Show Notes
One of the world's most renowned political commentators, Alastair Campbell, joins BETOOTA TALKS this week to discuss the similar paralells between One Nation and Reform UK. The former British Labour Press Secretary explains the roots, the enablers, and the masters of modern political populism. From Trump, to Scomo, to Boris, to Farage... What is it about these cowboy leaders that makes them so easy to vote for - even though you probably wouldn't take them fishing? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
More from Betoota Talks
Former Queensland Premier Peter Beattie joins Betoota Talks to tell us how the world works. The first man to take on One Nation - and crush them - in the 1990s, Beattie explains how he tackled grievance politics head-on and let his opponents blow themselves up. He's never been above praising the Opposition, and he's certainly not shy of firing pot shots at his own mob. He's now working as an NRL commissioner and ia still a keen observer of Australian politics and sport - but deep down, he's still the North Queensland boy from the Atherton. He's from Queensland I can tell. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The nation's most esteemed political analyst and demographics wizard, George Megalogenis joins Betoota Talks to explain just how different Australia actually is to what our media, politicians and cultural commentators think it is. The demographics aren't changing, they have changed. The voting patterns are going back to what they used to be. Pauline Hanson has a ceiling of popularity because the average voter is a 37 year old 2nd generation migrant woman who will vote against anyone who attacks women's health and childcare. All of that and more! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
