The Institute of Public Affairs’ Daniel Wild and John Roskam discuss what Dan learned from his trip to Canberra earlier in the week when Barnaby Joyce submitted his private members bill to abolish net zero into parliament.
Dan and John discuss why they believe the Coalition will almost certainly dump net zero this year, and the changing dynamics of the Senate and how this is affecting the gravitational pull of policy.
They also look at the rightward shift of young men in Europe and Japan and implications for politics in Australia.

The Institute of Public Affairs’ John Roskam and Daniel Wild discuss why Australians reject welcome to, and acknowledgment of, country ceremonies; how the political class do not understand what the true meaning of the 1967 referendum was; and what the latest push for a treaty and reparations payments in Victoria tells us about how the elites have complete and total disregard for the values of mainstream Australians.
John and Daniel also discuss the developments in the United Kingdom where polls show Nigel Farage would be the Prime Minister if an election were held today, and what implications could be in store for Australia given the declining support in our two major political parties.
