Alliance Games and the Price of Truth
About this Episode
(00:00:00) Alliance Games and the Price of Truth
(00:01:09) The Albanese–Trump Deal and the $8.5 Billion handshake (17 mins)
(00:18:46) Sparks Over The South China Sea (11 mins)
(00:29:56) Barnaby Joyce and One Nation: Who Really Cares (8 mins)
(00:38:45) A Ceasefire That Still Kills in Gaza (5 mins)
(00:43:35) The ABC Hatchet Job on Hedges (15 mins)
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s long-awaited meeting with Donald Trump delivers smiles, handshakes and a critical minerals deal that deepens Australia’s dependence on Washington. Beneath the diplomacy lies a bigger story – how this deal sidelines China, fuels the mining magnates and leaves Australia as the world’s quarry. Meanwhile, rising tensions in the South China Sea, Barnaby Joyce’s flirtation with Pauline Hanson’s One Nation, and the collapse of the Gaza “ceasefire” expose a world of political theatre and moral failure. From AUKUS to media censorship and Chris Hedges’ fight for truth, this episode dissects power, propaganda and the high price of speaking out.
