Leighton Smith Podcast #301 - September 10th 2025 - James Allan

View descriptionShare

Canadian born Law Professor James Allan holds a New Zealand passport and taught at University of Otago for eleven years.

He is also an Australian passport holder and professor at the University of Queensland.

In this discussion we start with which Anglo based country is doing best in a difficult global climate.

We discuss the legacy media (and whether it is broken), judicial activism, the threat of immigration, politicisation of police, and we finish on his views on Israel and Gaza.

We visit The Mailroom with Mrs Producer, and comment finally on the ugliest crime in America not to get national coverage.
