    What Australia Should Learn From Carney’s Message to Trump | Prof. Van Jackson

    On Episode 76 of Bogan Intelligentsia, American-born IR scholar, Un-Diplomatic host and Victoria University of Wellington associate professor Van Jackson joins us for a sharp conversation on empire and Australia's role within it. Starting from Mark Carney’s Davos “rupture” speech and his August address after Canada walked away from U.S. trade talks, Van unpacks last-minute American demands Canada, and what it means when Washington treats even its closest partner as a subsidiary. From there he turns to alliances as instruments that launder coercion, like Australia's, via the 2026 Iran campaign and US strategic failures. Under the theme Alliances, Primacy and the Multipolar Rupture, and diving into AUKUS, Van asks who actually benefits from these fights, what middle powers still refuse to face, and what a foreign policy should look like in the circumstances.

    "Storytelling Is Resistance" – Ala’a Al Qaisi on her play The Return

    On Episode 75 of Bogan Intelligentsia, Australian-Palestinian writer, director and filmmaker Ala’a Al Qaisi joins us for a deep and moving conversation on storytelling as memory, resistance and healing. Drawing on her upbringing with her grandmother’s stories of a Palestine she has never seen, Ala’a examines diaspora identity and the homeland, the shift from screen to theatre as soft power, the genesis of a work born from one family’s grief, the creation of a “second reality through imagination,” the responsibility of embodying real loss on stage, art that humanises against dehumanising narratives, and healing as a communal and spiritual act. Under the theme Storytelling as Resistance: Memory, Healing and the Return, Ala’a reflects on the roots of her practice, the essence she most wants audiences to carry, and what it means to refuse erasure through the power of story.
