Mike speaks with Dr Tanveer Ahmed, Psychiatrist & Social Commentator, who argues that mass migration is radicalising the political middle ground. From the weekend’s anti-immigration protests to the 10th anniversary of Germany’s refugee crisis, he says immigration—not climate change or pandemics—is the defining issue for the West. Housing pressures are closely tied to migration, and it’s a key reason for Trump’s rise. While Labor’s big win may mask it, growing unease is visible across the community as multiculturalism reaches its limits. With September 11’s anniversary looming, Dr Ahmed questions whether national identity can withstand continued migration, warning that dismissing concerns as “Far Right” only fuels mainstream anxiety.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mike speaks with Leith Van Onselen, Chief Economist at the MB Fund and Co-founder of MacroBusiness, about the government’s plan for new taxes on baby boomers under the banner of “intergenerational equity.” Van Onselen argues the policy unfairly targets older Australians for saving too much, owning property, or costing more in health and aged care, while the concept of “equity” itself remains poorly defined.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
