In this episode, Brent Bultitude sits down with Mark Latham, Member of the NSW Legislative Council, for a wide-ranging and frank discussion on the week’s major headlines. They start with the dramatic public fallout between Donald Trump and Elon Musk — a clash of egos with global implications for politics, media, and influence. Back home in New South Wales, Latham unpacks the state government's changes to the workers’ compensation system, warning of serious consequences for injured workers.

The conversation turns to the Liberal Party and the legacy of Alan Stockdale, raising questions about where the party is headed. Latham also weighs in on the growing calls to ban public-private partnerships in NSW hospitals, asking whether this is real reform or just another layer of bureaucracy. And in sport, he doesn’t hold back on Adam O’Brien’s recent attack on Newcastle Knights fans — is it fair criticism, or has the coach lost touch?

It’s a fast-paced episode full of strong opinions and straight talk you won’t hear anywhere else.
