Podcast appearances and mentions of Basil Zempilas

In this episode, we're joined by the Leader of the Opposition in Western Australia, Liberal Party candidate Basil Zempilas. We dive into the tough terrain of modern politics—cutting through slander, avoiding personal attacks, and leading with authenticity. Basil opens up about his journey from the footy field to the media spotlight and now into political leadership. We discuss transparency around political donations, the influence of the mining and resources sector, and how being a father is shaping his perspective on cost of living and the future of WA. A refreshingly open chat about mistakes, growth, and what it really means to lead.PATREON Support The Hard Yarns and get access to exclusive drops, content, live shows and promo codes : www.patreon.com/thehardyarnspodcast FIND US Email: info@thehardyarns.com Instagram: @thehardyarnspodcast TikTok: @thehardyarnspodcast Web: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.thehardyarns.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ SPONSORS All Trades Cover - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.alltradescover.com.au⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Crafted Finance - https://www.craftedfinance.com.auHard Yarns is Produced by B32media ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠#hardyarns⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠#podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠#comedy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

On today's episode of At Close of Business, political editor Gary Adshead details his recent, wide-ranging discussion with Basil Zempilas, and answers whether Perth's lord mayor is considering a tilt at state politics.

Perth's lord mayor Basil Zempilas raised the "cringeworthy" idea of the crowd at the AFL Grand Final applauding Australia for the great work we've all done during Covid. Roy & HG came up with a better one. How bout AFL fans torching their underwear and place the burnt remains in an urn the shape of Basil's head, mounted to the AFL trophy.

Day 4 is here, and we're already in the bad books with the IOC. But who cares, because how good's a relay gold with no subsequent commercial impact?Even though they'll never see a corpie, our 4x100m relay golden girls crushed the Americans on the way to gold. But was it enough to satiate our collective appetite for medals? And how much of this undue pressure can we shift on to the shoulders of Ariarne Titmus?For those unaware, she's the girl from the Harvey Norman ads. Not only do we badly need her to trump evil American Katie Ledecky, but Gerry Harvey does too. Can she bring it home for the whitegoods tsar after a gruelling year without JobKeeper?Whether or not she salutes, at least Channel 7 will routinely remind us about the AFL. Apparently it's a new Olympic sport now along with netball, mainly because Patrick Dangerfield said so.Better yet, we've got Basil Zempilas, one bloke with a truckload of Insta followers in K-Mart youth clobber, and Dean Capobianco just listed his Clovelly home - and it's all set against the backdrop of Japanese efficiency and the ferocious delta strain.Audio production courtesy of Tim ‘T-Dog' Eldridge.
