How did One Nation become so popular? And could Pauline Hanson become the Prime Minister?Pauline Hanson's One Nation party has overtaken Labor to become Australia's most popular political party - according to the latest Redbridge poll - published in the Australian Financial Review.

Josh Szeps joins us for a wide-ranging conversation about Israel, Gaza, antisemitism, Zionism, Jewish identity and why the debate has become so exhausting and distorted. We talk about whether Jews outside Israel are being forced to answer for the Israeli government, what anti-Zionism really means, the failure of the peace process, Netanyahu, Gaza, drones, Palestinian leadership, the pressure to “circle the wagons,” and whether it is possible to criticize Israel without giving ammunition to people who hate Jews. Josh Szeps hosts one of the biggest shows on Substack, Uncomfortable Conversations with Josh Szeps, where he has funny, bullshit-free conversations with people like Sam Harris, Jimmy Carr, Bari Weiss and Mark Normand about subjects that the mainstream media fails to discuss honestly. He has been on Joe Rogan's show seven times, he was a founding host of HuffPost Live in New York, then went on to get cancelled from his own top-rating talk radio show on Australia's national public broadcaster. He's a columnist for Australia's most prestigious newspaper, the Australian Financial Review, and a major media figure Down Under. https://x.com/joshzepps?lang=en https://uncomfortableconversations.substack.com/about Chapters: 00:00 Intro and Josh Szeps joins the show 03:06 Josh's background, Australia, and his previous Israel controversy 07:12 Jokes, parenting, kids, porn and the internet 12:59 Antisemitism, Australia, and the post-October 7th climate 15:36 Anti-Zionism, Israel's legitimacy, and the meaning of a Jewish state 22:07 Palestinian refugees, Arab countries, and the right of return 27:26 Gaza, drones, October 7th, and whether Israel had another choice 30:29 Josh's controversial “abandon Israel” column 38:16 Circling the wagons, Jewish identity, and criticizing Israel from the diaspora 47:58 Anti-Israel backlash, boycotts, and Jews being blamed for Israel 54:16 Kristof, the dog allegations, and the difficulty of discussing ugly claims honestly 01:08:35 The flotilla, Israeli detention, and skepticism toward activist claims 01:11:23 War crimes, double standards, history, and modern technology 01:13:05 Uyghurs, Kurds, ethno-states, and why Israel gets singled out 01:17:00 Media collapse, audience capture, and trying to have sane conversations 01:18:29 Finkelstein, complexity, and final thoughts

Have you ever gone through a really tough time… and wondered how you could ever come back from it - let alone use it to help others? In this episode of It's a Mindset, I'm joined by Graeme Cowan - resilience expert, professional speaker, Board Director of R U OK?, and author of five books, including his latest, Great Leaders Care. Graeme shares his deeply personal story of experiencing a five-year episode of depression - a period his psychiatrist described as one of the most severe he had ever treated. What emerged from that time is not only a powerful story of recovery, but a mission to help others build resilience, improve wellbeing, and create meaningful change through conversation. Drawing on the insights behind Great Leaders Care, Graeme explores what it really means to lead with empathy, create psychologically safe environments, and support the people around us - whether at work, at home, or in our wider communities. Together, we explore how Graeme turned one of the most challenging periods of his life into a way to support others - particularly leaders - to create safer, more connected environments where people feel seen, heard, and supported. I was incredibly moved by Graeme's vulnerability in sharing his story, and how he has transformed that experience into something so impactful. It's a beautiful reminder that even in our hardest moments, there is the potential for growth, meaning, and contribution. This conversation highlights just how powerful a simple conversation can be - and how it can quite literally change a life. Key Episode Takeaways: How Graeme turned his personal experience of breakdown into a mission to support others Why great leaders prioritise care and create psychologically safe environments The power of humility in creating authentic connection and trust How one meaningful conversation can have the potential to change a life About the Guest: Graeme Cowan is a resilience expert, professional speaker and Board Director of R U OK?, where he has seen firsthand how simple conversations can lead to meaningful change. With a background in senior leadership roles at Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer and AT Kearney, Graeme's work today is deeply shaped by his own lived experience. In 2000, he went through a five-year episode of severe depression — a period his psychiatrist described as one of the most challenging he had ever treated. From that experience, Graeme developed a powerful new perspective on resilience, wellbeing and performance, which now underpins his work with leaders and organisations around the world. He is the author of five books, including the internationally acclaimed Back From the Brink, and his latest, Great Leaders Care, which explores how empathy and care can transform leadership and workplace culture. Graeme has been described by the Australian Financial Review as a “resilience expert”, and is known for his authentic, relevant and thought-provoking style. Based in Sydney near Lane Cove National Park, Graeme enjoys spending time in nature, connecting with family and friends, and sharing ideas that spark conversations — because he believes those conversations have the power to change lives.

Chris Joye is one of the most influential voices in Australian finance — a fund manager, economist, public policy thinker, and weekly Australian Financial Review columnist. In this conversation, Joye delivers his starkest warnings yet about Australia's economic future. He explains why the Reserve Bank's humiliating policy reversals have set us up for a multi-year recession, how record immigration and government spending have created an inflation crisis , and why we're heading for the worst property downturn since 1991. Joye also dissects Trump's economic revolution in America and reveals why Australia risks becoming "Asia's Ibiza" unless we fundamentally change course.

RampartThe Chairman's LoungeCurious Worldview Substack*Leave a review on Apple or Spotify* (nothing does more to help grow the show)Podcast Starter PacksInvestigative JournalistsOffshore Finance/Kleptocracy & Money LaunderingGeopolitics/Economics/Economic DevelopmentExplorers & Adventurers---Who is Joe Aston?For my Australian audience, you'll likely know him from his debut book The Chairman's Lounge, a forensic and damning account of Qantas. But for anyone international, put simply, Joe is among Australia's most consequential journalists.He took over the Australian Financial Review's Rear Window column at just 28, and across a twelve-year tenure transformed it into the most anticipated daily column in Australian business and politics. His former editor called it journalism "like never before seen in Australia and arguably the world." Joe's reporting contributed to the downfall of the CPA Australia CEO and board, the resignation of Rio Tinto's chairman, Alan Joyce's early exit from Qantas, and a long list of uncomfortable reckoning in between.In and amongst the many themes that this podcast covers, the most consistent among them has been journalism and good journalists. And I say that because I think I caught Joe at an interesting juncture in his life. In the last twelve months Joe's gone independent. Leaving the security of the AFR to launch his own media company, Rampart. The work is the same. Breaking the stories from business and politics that his readers have come to expect, but the model is new, and it puts Joe in unfamiliar territory as an entrepreneur which I think is another example of how media business models are being re-cast, and indicative of the direction the best talent is heading towards. We recorded this about ten months into the Rampart journey. We cover his influences, his early years in PR, his personal battles, Rampart and throughout it all, what Joe judges to be, good journalism. Timestamps with Joe Aston00:00 Introduction To Joe02:06 Joe's Influences08:01 Alcoholism14:54 From The Rear Window To Rampart33:59 Journalistic Courage and Ethical Boundaries44:04 Lessons from PR and Corporate Life54:49 Goals for Rampart and Future Media Innovation01:08:06 Serendipity

After the Reserve Bank's first rate hike in more than two years, Guardian Australia's political editor, Tom McIlroy, speaks to the economics editor, Patrick Commins, and Lea Jurkovic, the economics correspondent at the Australian Financial Review, about the indicators that informed the central bank's decision this week.

Peter Quarry studied psychology at Melbourne University in the mid-1970s. He worked initially as a counsellor of the unemployed, then pivoted to public speaking, workshop facilitation and content creation. In the 1980s, he co-founded Ash Quarry Productions and became the on-screen expert presenter of corporate training videos that, over the next two decades, gained global recognition. His work was translated into multiple languages and won dozens of international awards. By the early 1990s, Peter was invited to appear on ‘Good Morning Australia', where he secured a regular slot as the sometimes fun, sometimes serious, ‘Resident Psychologist', answering viewers' letters. In 2021, his debut book, If I Were You – A psychologist puts himself on the couch, was published. He is a regular contributor of psychology-related articles for major Australian newspapers, including the Sydney Morning Herald and the Australian Financial Review. He is currently writing a new book exploring death anxiety - and how to overcome it. peterquarry.com

For our first Small Talk of the year, we’re joined by award winning journalist Jan Fran, now also the co-founder of Ette Media alongside Antoinette Latouff - for a big, messy, start-of-year powwow about where things are headed in 2026. To kick off I’ve pulled together a few predictions from Vogue Business, Australian Financial Review, The New York Times and Reuters, and put them all on the table. From lifestyle shifts (are dumb phones about to make a comeback?) to how we’ll consume media, escapism, changes in journalism to Chat GPT boyfriends. It’s not science or a crystal ball. It is a much needed powwow before a year that already feels… a lot (and it’s only January).

David Tudehope left the finance world in the early 1990’s with a dream to service small to medium business who complained of poor service and overcharging by the monopolist at the time, Telstra. Tudehope wasn’t a digital expert nor a highly trained computer engineer. But he understood numbers, and that customers wanted good service, not delays and obfuscation. So he had his brother Aidan started a small business they called Macquarie Telecom, back in 1992, with only the savings the pair could scrounge up, and forged headlong into the ultimately capital-intensive telco space. This is long before the internet and smart mobile phones. But they took on the slow-to-change Telstra and stuck to their mission of offering better customer service and cheaper prices to the business customer. In just over 3 decades they’ve built (now named) Macquarie Technology Group into one of the Top 300 listed companies in Australia, with a market capitalisation of over $1.5 billon, offering major clients like the ATO, Officeworks and PayPal still telecom, but now cloud-based, cyber security services as well as massive investments in data centres to support the boom in AI. David appeared on the Australian Financial Review’s Rich List 2024 alongside brother Aidan with an estimated net worth of over $900 million.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In our final episode for 2025, political editor Tom McIlroy speaks with Melissa Clarke from ABC RN Breakfast and Michael Read from the Australian Financial Review. The press gallery colleagues discuss the prime minister's performance and his seemingly mild ambition for bold reform, and assess the government's diplomatic balancing act of maintaining relations with the US president, Donald Trump. They also share their political predictions for 2026 – including the future of Sussan Ley's leadership, the ministers they will be watching closely and the policies that will resonate the most with voters

Earlier this year at the annual Society of Construction Law Australia conference in Brisbane, we caught up with panellists and moderators from around Australia to discuss the biggest issues in the industry today. Mia Timpano is a former journalist and final-year law student who describes herself as a “construction law enthusiast”.Harris Ashton is a Legal Research Officer at VCAT and the winner of the 2024 student Brooking Prize for his paper ‘Illegality and Quantum Meruit in Residential Construction Law.’ Michael Bleby is the Deputy Property Editor at The Australian Financial Review and has written extensively about property and construction for more than a decade. In this episode, Mia discusses how lawyers can incorporate AI into their workflows to work smarter without compromising the fundamental skills necessary for success. Harris explains how illegal contracts leave homeowners vulnerable in the event of problems and what needs to be done to prevent people from agreeing to dodgy deals. Finally, Michael shares his thoughts about how to deliver the necessary infrastructure for the 2032 Brisbane Olympics.

Former Victorian Premier Dan Andrews made headlines when he was snapped in a picture with Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un, amongst others, at China's recent military parade. While Andrews' activities were puzzling, they also raise bigger questions around both the opportunities and the limits of Australia's bilateral relationship with China. Will Glasgow, The Australian newspaper's North Asia Correspondent, based in Beijing, joins Darren for this episode. Will is winner of the Keith McDonald Award for Business Journalist of the Year and previously worked at The Australian Financial Review. The conversation begins with Will's own story in his current role, beginning in Beijing in early 2020, then leaving China and reporting from Taipei, before returning to Beijing in 2024.

The amazing Dr. Vanessa Pirotta joins us from Sydney, Australia to take us into the wet and wild thought experiment, so we can learn real science! Imagine living the life of the whale, turned on it's head. What world would we have built if our bodies worked this way? It's like what if we emerged from the oceans, as we believe life did, but never adapted to breathing outside the water like we used to. Humans with gills? Are we wearing helmets on our head that are filled with water? Do we fill our *buildings* with water? Water the IF! — Dr. Pirotta is a wildlife scientist and a gifted science communicator. Her zoological background has taken her around the world for wildlife research. Vanessa is also a passionate and experienced science communicator who loves making science accessible.

Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Hayden Crack, the hardest thing in growing a small business is: "Wearing all the hats — knowing when to let go, when to hire, and balancing reactive versus proactive decisions. It's tough to get the timing right, especially when transitioning roles and responsibilities." What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Hayden Crack mentioned he's not a massive reader, but he does regularly read the Australian Financial Review and finds value in that. He hasn't read many business books but was recommended The E-Myth during the episode. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Hayden Crack recommends a few valuable podcasts and learning resources for small business growth. He regularly listens to the Grow A Small Business Podcast for insights from fellow entrepreneurs, and enjoys 15 Minutes with the Boss by the Australian Financial Review for quick, impactful business tips. He also found the Lifestyle Tradie Podcast particularly inspiring, especially a story about a plumbing business that scaled to 17 team members and was eventually sold, highlighting the power of strong systems and minimal owner involvement. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Hayden Crack recommends that the most important tool for growing a small business is yourself—specifically, your mindset and willingness to learn. He highlights the value of investing in personal development, building a strong network, and surrounding yourself with experts like a great accountant or digital strategist. For Hayden, continuous learning, listening to podcasts, and having a trusted support network are key resources that drive sustainable growth. As he puts it, “You are the biggest tool—that's why it's your business.” What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? Hayden Crack's advice to his day-one self would be: “Just keep going.” He emphasizes the power of visualizing where you want to be, setting clear goals, and believing in your own capability. Early in his journey, he didn't think he could achieve what he has today, so he'd remind himself that everything is achievable with determination and the right mindset. Believing in himself sooner would have made a big difference. Book a 20-minute Growth Chat with Troy Trewin to see if you qualify for our upcoming course.

It's time to return to the news, and Stephen Dziedzic of the ABC returns to discuss three big stories that he's been reporting on in recent weeks. First, what is the impact of Donald Trump on the foreign policy community in Australia? How is the government managing the tariffs and numerous other controversies, and will this become an election issue? Is there ballast developing around a “plan B”? Second, a group of People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) warships circumnavigated Australia in February, causing quite a stir. And third, New Zealand and Cook Islands have been a tense relationship in recent months with the latter's relationship with Beijing central to the dispute.
