About this listen

 In this hard-hitting episode, we expose the Labor government’s climate betrayal through its approval of Woodside’s North West Shelf gas expansion, locking in emissions until 2070, while new coal and gas projects surge across Queensland and NSW. We question why Australia – despite being the world’s second-largest gas exporter – collects just $1.1 billion in resource taxes compared to Qatar’s $26 billion, and ask whether Labor’s environmental policies differ at all from the Coalition. We also look at the defection of Greens Senator Dorinda Cox to Labor, raising questions about party loyalty, political ethics, and Prime Minister Albanese’s double standards. And in foreign affairs, we dissect the US push for Australia to lift military spending to $100 billion per year to confront China, exposing the contradictions of trading with China while preparing for war against it, and ask whether Australia can ever chart an independent foreign policy path.
