The Mark Pirotta ShowEP43 - Protests, CFMEU Corruption & “Centrist” Lies: Why One Nation Is Surging and You’re Getting PoorerSydney’s Gaza protests, a CFMEU corruption bombshell and Malcolm Turnbull’s “everyone is centrist” fantasy collide in this episode of The Mark Pirotta Show, as I dig into why the political class is losing control while working Australians are getting smashed.I start with the latest protest fallout: fresh Sydney footage, activists rallying at Surry Hills Police Station, Greens senators attacking police conduct and the now‑infamous 15‑year‑old who allegedly bit an officer’s finger while the media still runs “peaceful prayer” headlines.

Programs and InterviewsInternational Peace Coalition #114 – Hiroshima and Gaza — Never Again!President Trump’s approach to diplomacy has shocked the world. Just in the last several days, he has levied new, grave threats against Russia, Brazil, and now India—among others—in an apparently flailing attempt to squeeze a modicum of “success” out of his recent policy initiatives.

Threats and bullying of this sort can never win the pe...

AnalysisWho Defends Europe?This summer's hasty and poorly executed withdrawal of US forces from Afghanistan caused shock and profound unease among Washington's allies, just as they hoped the unilateralism of the Trump era had been left behind. But anxiety about America's position on defence only intensified with the unveiling in September of AUKUS - a trilateral security pact involving Australia, the US and UK covering the Indo-Pacific region. The exclusion of France from that deal not only enraged Paris but also further alarmed European allies about American intentions. So what next? Can the Biden administration be trusted to uphold the...

An extraordinary US presidential election campaign has resulted in an outcome that few could have predicted at its outset: Donald J Trump will become the 45th US President of the United States.
The implications of this historic decision are, for now, highly unpredictable, and for many, deeply concerning, with many questions unresolved around the course of future US policy on the economy, security, environmental protection, and human rights.
