Are They Elected — Or Selected For Us? | Metin Pekin on Breaking Democracy's Chains E48 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
With one average salary in 2005, you could buy 2.5kg of gold. In 2025, half a kilogram. 90% of the UK's printed press is owned by three companies. 40% of American voters identify with neither major party. Author Metin Pekin (Breaking Democracy's Chains: Freeing and Fortifying Democracy Against Hidden Capture) joins Perth Dialogues to make the case that it isn't any one party letting voters down — it's the party system itself. We push back hard on it: can independents actually govern without coll
"The State Hasn't Given You Rights Yet" — Should WA Scrap the Lord's Prayer? | Matthew Ogilvie #E47 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
"The state has not given them those rights yet." That's what Deng Xiaoping reportedly told a reporter after Tiananmen Square — and it's the moment that shapes how today's guest thinks about where human rights actually come from. WA Parliament has opened every sitting day with the Lord's Prayer since 1928. A WA Labor MP now wants to replace it with a moment of silent reflection. Returning guest Prof. Matthew Ogilvie (Professor of Theology, University of Notre Dame Australia) makes the case for ke
"There Are 15 UN Days For Women And Girls. Zero For Men." | David Maywald #E46 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The United Nations calendar has 15 days dedicated to women and girls. It has zero for men and boys. That, says David Maywald, is where this conversation starts — not with grievance, but with an audit. In Australia he points to six times more public spending on women's medical research than men's, almost one million children growing up without an actively involved father, and male teachers now making up less than one in five primary school staff. David Maywald is the author of "The Relentless War
"Filing a Dowry Case Is Easier Than Ordering a Pizza" | Wasif Ali - Men Welfare Trust #45 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In 2018, the Australian Senate ran an inquiry into dowry abuse. Among the submissions was one from an organisation based 8,000km away in New Delhi — arguing Australia should not introduce a dowry law at all. Wasif Ali co-founded that organisation. In this conversation he explains why. WHAT WE COVER - How an engineer became a men's rights activist after his own marriage broke down - What Men Welfare Trust actually does — the helpline, the counselling, the advocacy - Section 498A: what the law is,
Why Australians Never Learned to Invest Beyond Property? | Mihir bhatt #E44 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
$50,000 invested in 2011 could be worth $9.4 million today. Almost no Australian would have made that bet. Mihir Bhatt is the founder of Artha Academy, a Perth-based share-market education platform. In this conversation he makes the case — as one voice among many, not as personal financial advice — for why Australians, and migrant communities in particular, tend to put everything into one asset class, and what a more diversified approach could look like. In this episode: - Why Australia is one o
