    Is Pauline Hanson Making One Nation's Biggest Mistake?

    Is Pauline Hanson Making One Nation's Biggest Mistake? One Nation has a major opportunity in Australian politics. But could the people surrounding Pauline Hanson be holding the party back? In this episode of The GOKO Podcast, Greg Owen and Troy Harris question whether Barnaby Joyce and other career politicians are the right people to help shape One Nation's future. Greg also reveals an invitation to meet Barnaby Joyce and explains why he believes One Nation needs a different approach to recruiting leaders, including more business owners, younger people and practical thinkers. The conversation explores the importance of long-term vision, political leadership and surrounding yourself with people who challenge your thinking. The big question: Is Pauline Hanson building the team that could take One Nation forward, or repeating the mistakes of the political establishment? Listen now and tell us what you think.

    Australia’s Real Problem? The People Running It.

    23 cabinet ministers run Australia. Greg says only 3 of them have any experience in small business. So who's in the room to say "hang on" when they make decisions that hit the people who keep this country going? Greg has been a small business owner since he was 25. He's had weeks where there wasn't enough money to pay staff, and he's paid everyone's long service and holidays when times were hard. In this episode he asks how the people making the decisions could understand any of that when their salary is guaranteed, whether they have a good week or a bad one. Greg argues that a lot of Australia's problem comes down to who's running it. They don't face repercussions for their mistakes, and they don't have a vision for where the country could go. In this episode: • Why Greg says only 3 of 23 ministers have any small business experience • The guaranteed "envelope": why politicians get paid even after a bad week • The credit card / ATO change, and why small business should have been asked first • Greg's idea: a quota of small business owners in the room • Why pain is what makes a leader, and why politicians never feel it • No vision in Canberra, and the case for a "vision room" • Why Australia can't rely on America anymore • Has Australia lost its bravery?

    Professor Steve Keen Exposes the Problem With Elon Musk's AI Predictions

    Is Elon Musk overselling the future of artificial intelligence? Professor Steve Keen joins Greg Owen and Troy Harris on the GOKO Podcast to challenge some of Elon Musk's biggest predictions about AI, humanoid robots and the future of work. Musk envisions a world with billions of robots and dramatically fewer human jobs. But Professor Keen argues that the technology, raw materials and capabilities required to make that happen are nowhere near ready. From the limitations of humanoid robots to whether AI can genuinely replicate human creativity, the conversation raises important questions about how much of the AI revolution is reality — and how much is hype. The discussion also turns to Donald Trump, the weaknesses of the American political system and why growing dissatisfaction with traditional politics could reshape Australia's political landscape. Are we witnessing the beginning of an AI revolution, or are some of its biggest promises getting ahead of reality? Join Greg, Troy and Professor Steve Keen for another thought-provoking GOKO conversation.

    Could Planes Really Be Grounded Within Months?

    Could the Iran war trigger an energy shock severe enough to ground planes, force fuel rationing and push food prices even higher? In this week’s GOKO Podcast, Greg and Troy unpack Professor Stephen Keen’s warning about the potential economic fallout from the Iran conflict.

    I’ve Applied to Run for Parliament with One Nation… Here’s Why

    Greg Owen said he’d never enter politics. Now he’s put in an application to become One Nation’s candidate for the federal seat of Bennelong. In this episode of GOKO, Greg drops the announcement on Troy, who genuinely had no idea it was coming, and explains what changed his mind. Greg reveals that One Nation approached him, why he eventually submitted the application, and what happens next if he makes it through the selection process. But he’s also clear: they’re looking at him, and he’s looking at them. The conversation then turns to a much bigger question: if Greg did enter politics, what would he actually want to change about Australia? They discuss: • Why Greg changed his mind about entering politics • How One Nation approached him • What the candidate selection process could involve • The possibility of presenting in front of Pauline Hanson and Barnaby Joyce • Why Greg believes Australia could do far more with its natural resources • Whether everyday Australians should benefit financially from the nation’s assets • Infrastructure, government red tape and long term thinking • Why Greg wants to hear directly from Australians about what they would change TIMESTAMPS 00:00 — Greg’s big announcement 00:40 — “I put my application in” 01:00 — Why Troy is completely shocked 01:30 — Why Greg changed his mind 02:00 — What happens during the application process 02:30 — Presenting in front of Pauline Hanson and Barnaby Joyce? 04:00 — Would Greg actually make a good MP? 05:20 — Why Greg decided to give it a shot 06:30 — His family doesn’t know yet 07:20 — Why One Nation approached Greg 09:20 — Greg asks Australia for its opinion 10:00 — What would Greg change about the country? 11:30 — Australia’s untapped opportunities 12:00 — Should Australians profit from our natural resources? 13:00 — Bitcoin and politics 15:00 — Greg’s message to viewers Now we want to hear from you: Do you think Greg should go through with it?

    Everyone’s Panicking About Property. Here’s What Comes Next

    Everyone’s panicking about property. Prices, interest rates, recession fears and affordability are dominating the headlines — but are we missing the bigger picture? This week on GOKO, Greg Owen and Troy Harris look at the property market through a very different lens: the 18-year property cycle. Greg revisits economist Phil Anderson’s long-term property cycle and his view that the current market could flatten for several years before the next major property boom. If that cycle plays out again, today’s property prices may only be part of a much bigger story — particularly for the next generation of Australian home buyers. They also discuss the latest political polling, the growing support for One Nation, media narratives, Bitcoin’s four-year cycle and why long-term investors need to understand the difference between short-term noise and long-term trends. And make sure you stay until the end… Greg has something BIG to announce. He won’t reveal it this week — but Troy’s reaction when he hears what’s coming says plenty. Next week’s GOKO could be a very interesting one. In this episode: • Why Greg believes the property market needs to be viewed in cycles • The 18-year property cycle and what could come next • Why Phil Anderson has been talking about this period for years • The warning for the next generation of Australian home buyers • Why Greg believes the next property boom could be enormous • Property cycles vs Bitcoin’s four-year cycle • Why headlines can distort what’s really happening in markets • The latest discussion around One Nation and Australian politics • Greg teases a major announcement for next week ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 – What’s happening in Australian politics? 01:20 – One Nation and the latest polling 03:00 – The superannuation debate 04:30 – What the headlines are saying about property 05:00 – Understanding the 18-year property cycle 06:00 – What could happen after the market flattens? 06:30 – The problem facing the next generation of home buyers 07:20 – Property cycles vs Bitcoin cycles 08:30 – Can you trust the headlines? 09:00 – Phil Anderson, Warren Buffett and long-term investing 10:00 – Greg teases a BIG announcement for next week Do you think Australian property is in trouble — or are we simply watching another cycle play out?

    Have the Sydney Swans Already Paid the Price?

    Have the Sydney Swans already paid the price or has the media pile-on gone too far? This week on The GOKO Podcast, Troy and Greg unpack the controversy surrounding the Sydney Swans and ask a bigger question about Australian sport: when does legitimate accountability turn into public punishment? The players put themselves in a situation they should have avoided. But with allegations still being dealt with and the story continuing to dominate headlines, Troy and Greg debate whether the reaction has become bigger than the incident itself. They also look beyond the Swans to the broader conversation around young men, misogyny, the “manosphere” and the very different allegations emerging from Sydney schools. In this episode: • The Sydney Swans controversy and the media reaction • Have the players already “copped enough”? • Why athletes need to think about the situations they put themselves in • The responsibility of clubs, coaches and management • Australia’s tall poppy syndrome • Why sporting stars become easy targets • The important distinction between the Swans story and the school allegations • Misogyny, young men and the “manosphere” • Why accountability still matters • Where should the media draw the line? TIMESTAMPS 00:00 – The Sydney Swans debacle 01:00 – Innocent until proven guilty? 02:30 – Has the media reaction gone too far? 03:20 – Should clubs do more to protect players? 04:00 – The allegations involving Sydney school students 05:00 – Why the Swans situation is different 06:00 – Athletes, responsibility and being constantly filmed 07:00 – “Nothing good happens after midnight” 07:30 – Has the punishment become excessive? 08:20 – The manosphere conversation 10:00 – Australia’s tall poppy syndrome 10:30 – Why successful athletes get torn down 12:00 – Have the Swans copped enough? 12:40 – Misogyny in schools, universities and workplace Where do you draw the line? Should professional athletes expect intense public scrutiny because of their position — or can media coverage reach a point where enough is enough? Let us know what you think in the comments.
