ONE NATION SENATOR MALCOLM ROBERTS SAYS SMALL BUSINESS NEEDS GENUINE IR REFORM. LOCKDOWNS HURT BIZ. Victoria's into day three of a lockdown that could go past the planned five days. Questions are again being raised about Victoria’s infection control procedures, with a leading virus expert claiming the state’s protocol had failed. Paul Dimattina is a prominent Melbourne restaurateur, and strong critic of Premier Dan Andrew's Covid-19 shutdowns which continue to smash Melbourne's hospitality industry. The Federal Government is seeking to support Covid-19 recovery and job creation with its new Industrial Relations Legislation. We’re joined by Senator Malcolm Roberts, One Nation Senator for Queensland who questions whether the new legislation will assist recovery and what is required for genuine reform of Industrial Relations. We wonder how serious our Governments are - Federal and State - about supporting Australian economic growth when international borders are expected to remain closed for the foreseeable future and Premiers from Victoria, Western Australia and Queensland needlessly close their borders and restrict business activity.

We shouldn’t be surprised that this pandemic has exposed immorality, callousness and incompetence of Government. So, should we be surprised that State sanctioned censorship is very evident in this environment. In the US, advice from the Nation’s chief medical advisor has swung from one extreme to another with no explanation; Government policies have been contradictory and, in some cases, dangerous - in New York City, leading to deaths of the elderly and now on the Southern border. There’s been manipulation of Covid19 statistics, and targeted suppression by Big Tech and mainstream media. In Australia, things are not much better. As in the US, there has been little accountability of Government, even in Victoria where bungled hotel quarantine led to hundreds of deaths. No scientific evidence has been offered anywhere to justify widespread lockdowns and the trampling of individual freedoms. We’ve also witnessed the silencing of eminent medical experts seeking to provide evidence-based information to save lives? Why in Australia and the USA, in contrast to many other countries, is there no early treatment for Covid19 and why aren’t responsible members of the Federal Government and practicing experts not allowed to talk about it? And what's next, we cant ask questions about these new and very expensive vaccines? By the way, the bungling continues in Victoria. Victorian authorities have held crisis talks over the worsening United Kingdom mutant strain outbreak in Melbourne, with now a new lockdown. Authorities are not only concerned about the growing Holiday Inn cluster, but they are worried about virus fragments detected in wastewater across Melbourne. There were reports that Emergency Management Victoria feared they had lost control of the outbreak — describing scenes of “pandemonium” at the agency. There's even evidence of staff not wearing PPE in the quarantine hotels. Chairman Dan Andrews and his incompetent politburo need to go now. And for gods sake, can't the media anywhere in the world start doing their job instead of being the voice of Government and Big Tech.

Early Treatment for Covid-19 reduces hospitalisations & deaths with Dr Peter McCullough. This pandemic has exposed immorality, callousness and incompetence of Government. So we shouldn't be surprised about State sanctioned censorship in this environment. In the US, advice from the Nation’s chief medical advisor has swung from one extreme to another with no explanation; Government policies have been contradictory and, in some cases, dangerous - in New York City, leading to deaths of the elderly and now the Southern border is open while restrictions on international travel remain.

International Broadcaster and regular guest, Kirk Clyatt from Las Vegas gives us an update on his Covid-19 recovery.

Government leaders and public health officials have not provided credible justification for their draconian restrictions on businesses and individuals during the Covid-19 pandemic. In fact, looking at what’s been happening in places such as California, New York and Washington, and throughout Australia, it appears Government actions have more to do with politics than science. The lack of transparency and the narrow focus of media on Covid-19 infections has increased public fear and allowed governments the greatest latitude in destroying thousands of small businesses and lives, and taking away individual freedoms. The headline statistics in the US and in other countries have been alarming but do we expect to see a downturn in infections soon – and not just because of the vaccine. We're joined by Dr Jay Richards, a Research Assistant Professor in the Busch School of Business at The Catholic University of America, author of many books including New York Times bestsellers. His most recent book written with Professors William Briggs, and Douglas Axe, The Price of Panic: How the Tyranny of Experts Turned a Pandemic Into a Catastrophe – is a worthwhile read.

Cancel Culture is a growing, malignant disease that will remove our valued traditions and sow growing dissent. In Australia, views that are at odds with progressive or woke causes are silenced. Demands for censorship of the politically Incorrect are coming from senior politicians and representatives of the left, academe, mainstream media and a host of organisations, many of which promote disinformation and division. Deconstruction of history, re-education of children and the masses to accept radical theories of race and gender, Big Tech and State censorship and divided, unhappy communities should be rejected. In the United States, radical race-based, social justice and criminal “reforms” are being imposed, along with threats from the new administration to hunt down supporters of the previous Administration and censor “disinformation” via a new Federal Agency. Collusive and extensive censorship by Big Tech and mainstream media, and social media manipulation go unhindered. Violence and Crime are spiraling out of control in US cities that have long been governed by Democrats. Is this “only in America” and why aren't Australian politicians and community leaders engaging more actively in the Culture Wars and protecting Australian traditions, free speech and individual liberties? We catch up with Prof Peter Kurti, Director of Culture, Prosperity & Civil Society Pogram at The Centre for Independent Studies. Peter Kurti is also Adjunct Associate Professor in the School of Law at the University of Notre Dame Australia, and Adjunct Research Fellow at the Australian Centre for Christianity and Culture at Charles Sturt University. He has written extensively about issues of religion, liberty, and civil society in Australia, and appears frequently as a commentator on television and radio. In addition to having written many newspaper articles, he is also the author of The Tyranny of Tolerance: Threats to Religious Liberty in Australia, and Euthanasia: Putting the Culture to Death?, both published by Connor Court. Peter is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, and an ordained minister in the Anglican Church of Australia.

DR JAY RICHARDS & COVID, LOCKDOWNS & CHINA. PETER KURTI & CANCEL CULTURE. International experts investigating the origins of Covid-19 have all but dismissed a theory that the virus came from a laboratory in China. It would seem that the virus did not come from a lab in wuhan, that the military were not involved, that WHO is hugely influenced by China and that pigs can fly. Government leaders and public health officials have not provided credible justification for their draconian restrictions on businesses and individuals during the Covid-19 pandemic. In fact, looking at what’s been happening in places such as California, New York and Washington, and throughout Australia, it appears Government actions have more to do with politics than science.

Marc Morano of CFACT talks to Mike Ryan about his new movie - Climate Hustle 2, further exposing the great Global Warming Scam, a new Climate Monarchy and the dreaded Global Reset. Marc Morano, the award-winning producer, writer and host of Climate Hustle and Executive Producer of recently released Climate Hustle 2, is one of the highest profile voices of climate realism. He is the author of 2018 best-selling book, The Politically Incorrect Guide to Climate Change. Marc currently serves as Director of Communications for the Committee For A Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT) founded to promote an alternative voice on issues of environment and development. Marc, who has spent years researching climate change, environmental, and energy issues, held both White House and Capitol Hill Press credentials and was a member of the Society of Professional Journalists. During his tenure as senior advisor, speechwriter, and climate researcher for U.S. Senator James Inhofe (R-OK), he managed the communication operations of the GOP side of the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works. From 1992 to 1996, Marc served as a reporter for the nationally syndicated “Rush Limbaugh, the Television Show.” He next served as an investigative reporter for Cybercast News Service and as a reporter and producer for the nationally syndicated television newsmagazine “American Investigator.” In 2000, his investigative television documentary “Amazon Rainforest: Clear-Cutting the Myths” created an international firestorm. Marc is the publisher of the award-winning ClimateDepot.com, a global warming and eco-news center founded in 2009. Morano was named one of only five “criminals against humanity, against planet Earth itself” in 2009 by the eco-magazine Grist. (The other five criminals were Bjorn Lomborg, Richard Lindzen, Sen. James Inhofe and former President George W. Bush.) Newsweek declared Morano “is quickly becoming King of the skeptics!” in December 2009. Newsweek called Climate Depot the “most popular denial site.” Tina Brown's Daily Beast also recognized Morano as one of the “The Right's Top 25 Journalists” who serves as a “bombastic foe of the Greens.” The Daily Beast described Climate Depot as “a bustling, one-stop-shop for climate skeptics.”
