Author and political commentator Gerard Henderson joins Jonathan for a conversation about B.A. Santamaria and the seminal political moments in Australia history that he was involved in. Drawing on his personal recollections of knowing and working with Santamaria, as well as the three books he has written on this "most unusual man," Gerard tells the story of communist influence in the trade union movement and Santamaria's efforts to combat it through "The Movement," the Labor Party split and Labor Party leader Bert Evatt's efforts to lay the blame at the feet of Santamaria and Victoria's catholics, the creation of the Democratic Labor Party, as well as the role of Archbishop Daniel Mannix and Santamaria as tribal Catholic leaders in an age of anti-Catholic sectarianism. Gerard Henderson is an author, columnist and political commentator. He is Executive Director of The Sydney Institute, a privately funded Australian current affairs forum, and author of Santamaria: A Most Unusual Man.

We're joined by James Clark of the Tomorrow Movement to discuss Joel Fitzgibbon and why he's on the side of fossil fuel billionaires, not the workers he claims to represent. Labor Platform The Labor party are holding the Special Platform Conference on the 30-31st March 2021. Labor takes lots of money from the fossil fuel industry. Fire Joel Fitzgibbon Joel Fitzgibbon’s brother Mark is the head of health insurer NIB, and in 2009 used Joel’s ministerial office to lobby the ADF to buy insurance. Mark Fitzgibbon has also lobbied for the scrapping of Medicare, and allowing private insurers access to medical records. Joel Fitzgibbon was a key figure in destabilising Julia Gillard’s leadership. He also believes someone earning $250,000 a year isn’t wealthy. During the 2019 bushfires in Australia, Fitzgibbon met with Matt Canavan and the CEO of the World Coal Association, then wrote an Op Ed saying people shouldn’t be upset at him because there’s a crisis on. Fitzgibbon has joined Craig Kelly’s “friends of coal” group. Joel Fitzgibbon formed the conservative Labor OTIS group, and lobbied for Labor to drop climate targets from their platform. He also attended a cocktail party with BHP, Chevron, Coal21, ENI and Exxon. Brain-worm host Gerard Henderson wrote a conservative media “Watch Dog” blog in the voice of his dog for the Sydney Institute. Joel Fitzgibbon thinks that Labor party should take cues from the Liberals and John Howard. Actions Sign the petition to kick Joel Fitzgibbon out.

Looking back at the shock election result, Gerard Henderson says it's no wonder the media got it so wrong. Despite the forecast by the academics, the polls and the pundits, there is no substitute for 'staying in touch' with the voting public. Will May 18 go down as the most dramatic failure of political prediction? Gerard Henderson, author, columnist for The Australian and executive director of the Sydney Institute. WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT 70 years after the establishment of NATO, the threat that justified its creation has long gone. Wasn't the expansion that started 20 years ago, a dangerous idea?
