Former Premier of Queensland Campbell Newman joined us to explain why he is running for the Liberal Democrats in the federal election. In particular, I wanted Campbell to explain the seeming contradiction between the freedom values of the Liberal Democratic Party and his time as Premier introducing fierce anti-bikie laws that drew the ire of civil liberty groups. Campbell explained his motivations...

LibDems candidates Damian Coory and Topher Field join us to dissect what Australian electorates are thinking. Matt challenged both of them on their integrity and consistency, and why they are so confident of an increased result for minor parties. We talked about preferences, parachuting candidates into seats, previous and future results for minor parties, the myth of the Greens being an environmen...

Anthony Cursio is the LibDems candidate for the electorate of Fraser in Melbourne's west.

Why is Pauline Hanson’s One Nation Party spending resources in Victoria? It seems odd given that the party base is in Queensland, and conservative leaning. Pauline gave us an exclusive interview when she visited Shepparton in Victoria to discuss the ‘why’ behind her move into Victoria. I thought I'd try and fire her up - but she was already fired up.

The state of Victoria, Australia is about to lose 500-2,500 teachers today (28th April 2022) because of a legal mandate to receive a vaccine booster. It's beyond urgent that we have robust and honest discussions about the medical and legal validity of mandates and build political pressure on governments to follow the science. Dr Gilbert Berdine is an associate professor at Texas Tech University wi...

Retired lawyer of 42 years Geoff James believes the Northern Territory vaccination mandates are invalid at law (ultra vires) and has published an essay explaining why. This argument is distinct from others we have heard because rather than make a moral judgement, Geoff makes the claim that they are simply and technically not law. His legal argument is being used by class actions in the Norther Ter...

Gina Castello sat down with The People's Project to discuss how her opinion of Daniel Andrews (Victorian Premier) has radically shifted after her grandfather died as part of the 801 deaths in Victoria's Hotel Quarantine fiasco.

SOCIALS will serve as a bulletin board only to no...

Discernable has given much coverage to the Freedom Convoy Truck Protest in Canada and the positive voices around the movement but with so many Canadians also against the protest, we felt it was only right to hear from their side as well. Tim Van Winckle is a resident of Ottawa, Canada. Ottawa was the centre of the protest and is a very pro-government city, much like Canberra, Australia. Tim believ...

In this episode of The People's Project: FLOOD OF SUPPORT The community of Northern NSW stepped up and saved themselves when their government abandoned them for over 10 days. MASK THE CHILDREN Incoming NYC Mayor tries to justify keeping masks mandated on just one group: young children. Channel 9 tries to do the same in Australia. Florida does the exact opposite and calls out the theatre. HIDE YOUR...

Why do people get cosmetic surgery? Is the trend increasing? How does this inform, enhance or distort our self-identity? With a special appearance by Dr Gemma Sharp (body image expert from Monash University), we delve into the world of Body Dysmorphic Disorder and explore exactly why Matt (and millions of others) went ‘under the knife’. In this conversation we slammed together two worlds: the foun...

Tonight we take a dive into who the warring parties are - what are the truckers' demands? What is their motivation? And who exactly is Trudeau and the many leaders like him? Why do the...

In what seems like hyperbole from a dystopian nightmare novel, Canada has declared it will freeze bank accounts (without court orders) and cancel the insurance of protestors who do not protest according to what the government deems a 'legal' protest. The widening of Canada's terrorism financial laws to control crowdfunding and cryptocurrencies in Canada will be PERMANENT and will not end at the co...
