    You cannot reward bad governments, the consertive party has betrayed its voting base, it needs to understand that if they do not do what the voters have asked them then there are consequences. Zero seats for the conservatives, vote reform🇬🇧

    What do you mean Russia has never suffered defeat? They were defeated and destroyed by the Bolsheviks.
    Australia has never suffered a defeat. Does that make Australia bad?
    Tony's logic is off.

      You know that a Jacob Schiff and the bank of England financed the Bolshevik revolution don't you... not to " free the peasantry" but to gain control over Russia's vast resources and to steal all the kulaks land... of which there were hundreds of thousands of families... ( they would have been the middle class of those times...)

      The Bolsheviks were Russian, thus an internal revolt nothing to do with Russia being defeated. With our Government (Australia) inept governing it would be time to have our revolt and thoss the incompetents out. Can't understand why the GG does not step in.

    Respect to Tony but that Tory government has to go. It is nothing more than a blurry mirror of its opposition and doesn't deserve another term. Labour will win but I doubt they'll see out the full 5 years. After that Reform will be elected either in coalition with the Tories or as a replacement that has absorbed them.

      Agree with this, bad governments need to be punished, and allow the conservatives to go through a period of renewal for next time. Also worth noting it's not even a choice between labour and Conservative at this point, it's a decision on who gets second place

    I'm a swing voter...but l will never vote for A Dutton Govt. He was part of morrisons govt and frankly l felt his unimaginative defence of "Scotty's" policies despite pundit forcasts and growing evidence just points to his desire to "follow the leader"! In fairness his electorate keeps voting him in so they see something l may have missed. That the liberals got flogged by the current labor minority govt suggests that this conservative approach tied to their climate change ambition allowed a 3rd party (greens) to get a firm grip in Australian politics

    About 1979 my father gave me a bit of advice on attitude to dealing with people, as we did not talk. This was the 70s.Your Okay, I'm Okay. Now in terms of British politics I think NZ woke attitudes have had quite a lot of unfortunate influence and the UK conservatives are like the NZ National no longer. Their not conservative or national parties. Although on the fringes in Northern Ireland, the Scottish borders and in NE Scotland around Leuchers their is certainly a Unionist vote. In some ways the Conservative and National party have even fallen for. Neo Marxist lie, absolutely everyone, were all equal and full employment at wages to support a family. Such a position destroys inc 11:23 entive and progress and capitalism. In one way, elite attitudes to defence their is actually a similarity to defence. Australia is still mainly about gesture in defence acquisitions and policy looking for a few prestige status USN/ RN pedigree purchases and ANU, Hugh White like NZ MFAT is really just about disarmament like the Collins sub just a good way to waste the Australian defence budget. On the big issue I think the main need of Australia as a Pacific power is to double the RAAF in P8, F135 or equivalent and secondly to have a compulsory registration for potential service of all 18-28. They come along for half a day for a medical examination, height, weight, general condition, eyesight, hearing, blood test, .a couple of aptitude tests ( one IQ the other relative to how the individual might be employed in the military and an interview) essential what Reagan intended in 1983. I don't support the idea of a civilian army, the idea and indeed Australia's experience of WW1 and WW2 and even more critically the aftermath when they returned suggest to me the basic requirement of IQ 105 ( or top 50 percent in rank order of the Australian age group) and adequate height and presence.
    I am not into conspiracies. I disagree, in my view Russia certainly also shot down MH370 five months before MH17, off Sth Vietnam 41 min out KL to accompany their invasion of Crimea on that day 2014. In terms of the USS Scorpion I consider it was chase by Soviet subs and either USS Scorpion had its propellor shaft blown off by the proximity fuse of its own or Soviet torpedoes or the shaft fell off after a long 30 knot pursuit by a Soviet November which was under Moscow direction because it was suspected that the USS Scorpion while operating in the Med and Black Sea, the 6 Russian translators on the Scorpion had realised USN communications were being intercepted.
    In one way I think Putin thinks he is justified because in 1991 after the military coup which nearly succeeded against Gorbachev, Robert Gates the CIA director and Kissinger decided to back Yeltsin because Russian stand alone independence meant on that day in 1991 the Russian would lose half their more useful military capability long range.Backfires and Blackjacks and most of their surface naval shipbuilding capability, as they did the day Ukraine became Independent and throughout the 1990s US Senators did all they.could beyond the actual parameters of the arms control agreements to ensure that the Russians got very little back. My own view is that a Russian land invasion of Poland and the Baltics would rather too obviously not successor Putin and that if Russia and China attack it would be in the Pacific and possibly rather resemble what happened in 40/41.

    I have the highest respect and regard for what tony says but on the subject of forage and braverman, I fully agree with Dan. If Tories genuinely want to do what's best for the UK, they will put personalities aside and if people see that there would have been at least a chance for the Tories to get in.
    The Tories are on the nose because they've gone very left. Braverman and Farage would've veered them back to their true instincts

Tony has an issue with Putin rather than stick with the facts. Scomo was wetting his pants when the chinese setup port at the Solomon Islands because they are 2000km from Brisbane but Zelensky threating to setup missiles at Moscow a few hundred km is no issue. See how the Americans are reacting about Russian nuclear warships back in Cuba but has no problem sending them to Taiwan to upset the Chinese.

    I believe Tony is the best PM we've had since Howard, but he's off the mark on a few things.
    Regarding Tories v Reform, Liz Truss's interview with Lotus Eaters was eye opening, how anyone can vote Tory after that is beyond me.
    Regarding the crises in Israel and Ukraine, you can't mention these without acknowledging that failed US leadership under Biden is chiefly to blame. The previous policies regarding Nordstream 2 and the Abraham Accords were very positive, both were thrown out after Biden took office. It's also worth mentioning the borderline corrupt dealings of Bidens in Ukraine that have also exacerbated the issues and mistrust there.
    Lastly, I think this podcast needs to spend some time discussing the current state of degeneracy and immorality in the so called free liberal Western democracies. Those forces are just as dangerous as the crises abroad.

    Only the IPA would even contemplate what our future looks like without this disaster in our midst. Tony Abbott was a man without morals or scruples and, when he finally achieved the power he craved, turned out to have neither plans nor policies except to hang onto that power. All he did manage to achieve was to embarrass us on the world stage. We are well rid of him and the UK Tories are fools who deserve to lose if they listen to a word he says.

    TA makes is good on some points throughout this series but he's not nfi on the topics in this episode. Firstly the torries need to get belted and get 0 seats for doing a pathetic job for 14yrs, reform is the way to go to move the country in the right direction(much like one nation here in Australia). Secondly with the Ukraine/Russia situation, their pm is a puppet, their msin fighting force are modern nazis. If they were to join Nato then the US through them would be able to hit Moscow and be able to manipulate them through that threat.
    It would be like if China setup forces on all the islands surrounding Australia and boxed us in, how would we feel?
