EP34. Holocaust Remembrance with Gary Sokolov

We examine a case that goes far beyond the courtroom. When the phrase “All Zionists are terrorists” was amplified in a charged public setting, it forced a precise legal question: where does free speech end and incitement begin? But as this conversation with Menachem Vorchheimer unfolds, something deeper emerges. This is not only about law — it is about the power of language to shape emotion, behaviour, and ultimately action. In an era where slogans travel faster than thought, this case exposes how narratives are formed, how lines are crossed, and what happens when words move from expression to consequence. And in that sense, its lessons extend well beyond protest or politics — into leadership, decision-making, and the responsibility that comes with influence.

EP63 Free Speech or Incitement-The case that tested the law

One of Australia's greatest raconteurs, Andrew Landeryou, delivers a blunt assessment of a political system in flux and the rise of a more volatile, fragmented electorate. urning to the global stage, he frames the Israel–US–Iran conflict as a genuine strategic turning point, with the potential to reshape regional power and test Australia’s alliances, warning that we may be entering a far more uncertain and consequential phase of both domestic and international politics.

EP62. Australia Shifting, War Escalating: - Andrew Landeryou on Politics & Power

As Israel moves rom managing the Iranian threat to removing it, former Australian Assistant Defence Minister and soldier Mike Kelly provides a hard-headed assessment of the escalating conflict involving Israel, Iran, Hezbollah and the United States. What are the real military and geopolitical stakes of this war, and how far could it spread? We examines the strategic objectives of Israel and the US, the role of Iran’s proxy forces across the region, and managing the risks of wider regional escalation including Iran's use of global terror. The conversation uncovers the strategic fiascos of Australia's National Security establishment and the "failure to appreciate the ecosystem of terror".
