In this wide-ranging and unfiltered discussion, George Mamalis sits down with former Senator Cory Bernardi to explore his decision to step back into the political arena and align with One Nation at a pivotal moment for South Australia.

The conversation traverses the major pressures facing both the state and the nation; rising government debt, escalating cost of living, migration levels, housing affordability, energy policy, and concerns about political corruption. Bernardi speaks candidly about why he believes Australia’s political system has drifted away from everyday Australians and how, in his view, the major parties have converged into what many see as a single globalised establishment.

Nothing is off limits. From regional South Australia’s economic struggles to debates around net zero, race-based politics, masculinity and cultural identity, the interview probes the deeper social and economic forces shaping the country’s future.

Bernardi outlines what he believes is broken in Australia’s governance model and what must change if South Australia is to regain stability, prosperity and self-determination. He also addresses whether One Nation can grow into a significant political force capable of reshaping the national debate.

For those concerned about the direction of the state and the country, this interview offers a candid and thought-provoking examination of the challenges ahead, and the political choices that may define Australia’s future.
