Anthony Albanese Divides Australians over Fuel

It's deliberate. Strategic. Politicians have a strong self-preservation instinct and the best way to deflect criticism is to divide the population and turn them against each other.That is exactly what Australia's Prime Minister is doing over the fuel crisis, blaming it on everyday families who are 'hoarding' fuel.This is how he does it: set up a false binary and invite viewers to self identify with a noble majority, channel all anger toward a hated and imaginary minority, then threaten the noble...

Australian Nuclear Energy with Dr Mark Ho

Australia has 33% of the world's uranium and is responsible for 10% of the current uranium produced worldwide.

Dr Mark Ho is a nuclear engineer at the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO), Australia's federal nuclear agency. He is also the current president of the Australian Nuclear Association a...

Jay Vidanage: Employers are Liable for Mandates

Jay Vidanage is a barrister and solicitor from Old Port Chambers in Adelaide, Australia. Jay believes that it's only a matter of time before the wheels of justice come down on vaccine mandates.
