Podcast appearances and mentions of mike pezzullo

John speaks with Mike Pezzullo, former Secretary of Australia's Home Affairs Department (2017-2023), about the nation's historical resilience and current security challenges. They explore how Australia's early naval power deterred threats like German warships in WWI, yet today, the country faces a "real and present danger" from China's naval deployments, such as the recent task group in the Tasman Sea. Pezzullo warns that Australia's strategic sensibility has declined, leaving it vulnerable despite warnings from leaders like former Prime Minister Rudd in 2009. The conversation shifts to actionable solutions, emphasising the need for leadership to prioritise defence over social spending. Pezzullo suggests doubling maritime surveillance, investing in autonomous underwater drones, and fostering regional alliances to counter coercion without forcing nations to choose between the U.S. and China. He stresses that with political will, Australia can secure its freedom, drawing on past successes like economic reforms and border protection under leaders like former Prime Ministers Howard and Abbott. Michael Pezzullo is a former Australian public servant who served as Secretary of the Department of Home Affairs from 2017 until 2023. He was previously Secretary of the Department of Immigration and Border Protection, and Deputy Secretary of the Department of Defence. Michael has a BA (Hons) in History from Sydney University.

Mike Pezzullo says Beijing’s recent live-fire exercises were a test of Australia’s readiness and a signal of our vulnerabilities.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

3 - Mike Pezzullo and his grand concept of delusionalism by Australian Citizens Party

In this episode of the Defence Connect Podcast, Mike Pezzullo, principal author of the 2009 Defence White Paper and former secretary of the Department of Home Affairs, joins host Steve Kuper to unpack how the Australian Defence Force can meet the demands of the nation's uncertain security environment. The pair begin the podcast by looking at the alternative global order, including an emerging Eurasian bloc that is seeing North Korean troops deployed in Russia and BRICS' alternative financial system. They then examine geopolitical fractures between BRICS members and whether China is in an economic position to become a global hegemon. Pezzullo then analyses how Australia's force structure is designed to overcome low-level threats and why the country needs a new base level of Defence spending. Kuper and Pezzullo wrap up by discussing efficiencies in domestic manufacturing and how technology can expedite the production of large-scale naval assets.

Opposition Leader Peter Dutton stopped by for his regular chat with Ray to discuss the key issues and more impacting the nationSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The pair begin their discussion with a conversation about the ongoing hostilities in the South China Sea and the rapidly closing window of opportunity to prepare for the potential of great power conflict in our region. The pair also discuss: The measures Australia can take to rapidly expand our national defence capability ahead of a potential confrontation over Taiwan. The fallout of a conflict between the United States and the People's Republic of China and its long-term impact on the Indo-Pacific. Our initial predictions of what to expect over the next three years as President Xi Jinping's 2027 deadline approaches. Enjoy the podcast, The Defence Connect Team

Mike Pezzullo recently said that “the likelihood of conflict in this decade has been about 10 per cent, which is meaningful enough to plan for and indeed to be concerned about”. If Pezzullo's assessment is correct, that means there is a 90 per cent chance that conflict will not happen. What is Australia's plan for that (likely) scenario? This episode is about that 90% world, where Australia's relationship with China will still matter greatly, as Beijing's behaviour influences many of our interests, not just geopolitics and national security. How might Australia consider thinking about a cooperative agenda with the PRC? In the words of PM Albanese, his government's approach is to “co-operate with China where we can, disagree where we must and engage in our national interest”. Where can we cooperate, especially given the deep freeze in political relations that the two countries are only now climbing out of? What does engagement in the national interest mean given the extent to which China can affect many things we care about? Darren is joined in this conversation by Dr Paul Hubbard. Paul is trained as an economist, first joining the Australian Public Service in 2006, and was sent from there to the ANU as a Sir Roland Wilson PhD Scholar in 2014.  More recently, in his capacity as a National Government Fellow at the ANU, Paul led a small team to produce a report - "A Sustainable Economic Partnership for Australia and China" that was launched in May. The report proposes an agenda for how Canberra and Beijing can take their economic relationship forward, and the two discuss that in the context of the broader question of what it means to develop a cooperative agenda with China and how should we think about the constraints imposed by geopolitics on that work? Note: the report reflects the views of the ANU research team, and Paul's comments in this episode are in an unofficial capacity as an expert on the Chinese economy, and do not represent the views of the Australian Government or its agencies.

One of Australia's top-paid public servants has been accused of trying to pull the strings of senior federal politicians.  Texts from Mike Pezzullo, the secretary of Home Affairs, to a Liberal Party powerbroker appear to show a bureaucrat who wasn't adhering to his duty of impartiality.

The Home Affairs Secretary has stood down while an investigation is conducted into text messages he allegedly sent to a Liberal party powerbroker.

Mike Pezzullo, one of the nation's most powerful and controversial officials, stands aside.

The Globalists are close to installing their man Rishi Sunak as UK PM. The Globalists' idol Xi Jinping secures 5 more years in power. In Victoria Dan Andrews is returning state ownership of energy. That and the latest in US deep state persecutions on this week's Tim's News Explosion. PRC President Xi Jinping's won a third 5-year term at the 20th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party. In an apparent show of his new absolute power Xi Jinping ordered his predecessor Hu Jintao be physically removed from the Congress when the global media was invited in. Xi has vowed to continue China's covid zero policy whose latest victim is a 14-year-old girl who died alone in a quarantine camp. The most bizarre analysis of the CCP Congress came from the ABC's Stan Grant who said we need to understand whiteness to understand China. Rishi Sunak is on the brink of being anointed the new UK Conservative Leader and Prime Minister after Liz Truss resigned last Friday. Rishi would be the first non-Indigenous Brit to lead the UK, a fact you are not really allowed to talk about as Jerry from Lowestoft found out when he called Sangita Myska on LBC. Rishi's wife Akshata Murty is an Indian heiress and together they are wealthier than the Royal Family. She is a UK resident, not a citizen. They both held US Green cards while Rishi was Chancellor. The new leadership election rules state a Conservative MP must have 100 MPs to sign their nomination. Boris Johnson ruled out a run to take back his job which he lost in part by Rishi stabbing him in the back. The only stop Rishi candidate left is Penny Mordaunt. Rishi is the globalists' choice, he supports net zero, central bank digital currencies, and other globalist technocratic goals. UK culture like its government is also in a state of decay. On Channel 4's Friday Night Live show transwoman Jordan Gray stripped naked in front of a live studio audience and played the piano with her penis. She is a patron of Educate and Celebrate an LGBT inclusivity educator which trains workplaces and schools. The Sandy Hook families now want $2.75 trillion USD in damages which they hope will take Alex Jones off the air permanently. Ye has bought Parler after being suspended on Twitter, Piers Morgan conducted a 2 hour interview with Ye asking him to explain his Defcon 3 on Jewish people tweet. Ethan Klein had his YouTube channel suspended for hoping that if there was another Holocaust that Ben Shapiro gets gassed first. Last week the US CDC added the covid vaccines to children's immunization schedule which means that some states will mandate them for school children. The CDC Director Rochelle Walensky tested positive for covid shortly after receiving her bivalent vaccine. It has made the international news that the Australian Government is paying for the funerals of covid vaccine-induced deaths and providing compensation to those injured. Lidia Thorpe has decided to refer herself to Parliament's privileges committee as the fallout continues over her secret relationship with ex-Rebels MC bikie boss Dean Martin while on Parliament's Law Enforcement Committee. It has also been revealed Thorpe questioned the Home Affairs, Mike Pezzullo about the deportation status of a suspected member of the Rebels. Deputy Liberal Leader Sussan Ley appeared to slut shame Thorpe claiming she was in bed with bikies at night. If re-elected this November Dan Andrews will renationalize Victoria's energy market in order to achieve a 95% renewable energy target by 2035 and an 80% emissions reduction target. Federal Treasurer Jim Chalmers will deliver the Albanese Government's first mini-budget tomorrow night. On Wednesday the latest inflation numbers will be released. On Melbourne Cup next Tuesday the RBA will meet to raise interest rates again.Email: me@timwilms.comMessage: https://t.me/timwilms Wilms Front Links:Entropy: https://entropystream.live/app/wilmsfrontWebsite: http://timwilms.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/wilmsfrontMinds: https://www.minds.com/timwilmsGab: https://gab.com/timwilmsTelegram: https://t.me/wilmsfrontParler: https://parler.com/profile/timwilms/ Support the Show:Membership: http://www.theunshackled.net/membershipDonate: https://www.theunshackled.net/donate/Paypal: https://www.paypal.me/TheUnshackled Other Unshackled Productions:Trad Tasman Talk: https://www.theunshackled.net/ttt/Report From Tiger Mountain: http://reportfromtigermountain.com/ Other Unshackled Links:Website: https://www.theunshackled.netFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TUnshackledTwitter: https://twitter.com/Un_shackledGab: https://gab.ai/theunshackledTelegram: https://t.me/theunshackledMinds: https://www.minds.com/The_UnshackledMeWe: https://mewe.com/p/theunshackled Music and Graphics by James Fox HigginsVoice Over by Morgan MunroSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
