GUEST 1 OVERVIEW: Cory Bernardi is the author of seven books and has been a member of the Australian rowing team, a publican, an investment portfolio manager and spent nearly 14 years as an Australian Senator. X: @corybernardi   GUEST 2 OVERVIEW: Joel Jammal is an Australian independent journalist and political commentator.

In this special ‘bonus' series of What's Not Priced In, I look at the cost and implications of Australia's energy transition from an economic and political perspective. In general, this transition is blindly accepted as being inevitable, but there are few discussions around what it actually means and whether it makes sense or is even possible to shift to a renewables only economy. In this episode, I talk to Rob Parker, founder of Nuclear for Climate Australia. Rob uses the example of Ontario, Canada, as a model for Australia. The province has significant nuclear energy, no coal, and lower retail electricity costs than Australia. It's an enlightening conversation and one you certainly won't hear in the mainstream media.

Cory Bernardi is a former senator for South Australia and host of the weekly Sky News program ‘Bernardi'. He founded the Australian Conservatives party in 2017 after leaving the Liberal Party and is the author of the book ‘The Conservative Revolution'. Bernardi is well known for his unapologetic, common-sense conservatism and boldness in defending traditional values. He regularly discusses topics ranging from Net Zero to the rise of wokeness and intersectional ideology. In this episode of BASED, Antic and Bernardi discuss the rise of big business and government, leftism, and “conspiracy theories.”

We're putting a bow on the 2022 run of London Calling as James and Toby compare the respective sizes of their Christmas trees, the parties and dinners they've been to in the run-up to the holidays, and their favourite Christmas movies. In the news we cover Jeremy Clarkson's Game of Thrones fantasy about Meghan Markle, whether climate activists believe in their own rhetoric or are just using global warming as an excuse to take away our liberty, and then we put on turbans, fire up the crystal ball and try to divine what 2023 has in store for us. In Culture Corner, the critical reception for Avatar: The Way of Water, whether James Cameron is ‘woke' or ‘awake', the unsatisfying last episode of Tokyo Vice, the gripping Volcano: Rescue from Whakaari (Netflix) and The English, a slightly odd series on the BBC starring Emily Blunt (available on Amazon Prime in the US) which Toby intends to persevere with between Christmas and New Year. And finally, how they both intend to spend Boxing Day (hunting for James, football for Toby). We'll see you all on January 2, 2023 and thanks for spending time with us every week.

This week it has been culture war issues dominating the news cycle. Joining me to discuss all of it is once again Senior Editor of The Unshackled Damien Ferri. Former rugby player Israel Folau last Friday opened up a GoFundMe page to fund his legal challenge against Rugby Australia for terminating his playing contract. This attracted a fair bit on controversy given that he has a property portfolio worth $7 million. On Monday morning, GoFundMe pulled Folau's page for violating their terms of service. The Australian Christian Lobby has restarted the legal fund and already raised over $1 million in less than 24 hours. The escalation of emotion around this issue has increased with freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of association and corporate power being hotly debated. Cory Bernardi announced he was planning to deregister his Australian Conservatives party after their poor performance at the federal election. He claims the party is no longer needed because Scott Morrison is a good conservative Prime Minister. A lot of his former members and supporters would beg to differ with that view are vowing to relaunch a new proper conservative party very soon to offer a real alternative to the Australian voters. There has also been change in Fred Nile's Christian Democratic Party with 18 year old Samraat Joshua Grewal assisted by 22 year old Joel Jammal removing the party's state executive in an effort to renew the party after they failed to have their state MLC re-elected at the NSW state election. Damien also gives us a report on the True Blue Crew Aussie Pride Solidarity March at Penrith in Sydney last Saturday. Around 30 patriots attended with Ricky Turner the special guest speaker. It was a low turnout but with most patriot groups banned from Facebook advertising these events is much more difficult.

Show Description: In another Wednesday night live episode of the show I go through the major news developments of the week with Senior Editor of The Unshackled Damien Ferri. Internationally protests in Hong Kong against the introduction of an extradition bill which could see its citizens subjected to the Chinese legal system have been successful in halting the bill, a rare defeat for the People's Republic of China. The social justice AFL took things too far this week with their behavioral awareness officers policing fans in the crowd. It is just another overreach into social life that the AFL has embarked on. The fans this week make it clear they'd had enough. Adani protestors are deciding to be even more annoying by gluing themselves to a road in the Brisbane CBD. They are giving the vegan activists a run for their money. Cory Bernardi has said he is open to rejoining the Liberal Party and they are open to having him back. It would be a massive admission of political failure if Bernardi were to do this after leaving to start Australian Conservatives. In Progressive Victoria, voluntary euthanasia has come into effect. Despite Premier Daniel Andrews claiming it is the strictest law anywhere in the world many pro-life activists still have concerns about allowing state-sanctioned killing. Also in Progressive Victoria they proposing laws to introduce gender fluid birth certificate as transgenders or others no longer need surgery to change their gender to whatever they like as long as it's not obscene or offensive. Westpac has decided to close the bank account of patriot activist Blair Cottrell, in a further escalation of the deplatforming of right-wing figures. He had already been banned from PayPal. It is suspected his account was closed due to his appeal against his blasphemy conviction.

There are still a few weeks left to run in the same-sex marriage postal ballot campaign, and millions of votes are yet to be returned – or not returned. With 67.5% of ballots now in, Equality Campaign executive director Tiernan Brady says the high turnout shows the importance of a “yes” vote to people's lives and dignity. He says tyranny of distance in Australia has made campaigning difficult, compared to his experience during Ireland's marriage referendum. Despite criticism of what some saw as invasive tactics, Brady describes the efforts made by the “yes” campaign as largely positive and respectful. However, he admits there have been unfortunate incidents and “clowns” on both sides, but that they were largely “on the fringe”. On the “no” side, Australian Conservatives senator Cory Bernardi is unwilling to concede defeat. He praises the “grassroots movement” and “rockstar” mums and dads. On the Abbott factor, he says high-profile “no” voters have been “very effective”. If the “yes” vote wins, Bernardi foresees a few contentious debates over protections for religious freedoms and freedom of speech. “If the government is serious … they won't embrace the [Liberal senator Dean] Smith bill.” Bernardi's party has benefited somewhat from the same-sex marriage debate: he estimates his party now has the third-largest membership in Australia.

A day after moving to the crossbench, senator Cory Bernardi is feeling the heat. The media, former Liberal colleagues and South Australian voters all have a view on what he's done. "People will say what they're going to say. And I've tried to be consistent. I've been accused of many things in my time in politics but I've looked to be consistent and principled in my approach to policy areas. "Strangely, many of the people calling me an opportunist are the ones that exploit, you know, a momentary weakness to grasp power or influence, or promotion for themselves," Bernardi says. A lot of the people who look favourably on his decision: "are disillusioned Liberal Party sympathisers that said 'I couldn't bring myself to vote for the Liberal Party at the last election' or 'I wasn't intending to vote for them but at least now I can give you my vote knowing that our values will be upheld.'" As interest focuses on whether billionaire businesswoman Gina Rinehart will donate to the Australian Conservatives, Bernardi leaves the door open. "Gina's a pal and I never ask my pals for money directly. If people want to offer support or resources to what I'm doing then I wait for them to raise it. And there's a reason for that. It's because, you know, friendship is valuable and I'm not prepared to put people in an uncomfortable position if that's not what they want to do." "It's an enduring friendship. I have great admiration for her [Rinehart]. You know, she's a very private person and I like my private life to remain private too and we're friends," he says. ___ _Music credit: "Albiero A", by Dlay on the Free Music Archive_

At the beginning of the parliamentary year, the government is beleaguered on several fronts. But Arthur Sinodinos, one of the Coalition's most experienced operators and the newly appointed minister for industry, innovation and science, is determined to be optimistic. “You can't rule any possibilities out, including the possibility that the government actually goes from strength to strength as we go forward,” Sinodinos says. “Yes, there are testing headwinds, including the international environment, but we're going to be very keen to prosecute the case for economic growth, for jobs, for why international trade is a good thing for everybody, not just one country.” Speaking with Michelle Grattan on the day of senator Cory Bernardi's exit from the Liberal Party, Sinodinos has a sharp observation for his former colleague. “What I'd say to senator Bernardi is that if you want to influence the party, you've got to be inside the party. You can't do it from outside.” Assessing Bernardi's prospects as a force outside the Liberals, Sinodinos says “we'll wait and see what happens”. “But he's got some pretty formidable players out there, like Pauline Hanson, who has a very high profile and a lot of street cred as an outsider.” “I would expect on most things that he would support Coalition policy. He was actually elected on a Coalition platform and I think if he's going to keep faith with those voters, he should support Coalition positions.”
