isn't optional, it's essential.A conversation with Andrew CockSupport the show

Britain's independent school sector is in free fall. Since 2010, over 1,100 schools have closed and the pace is accelerating. VAT on fees, rising costs, and a co-dependency on international enrolments have pushed closures past 100 since January 2025, with some forecasts suggesting the sector could shrink from 7% of pupils to just 3%. For independent schools survival means charitable status, mergers, or acquisition. There's a solutions gap - correction - a solution being ignored.Support the show

The United Nations sells a vision of peace and unity, but its foundations tell a harsher story. Bankrolled by John D. Rockefeller Jr., its headquarters rose where a neighbourhood once stood, wiped away to make room for global power. Their language is peace but the reality is leverage, money, and influence concentrated at the highest levels. A conversation with Lawrence RogakSupport the show

Ben Roberts-Smith's story is unlike any in Australian military history. Decorated with the Victoria Cross, celebrated as a national hero, then  a defamation trial that first relied on 'balance of probabilities' to criminal charges he now faces. And, the deeper question: what does this means for the Australian Defence Force if this is how Australia treats its bravest soldiers. Who will be willing to serve?A conversation with Mike HoltSupport the show

Sex is biological. Gender is a social construct. And a defence force exists to win wars, not to serve as a platform for social experimentation. The Trump administration made decisive steps to restore clear, science-based definitions of male and female across federal policy, military readiness, standards, and cohesion. Objective reality is non-negotiable. Isn't it? Straightforward and prepared for anything Lawrence and Cheryl are unafraid to say what many are thinking.A conversation with Lawrence RojakSupport the show

It's a question too many children are asking. What does relinquishment of the nuclear family, the replaceable role of fathers, and the narrative in schools tell us about what children need when dad isn't in the picture? What is society telling our children when being brave and masculine could be the first step toward arrest?A conversation with Peter Richardson.Support the show

The EA role in a school is unlike any other. Not a teacher, nor a general admin role, but absolutely central to everything.In this episode, we explore the unique identity, influence, and professional value of executive assistants in education, and why school leadership simply couldn't function without them.A conversation with Kristine NivanSupport the show

Martial law. Treason. When citizens arrest is blocked it exposes more than the fear. The determination for Australian's to take back the lucky country.  A conversation with Mike Holt.Support the show

Combat and first responder trauma   is costing the lives of those charged with saving the lives of others. 1 veteran died by suicide every week between 1997 and 2020. All while PTSD has become shorthand for a bad week at work. A conversation with Mark PavilachSupport the show

Tasmania has rolled out its literacy plan. A big budget and the kind of language that makes it very hard to argue against - explicit teaching, evidence-based practice, best practice frameworks. But what happens when the words we use  so accepted, so unquestioned, that teachers stop thinking and stay comfortable with being handed the answers?Critical thinking isn't just a skill we should be teaching kids. It's a professional obligation teachers owe to the system itself.And, the uncomfortable question: in a culture that praises teachers for working hard and showing up, are we trading accountability for applause? Good intentions don't teach children to read. Critical professionals do.A conversation with Simon MatthewsSupport the show

Money laundering, fraud, and misappropriation quietly bleeding school districts dry, and the political earthquake of Donald Trump's dismantling of the federal Department of Education. Should unions be in panic mode?  A conversation with Lawrence RogakSupport the show

Freeman, - sovereign citizen nutter and cop murderer! Or Freeman, - brave advocate for truth and justice. My sources say the day 10 police officers arrived on his property with a search warrant, was a day involving Dan Andrews and treason. Mainstream media says he was an alleged child-sex abuser. Australia's biggest ever manhunt, spanning over 200 days has come to an end. Seeking the truth has just begun.  Support the show

When teachers go on strike all manner of issues come to the fore. The home-partnerships vanishes, the state says and does as it pleases and the Commonwealth stays true to form - they're only in education for the money. There couldn't be a better time for parents, grandparents and educators to know and understand the law. A conversation with Andrew DalgleishSupport the show

There's a difference between being governed and being controlled, and most Australians have never been taught to see it.  Civic education isn't taught in schools. Our political class are the authors and beneficiaries of an uneducated and disengaged public. Dedicated educators hold the key to breaking a cycle of systemic manipulation that thrives on our ignorance. Are you one?A Conversation with Sam MuscatSupport the show

Political choice doesn't exist in Australia. It literally means picking between two dominant forces. Our current the system breeds backroom deals, narrow thinking, and a disconnect from all Australians - other than the political class - the winners even if they lose an election. So what could replacing it do? Could a different model unlock greater freedom, representation, and trust?You better believe it. A conversation with Mike Holt.Support the show

Independent schools are rich in history—but under real pressure. Fees are rising beyond reach, parents are squeezed, and teachers are leaving in droves. With a growing recruitment crisis, shifting attitudes, and a profession losing status, something isn’t working. Can the sector rethink, reinvent, and recover—or is it running out of time?A conversation with Christine CunniffeeSupport the show

In a world of rapid change and possibility, President Donald Trump takes a different leadership path to what the world has learned to expect and accept.Trump’s approach to Iran, for instance, is forcing a new kind of accountability on the global stage. Where are the US allies? Who is advocating peace? What's behind the obvious - it's not just about oil?Trump supporters see a leader willing to take risks, avoid unnecessary conflict, negotiate and redefine the Free World by a new kind of dialogue and strength.They see strength, sprinkled with deliberate confusion to disguise bold decisive action. On your mark. Get set. Trump.A conversation with Lawrence RogakSupport the show

 The realities of Australia’s governance are hitting us hard. Stuck in the two party loop - a pseudo socialist norm. Are we starting to wake up? Do Australians actually have a way out, or are we locked into the two-party cycle by design?A conversation with Peter RichardsonSupport the show

Australia is being controlled by a cabal.  And, heaven help ups if food and fuel shortages continue. And, chances are, they will. Why? State governments are making decisions about national security, something the Constitution says is strictly Federal business? How is this allowed to happen? Your local MP is driven by a constitution that matters more than Australia's? A not to be missed conversation with Mike Holt. Support the show

What happens when a single government minister holds the power to arrest you, or bar you from returning to your own country. Not for a crime, but for a conversation? Australia's hate speech laws and the sweeping ministerial discretion buried inside legislation gives one person extraordinary control over who gets to speak, who gets to stay, and who gets to come home. When does protecting people from harmful speech cross the line into protecting the powerful from uncomfortable ideas? Whether you're left, right, or not quite sure...this one's for you.A conversation with James GlissanSupport the show
