Turning Point Australia sat down with Dr Joanna Howe for a wide-ranging conversation about the cultural, political and social forces shaping the future of the country.

In this episode, TPAUS South Australian Coordinator George Mamalis speaks with Dr Howe about why many Australians are increasingly questioning the political system and feeling disconnected from the traditional parties and institutions that have long dominated public life.

The discussion explores the changing landscape of conservative politics in Australia and the broader cultural debates unfolding across Western societies. Topics range from abortion policy and freedom of speech to the growing concerns around censorship, activism, and the influence of social movements on public policy.

A key theme of the interview is the role of faith, values and moral conviction in politics. Dr Howe discusses why these issues remain central for many Australians and how they continue to shape debates about law, culture and national identity.

The conversation also examines the political shift among younger voters, with increasing numbers questioning established narratives and looking for alternatives to the traditional political framework.

As the country approaches another major election cycle, the interview reflects on what these shifts may mean for Australia’s political future and whether a new generation of voters could reshape the national conversation.

Whether viewers agree or disagree with the perspectives discussed, the interview raises important questions about freedom, values, representation and the direction Australia is heading.
