POPULARITY
Mike is joined by The Daily Telegraph columnist Piers Akerman, about his latest opinion piece that contrasts the extraordinary strength of World War II figures with today's avoidance of holding political leaders accountable. Addressing the delayed acknowledgment of the Greens' involvement in anti-Semitic activities amid pro-Palestinian protests, Mr Akerman's piece criticises Prime Minister Albanese's initial inaction and Labor MPs' reluctance, attributing it to fear of repercussions from Muslim electorates. He also highlights the Greens' support for pro-Palestinian actions and university leaders' compliance with activist demands.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
