Mike is joined by author and technology consultant Mark Roeder from Chicago-based geopolitical advisory firm Hale Strategic to discuss warnings from AI leaders including Elon Musk and Sam Altman that the race to develop artificial intelligence must slow down.

The warnings come amid concerns from AI safety researchers that increasingly powerful technology could pose an existential threat to humanity, with some arguing development should pause until its risks are properly understood.

Sunday Morning Politics with John Preston - 20th September 2026

Mike is joined by consumer behaviour analyst and Managing Director of Marketing Focus, Barry Urquhart, to discuss allegations Woolworths staff intimidated IGA employees.

Barry explains the difference between corporate values and competitive behaviour, after large groups of uniformed Woolworths staff reportedly visited an IGA store to compare prices and products. 

While such comparisons are common, Barry questions whether these visits crossed the line into intimidating behaviour - and what it could mean for Woolworths’ reputation and the relationship between big retailers and small businesses.
