Rose Tattoo singer Angry Anderson is a survivor of pedophilia and grew up amid domestic violence. He admits he still struggles with life, but music and therapy help.

Despite defining himself as an “outlaw” early on, Angry is now a staunch, patriotic conservative who has twice run for parliament, and, having read history voraciously, has no doubts about the malign forces trying to destroy what’s left of western civilisation.

Lawyer Tony Nikolic has provided his legal services for free to some of the most disadvantaged people in Australia. His CV would normally categorise him as a lefty, but he is a staunch conservative, thanks to the values instilled in him by grateful ethnic parents.
He is the People First candidate for Werriwa in the forthcoming federal election, and in this conversation discusses family, culture and the inadequacy of the mainstream political parties.

Political adviser and conservative maverick John Macgowan discusses the alarmingly high stakes at the forthcoming Australian federal election, marvels at the disconnect between the major parties and voters, offers advice for frustrated punters and outlines some (albeit slim) reasons to be hopeful.

Craig Kelly was banished from the Liberal Party in 2021, during his third term in the House of Representatives, for daring to challenge the Covid narrative, and lost his seat at the following election.
He has a list of injustices based on mistruths being perpetrated by both major parties, which he hopes to correct if he can win a seat in the Senate as a Libertarian in the forthcoming election.

Piers Akerman is a patriotic Australian, resolute conservative, provocateur, veteran journalist and columnist who has been sounding the alarm about Islamic immigration and environmental catastrophism, among other leftist disasters, for decades.

Monty Webber is a surfer/artist/filmmaker/writer from Bondi, Australia, who endured more than three years of constant suicidal depression while on, ironically, a mixture of prescribed anti-depressant pharmaceuticals. Sadly, his experience is common in Australia, where the use of such drugs per head of population is the third highest in the world.
Monty has emerged from it with a new type of spirituality that would have shocked his younger self.
Webber's family is well known in Australian surfing circles. The candour he shows in this conversation takes enormous courage.
