G'day Folks,
Introducing Steven Tripp: In this episode, host General Maddox welcomes Steven Tripp, a former political candidate and passionate advocate for grassroots reform. Steven shares his journey from an everyday Aussie to running for federal parliament after losing his job due to vaccine mandates. He discusses his motivation to challenge political norms and get more Australians involved in shaping the future.
Free Speech and Political Hypocrisy: The discussion dives into recent political controversies, particularly the disendorsement of Ben Britton over his views on women in the military. Steven and General Maddox critique the erosion of free speech in Australia, highlighting the dangerous trend of punishing dissenting opinions, even within supposedly free-speech-supporting parties like the Liberals.
The Misinformation Battle and Social Engineering: The pair examine the rise of censorship laws, such as the misinformation and hate speech bills, and their broader implications for society. They argue these measures blur the line between public safety and social control, potentially silencing debate and manipulating the public through fear and political correctness.
Understanding Australia’s Voting System: Steven provides an insightful breakdown of Australia’s preferential voting system, emphasizing the need for “preference discipline” on the political right. He explains how minor parties and uninformed voting habits often benefit Labor and the Greens, and how strategic voting could empower freedom-minded candidates and shift the balance in the Senate.
Australians for Better Government: Wrapping up, Steven discusses his involvement with Australians for Better Government, a think tank and lobbying group aiming to reform the system from the ground up. He outlines proposals like banning political affiliations in the Senate, enshrining free speech in the Constitution, and pushing for real separation of powers. The goal: to build a movement that puts power back into the hands of everyday Australians.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
