IS AUSTRALIA ON A HIGHWAY TO HELL?CENSORSHIP, DIGITAL ID, IMMIGRATION & MORECOMMANDING THE NARRATIVE EPISODE 102Steven Tripp is joined by Adam Zahra and Richard Storch to discuss the Highway to Hell that Australia appears to be on under the leadership of Anthony Albanese and the Labor Party. In the recent Commanding the Narrative Feedback Survey, both Adam and Richard polled in the top 3 of most requested regular guests, so they are back on the show by ‘popular demand'. They detail their feelings of the Charlie Kirk assassination and what it might lead to going forward, before shifting to the ever-increasing attempts to censor the Australian public. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is then discussed and his announcement that UK workers will not be able to work without a Government approved Digital ID. The panel question whether Australia will go down a similar path. The mass immigration that is taking place in Europe is also highlighted, as the panel give their thoughts on what similar policies in Australia will means for us. Finally, Richard explains the Enneagram, which judges personality, and he gives his assessment on several of our leading politicians and their personality traits.

A senior US Senator says Australia's level of defence spending is much closer to 3% of GDP – if shipyards and other defence infrastructure is included.

Donald Trump pivots on Ukraine – after his friendly meeting with Vladimir Putin. He's dropped calls for a ceasefire and is now backing Russia's plan to end the war with a sweeping peace deal.It comes as Australia joins the UK, France and Canada in declaring Australia will recognise a Palestinian state.

"He has a sore head so God only knows what will happen." Trump has instigated a military and federal takeover of the city of Washington DC with a crackdown based on fictional crime figures, and threatened to do the same to other Democrat-led cities. A distraction from Epstein or a sign of things to come, or both? Meanwhile, plans for Trump and Putin to meet next week to divy up territory in Ukraine, without the input of Ukraine itself. Also discussing Gaza, delays on China tariffs, foreign aid, DOGE, and marriage equality back in the Supreme Court.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Acting Prime Minister Richard Marles has indicated he does not see recognition of a Palestinian state as encouraging Hamas. 

"You don't cover up this much not to have a cover-up." The Epstein saga continues as Ghislaine Maxwell is transferred to a minimum security prison following her apparent cooperation with the Trump administration and the Clintons are subpoenaed for a congressional probe. Meanwhile, Trump launches attacks on the Bureau of Labor Statistics after their numbers show his approach has crippled jobs growth. Also discussing ICE recruitment, Gaza occupation, Ukraine, and the Justice Department's pursuit of Trump's political enemies.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Australia now has some cover to follow the UK and France on a Palestinian state without fearing a backlash from the US.

There's a growing push from some politicians to scrap Australia's net zero targets, but what would that actually mean for our climate commitments and energy future?

The Prime Minister is back in the country for the resumption of parliament this week. He's in a commanding political position and we're about to see how he'll use it. 

“If not us, then who? And the answer is no one. So you kind of find the other gear that you didn't know you had and you just keep going no matter how hard it gets.”This week, Stephen Donnelly sat down for an exclusive with Lissie Ratcliff, former Chief of Staff to Daniel Andrews, for her first-ever public interview. With 14 years of experience in Labor government and opposition, Lissie shares her candid reflections on political strategy and communication, crisis management, and what it feels like to lose. From the key foundation stones that took Victorian Labor from opposition to government in 2014, to the relentless grind of implementing Victoria's Covid response (complete with 120 daily press conferences in a row), Lissie takes us behind the scenes of the three-peat election winning Andrews government in its most crucial moments.You may never have heard the name Lissie Ratcliff, but after this episode, you won't forget it. Mentioned in the episode:Abundance by Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson https://tr.ee/fgjAt9Support the showNew episodes every Friday.

What better way to celebrate our 300th episode than in front of a LIVE audience?Stephen Donnelly. Jessie McCrone, David Feeney,Benita Kolovos and Reed Fleming all bring their A-game - and a few iconic media grabs - to this celebration of Labor's cracking campaign and decisive victory.Between the witty repartee and a bit of tea-spilling from these campaign veterans, the live show panel covers key topics like:

Australia's defence chief has issued a very deliberate warning about the dangerous outlook facing Australia.

Donald Trump has flagged a further trade hit, hurting exporters and adding to global volatility. And the decision to green light the extension of a major gas project has raised questions about how climate targets will be met. Minister for Climate Change and Energy Chris Bowen joins David Speers on the Insiders couch.
