Government wanted to censor social media from all Australians . Australia is a money sucking environment that destroys humanity from our lives, taxes on taxes on taxes
Not irreverent? What about Issac Butterfield? He's got more than 2 million subscribers and he ain't no Hannah.
Why would brits want to move to Australia we have the same trouble with albo as they do with starma. We need to get to get rid of albo first he’s fucking over our country
This guy doesn’t speak for me, but I suppose everyone is entitled to there option.🤔
Having witnessed increased authoritarianism and the take over of 'woke' in Australian schools and universities I am disappointed in the path Australia has taken. In adopting these ideologies real issues are continually has not been addressed. Thus Australia is sinking fast in a sea of ignorance. As usual, everyday Australians are paying the price!
great discussion! so much to say...not now, thanks gents
January 26, 1788 was the First Fleet, not Captain Cook.
Australia has its issues for sure! But if you are Mr/Mrs middle income, Australia is still one of the best countries in the world, by far. Far better than UK (I’ve lived in both).
Great conversation thank you
I moved to Australia there is no housing. Food is so expensive. Our government stops us from many things that were never stopped in England. We have no rights.
A homogeneous society is a high trust society and therefore requires very little regulation. When a homogeneous society becomes a heterogeneous society in under 50 years, as Australia did, the trust is eroded and the government must step in to regulate it or risk that society collapsing into a pandemonium. Don't think trust has eroded? Ask yourself this... when was the last time you got into a taxi and didn't stress about being scammed by the driver? When was the last time a tradesman could do business with someone in Western Sydney and didn't require an airtight contract signed and at least half the money up front? People go on about nanny states... this is not 1960s Australia. You remove the regulation and you will see everything evaporate before your eyes and we will look like the decaying USA, UK and Western Europe very quickly.
Australias 2 moist famous cities are now completely unlivable
What hyperbolic bullshit! HOW are they "completely unliveable"?
Sunil, a classic traditional Australian name
Great interview. Shame you did not speak about UK and Australia energy policies. Maybe a follow up?
Wtf 😂
We still have our wit, but we have nit wits ruling Australia now, that seems to hate the nation and its people. We'll be voting them out asap!
24:54 people are leaving the major parties faster than you can run. Sadly, the system is geared towards corruption and the status quo.. both parties have had their worst results ever and it gets worse every day.
They are so scared of small parties and independents that the duopoly passed legislation against them. I always vote for the duopoly last and independents first, which is what they fear! :)
@@EveryoneWhoUsesThisTV Same.
22:29 idealogical. Green and woke agenda has captured many. The policies adopted are counter to the country folk need and the city people are too stupid or distracted to comprehend, most of them live in little escapist digital bubbles and know nothing of the real world or how things function.
19:12 policies for these issues? Lol. No, they just pass laws and ram them through with no debate and no community support or mandate or need… just following the plans of others. Most of them never make the news cycle and almost 99.99% of the population has no idea what or for who these programs exist for….
They both serve a purpose - 16:07 divide the people here. Make them view each other as opponents while ensuring people don’t look at who’s starting the fight through systems and structures morphed into weapons.
The problem is that intent has escaped us. Reason has left us for the sounds of most common. Group identity now rules the minds of man. People have forgotten what is, was… So called progress is the mechanism of our downfall. The progress isn’t designed for you… you are just the well to be siphoned - and simultaneously the river that feeds it, carving track through earth.
"opressive illiberal wokeism" what a nonsense cause. Its government capture by mining companies, murdock media and big bussines, and right wing law and order scares. Just look at who is putting the laws in. No-one realy takes notice of the unis, environmentalist, the UN etc. this is more rediculous culture wars stuff the neoliberals put out as a distraction while they exploit us. Just laughable.
Hey Brits don't listen to this dork, get on over here. Woke is going to be flushed down the toilet quicker in Aus than the UK. Elections this year.
No coincidence the same things are happening to Western countries, particularly among the Anglosphere, where similar laws and policies are being implemented in lockstep.
Australia is pushing Communism under the guise of Aboriginal movement. They are lacing the Aboriginals with Woke ideology and its the excuse to impose Agenda 21.
Interesting
5:00 Thank you Will. I’ve been saying this for so long. Our sacred culture is… booze, sport and a good time. We have had no hard lessons that seismically shape culture, like the US Revolutionary War or Civil War, the toll of WW2 on Russia, or the degradation suffered by the Chinese under the British opium trade. We roll over for anything.
Stuff gay communist Australia. A terrible place to live.
There were massive episodes of brutality during colonialism. Critics of colonialism carry on as if the pre-colonial situations for the natives, were all peace and prosperity. They were not.
I look with alarm at the TH-cam videos of what the government of UK is doing. In Australia, we have an even higher proportion of our population born elsewhere, but not quite so many Muslims yet. I am disgusted that our government has recently imported more than 2000 Gazans. There are 800,000 Muslims in Australia now.
We had 1.1 million people come here last year. At any given time there are about 25000 available rental properties across the country. We have a housing crisis that is being actively manufactured because a lot of the political class have a large investment property portfolio. More damand make my number go up. We should have a sovereign wealth fund not a trillion $ debt.
The post-war immigration from Europe was NOT multicultural. Apart from a few Muslims from the Balkans, nearly all were from Christian countries and western civilization. We copied democracy from the ancient Greeks and our language is riddled with Latin words.
Italians and Greeks mostly, either Catholic or Orthodox. They made up a huge proportion of the workers that built the houses Boomers grew up in.
@@bangthehankers1985 And market gardeners. The first wedding that I attended was my cousin marrying the son of a market gardener. They have a street named after them now.
@@chriswatson1698 that’s lovely to hear. Oh, my brother married a Balkan and yes, the huge community where I am are Muslim on paper but may as well be from western Europe. Good people.
Dutton waged a principled, well-orchestrated and well-articulated opposition against the The Voice referendum. He’s defeated the ALP’s legislation against free speech regulation. He’s a genuine culture warrior pragmatist.
He's also allied to the WEF & doesn't really value free speech for the masses.
During COVID, Western Australians were free to go where we liked - within Western Australia. We had only 6 weeks of lockdown, because our Premier kept everyone else out. We read and listened on the news about the restrictions that people in the eastern states were enduring, thankful not to be there. At the next election, the Premier won a landslide victory. It was like the other party didn't exist.
We were locked within WA for two years. Terrible authoritarianism. I never wish to see that again.
Wow you still justify their actions as if they “saved you” lmfao. Catch up already.
Not true. We were not free to go where we liked. We were confined to regions for a period of time, were locked down and were directed to be vaccinated if we wanted to stay employed. McGowan later resigned due to “exhaustion” and is now a non executive chairman of an energy company amongst several other advisory/executive roles.
Seriously Will. If you’re going hold yourself out as some sort of authority on matters like the history of Australia’s immigration policy you should know something about it before you open your mouth.
Brits should look at their own government before bagging ours
The Australian government is controlled by the British. The British by the UN and the UN by Wall St and London bankers.
The Left's hatred of the white working class is disturbing, and is one of the main drivers if the rise of the Right.
Turns out, the experiment of allowing a former prison colony to self-govern, turned out exactly as authoritarian as you'd expect.
Captain Philip arrived -- not Cook -- re: Australia Day -- you sound like the ignorant woke historians!
Do you by chance have any decent Australian history book recommendations?
@@_nebulousthoughts Yes, anything regarding the First Fleet -- can't miss it! - but for an individual book - read (what is first fleeter) Watkin Tench's diary -- it's in a paper back called 1788
@stephenpercy4643 thanks heaps. Big reader but this is a topic that it's hard to find good material that isn't tainted with a "modern and racialized" spin on it. I think a big part of issues like this is everyone likes to shout and no one likes to listen or read. It's all so emotional. Like I have had this discussion with someone who studies aboriginal culture and even he says changing the date will not even stop the protests as 1) they are not a homogeneous culture 2) they didn't have a calendar 3) there are no even common celebration dates. So there's nothing for us to replace it with. I'm all ears but nothing except screaming ever comes back.
@@_nebulousthoughts Yes, true, living in a cave or hole in the ground is not an improvement on bathrooms and running water -- even if some would have us believe it!
What a great guest. Very insightful and good at explaining.
Australia is incredibly broken and the future looks grim. Enforced multicultural communist poverty.
Australia will be an Asian country in 30 years or so.
Multiculturalism doesn't work. Not without good leadership. Which we haven't seen in a couple decades.
Australians views are heavily warped thanks to media. Unless you've actually visited another country they generally have very negative views on places thanks to heavy handed and extremely overpowered corporate influences. Most are doing waaaay better than any of us have been led to believe. Everyone's fed booze and kept in check with debt. Ensuring hardly anyone gets to leave. It's still a prison colony as far as I'm concearned.
Intersting the recent right er change in nt and qld coalition govts the differnence in qld is huge govt is not so in your face noisey woke truth telling dept gone cfmeu is being ditched on a major projects and over the top working conditions thats killing the construction industry lot of perks ditched and potholes road projects much more happening .also intersting one the dying left in qld putting the abortion issue up in desperation very usa coppying
Culturally the Liberal party represents the top 30%, Labor party is currently only representing the 4% of indigenous people and the rest are completely forgotten and told to be ashamed of their history and their Nation.
Australia is a nanny state and I'm sick of it. The govt here have forgotten they work for us, they are not our parents. This woke, China loving weak govt we have now is embarrassing. The Australia I grew up in is gone. I hope one day we can be better.
Australia is definitely better than Britain. But Australia is over policed, overgoverened. People love being told what to do here. We're not the same at all.
It's infinitely better than the UK. I left there 37 years ago.
@@monsel97no, not better - just screwed in different ways. The paths forward remains somewhat similar for each.
Same as New Zealand full of c a c
After seeing their reaction to the so-called pandemic, I wouldn't go near the place
Australia showed a really ugly side during the pandemic. Not only with authoritarian govt but the pathetic bed-wetting population. Who cheered on the inhumanity of govt and bureaucrats indulging exercise of power, AND even sank as low as dobbing in their neighbours/families to the police. It was like a Stasi State. Things have gone from bad to worse since. Now this place is one of the tge most anti-semitic countries on earth, thanks to a weak far far left and incompetent govt.
So this guy claims to be concerned about the dysfunction of Australian cultural decisions but slinks off to some European outpost and lobs verbal puff balls from his comfy bunker in the UK. This desertion of Australia by so called talent to the more, in their minds, important parts of world has been going on for over 200 years so whatever these kind of people say and who no longer live at the coal face of their birth country can generally be disregarded as the ravings of disengaged elites.
