The Dr Jo Show

Barnaby Joyce joins me for his most personal interview yet. We discuss One Nation’s stunning Secret Harbour victory, why he believes Australian politics is shifting conservative, and why the Nationals and Liberals are losing touch with ordinary voters. But the conversation takes an extraordinary turn when Barnaby reveals the pressure he and Vikki faced to abort their son Sebastian, and tells the d...

👉 SIGN THE PETITION: https://protectourkids.com.au/ The internet erupted after a clip of James saying “we don’t do consent” was ripped from our discussion about consent ideology, triggering an extraordinary social media, political and mainstream media pile-on. In this episode, James and I show the full context, respond to the accusations being made against him, and examine what is actually being...

Today I sit down with Mike Newman, One Nation’s new NSW leader and candidate for Cessnock, for a wide-ranging conversation about why he left business for politics, what he says he learned inside the NSW public service, and the policies he wants to take to the March 2027 election. We discuss Eraring, energy prices, hospitals, bureaucracy, taxes, abortion, media scrutiny and his plan to run governme...

This week, the future of the Liberal Party is on the line. Alex Antic is offering members a genuine conservative alternative, while Nicola Centofanti is presenting herself as something very different from the record I uncover in this episode. I reveal the connection between Centofanti and Dr Tessa Opie, founder of In Your Skin, and examine why repeated grassroots demands to remove radical gender a...

👉 SIGN THE PETITION: https://www.drjoannahowe.com.au/stopalbo The Sydney Swans scandal is unraveling fast. One player is no longer a suspect, Nick Blakey reportedly wants out, police have seized a secret recording, and we’ve now been told there won’t be another update for eight weeks. None of this fits the hysterical media narrative we were sold from day one. In this episode, I show how these pla...

Rally info: https://www.drjoannahowe.com.au/nswrallyforlifeseptember2026 The Australian has spent days publishing extraordinary allegations about One Nation’s Warren Pickering, but the full story tells a very different picture. In this episode, James and I go through the headlines, Pickering’s unedited press conference, the testimony of his adult children, and footage from his former partner that...

👉 SIGN THE PETITION: https://www.drjoannahowe.com.au/stopalbo Rally info: https://www.drjoannahowe.com.au/nswrallyforlifeseptember2026 Labor’s new Digital Duty of Care is being sold as a way to protect women and children from harmful content online. I’m not buying it. In this episode, James and I expose the feminist campaign being used to manufacture a “misogyny crisis,” demonise men and justify...

Australia’s migration system is broken, and none of the major parties has a coherent plan to fix it. In this episode, I explain how temporary migration exploded, why international students, backpackers and so-called skilled visas are now driving a system built around cheap labour, vested interests and political cowardice. I break down Angus Taylor’s housing test, Labor’s internal chaos, and why On...

The South Australian Liberal Party presidency battle has turned into a full-blown factional war. In this episode, I reveal how Nicola Centofanti became the candidate backed by the party’s left to stop Alex Antic, and the extraordinary manoeuvring that kept nominations open long enough for her to enter the race. I break down the media leaks, the mystery-candidate saga, the role of her father Stuart...

The Andrew Thorburn saga remains one of the clearest examples of what happens when mainstream Christian beliefs collide with corporate Australia. Thorburn lasted barely a day as Essendon CEO after outrage erupted over sermons published by the church he chaired. He was effectively forced to choose between his church leadership and his new job. In this episode, James and I revisit exactly what happe...

The Sydney Swans scandal was never just about football. In this episode, I expose how unproven sexual assault allegations against Swans players have been weaponised to fuel a much bigger political campaign against social media and free speech. From Media Watch to News Corp, Tanya Plibersek, Katy Gallagher and Anthony Albanese, the same message is suddenly everywhere: algorithms are dangerous, miso...

Rally info: https://www.drjoannahowe.com.au/nswrallyforlifeseptember2026 The Saturday Paper has published an extraordinary claim about South Australia’s abortion laws, and in this episode I show exactly why it is wrong. I go through the old law, the Termination of Pregnancy Act 2021, and the government’s own data to demonstrate what changed under Steven Marshall and Vicki Chapman. The previous pro...

Rally info: https://www.drjoannahowe.com.au/nswrallyforlifeseptember2026 The latest media attack on Alex Antic has completely unravelled. In this episode, I expose the leaked messages, political manoeuvring and glaring conflicts behind another attempt to damage one of Australia’s strongest conservative voices. I show how Leah Blyth’s own messages undermine her own carefully constructed narrative i...

Rally info: https://www.drjoannahowe.com.au/nswrallyforlifeseptember2026 Labor and the Liberals have just pushed through extraordinary new ASIO powers, and Australians deserve to know exactly what happened. In this episode, I expose how the legislation passed the Senate, why most Liberal senators were nowhere to be seen when the vote was recorded, and what these expanded questioning powers mean fo...

The Sydney Swans scandal has exposed something far bigger than one night in a hotel room. In this episode, I break down the media’s extraordinary pile-on, the contradictions of commentators who celebrate “sex work” while condemning the men who use it, and the rush to frame unproven allegations as established fact. I explain why the presumption of innocence matters, why the AFL keeps bending the kn...

Australia’s immigration system is completely out of control, and politicians are refusing to confront the biggest part of the problem: international students. In this episode, I explain why Australia’s temporary migration system has exploded, how universities have become dependent on billions in foreign student fees, and why tinkering around the edges will never fix it. I break down the real numbe...

https://www.drjoannahowe.com.au/nswrallyforlifeseptember2026 Michael Kemp confronted me in regional NSW and insisted I had misrepresented him. His proof? He handed me the speech he gave defending his vote for the Greens’ abortion bill. I read it—and somehow it made his position even worse. In this episode, I break down one of the most incoherent political speeches I have ever encountered: bizarre...

Rally info: https://www.drjoannahowe.com.au/nswrallyforlifeseptember2026 The South Australian Liberal Party is in the middle of a fierce battle over its presidency, and the media has chosen a side. In this episode, I expose the so-called “leaked letter” published by The Advertiser, the campaign to stop Alex Antic becoming party president, and the factional operators working behind the scenes. The...

https://www.drjoannahowe.com.au/nswrallyforlifeseptember2026 In this explosive interview, I sit down with Nationals MP O’Brien as he prepares to introduce a federal bill requiring life-sustaining treatment or palliative care for babies born alive after abortion.

https://www.drjoannahowe.com.au/nswrallyforlifeseptember2026 Lucy Hood tried to turn one joke about Vickie Chapman into a political scandal, and it backfired spectacularly. In this episode, James and I break down the outrage, the media pile-on, Labor’s glaring double standards, and why attempts to silence blunt criticism only exposed the weakness of their argument. We also revisit Lucy Hood’s reco...
