Episode Details

Australia’s democracy is under fire as billionaire influencers like Gina Rinehart and Clive Palmer drown out everyday voices, turning politics into a game of private wealth where homelessness, healthcare, and education get sidelined. With power concentrated in the hands of the ultra-rich, the nation risks becoming an “Americanized” political playground, where votes don’t count equally and divisive rhetoric overshadows urgent issues like climate change and multiculturalism. Grassroots groups like GetUp are stepping up with bold strategies to fight back against this populist tide, warning that without action, Australia could follow a dangerous path already seen elsewhere — unless the people’s voices rise above the money.
