About this listen

In this episode, we examine the United States’ bombing of Iranian nuclear sites and Australia’s delayed yet predictable support, driven by hollow “alliance obligations” rhetoric. We unpack the media’s biased framing of “Iranian aggression”, the ABC’s platforming of compromised figures like Scott Morrison and Mike Pezzullo, and question whether Penny Wong has abandoned Australia’s national interest. We also probe the illusion of a “rules-based order”, bipartisan hypocrisy on AUKUS and Pine Gap, and the creeping complacency within Labor’s post-2025 majority. Plus, we cover Antoinette Lattouf’s Federal Court victory against the ABC and the continuing influence of the Israel lobby on Australian public discourse.
