    The Cost of Compute: AI, Data Centres, Energy, and Australia's Future

    We sat down with Dr. Sue Keay, Director of the UNSW AI Institute, to explore the physical infrastructure underpinning the artificial intelligence boom. We break down what "hyperscalers", “NeoCloud Providers” and "tokens" are, as well as the energy and water they require. Dr. Keay argues for the urgent need to build Australia's sovereign compute capabilities by supporting local, tax-paying providers, rather than giving away resources for a short-term sugar hit of foreign investment. The conversation highlights the stark regulatory double standard between physical AI (robotics) and unregulated non-physical AI, the impact of AI on the future of the Australian workforce, and why the country desperately needs to increase its R&D spending. Finally, Dr. Keay shares how AI can be used to solve environmental issues, and what she thinks the next 10 years could look like.

    The Fight for Political Transparency: Fixing Australia’s Lobbying Rules with Dr. Catherine Williams

    In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Catherine Williams, Executive Director of the Centre for Public Integrity, to unpack the state of political lobbying and democratic accountability in Australia. We discuss the crucial differences between third-party and in-house corporate lobbyists, the ethical dilemmas of "success fees," and the urgent need to extend the cooling-off period to stop the "revolving door" of politicians moving straight into industry roles. Dr. Williams also sheds light on Australia's declining public trust and the ongoing battle over Freedom of Information (FOI) laws and transparency.

    In this episode we sit down with Dr. Zac Seidler, clinical psychologist and Global Director of Research at Movember, to talk men’s health. We discuss the stresses men face, the algorithmic dangers of the "manosphere", the "perception gap" pressuring men to hide their true values, and why society desperately needs more "third spaces" for connection. David and Zac share their personal experiences as new dads and unpack Movember's latest report on the unaddressed struggles of modern fatherhood.

    Are we sleepwalking into the AI era? Data Centres, Scams, and the Fight for Digital Rights - with Lizzie O’Shea

    In this episode, David Pocock sits down with Lizzie O'Shea, human rights lawyer, award-winning author, and founder of Digital Rights Watch. They dive into why Australia's data privacy laws lag behind places like California and Europe, and how the business models of tech giants like Meta and Google rely heavily on data extraction, addictive design, and even scams. Lizzie unpacks the dangers of Australia's retreat from stricter artificial intelligence regulation and highlights the environmental toll of hyper-scaling AI data centres being built across the country. From discussing the new Children's Online Privacy Code to unpacking the Pope's recent encyclical on AI, this conversation is a wake-up call to demand better digital rights and stop "sleepwalking" into a future where we serve technology, rather than it serving us.

    How gambling companies groom our kids and why the Albanese Government is letting it happen.

    This week we’re joined by public health expert Professor Samantha Thomas from Deakin University to look at the staggering reality of gambling in Australia. Professor Thomas unpacks the gambling industry's "tobacco-style" playbook, which increasingly targets young people and normalises a highly addictive product as an ordinary part of enjoying sport. We discuss the landmark 2023 ‘You win some, you lose more’ Parliamentary Report into gambling harm (often referred to as the Murphy Report), an inquiry led by the late Peta Murphy that unanimously recommended 31 measures - including a complete, phased in ban on all gambling advertising, banning inducements and the creation of a national regulator to prevent harm. We examine the government's heavily criticised "watered-down" response, the outsized influence of gambling lobbyists in Parliament, and why standing up to these vested interests is urgent. Finally, we outline what you can do to push for real legislative reform before it's too late.

    How We're Getting Fleeced by the Gas Industry with Marian Wilkinson & Royce Kurmelovs

    Why is Australia facing a domestic energy crisis while exporting record amounts of gas? In this episode, Senator David Pocock is joined by investigative journalist Marian Wilkinson and author Royce Kurmelovs to expose how the fossil fuel industry has effectively captured Australian politics. The panel unpacks the industry's most effective tactics. From using former politicians and public servants to shape legislation, to exploiting global crises to protect their profits, as well as the role of geopolitics and how countries like Japan have pressured the Australian government not to tax gas exports. With the ongoing failure of the Petroleum Resource Rent Tax (PRRT) and major parties refusing to back a 25% gas export tax, this episode provides a stark look at the realities of state capture. The guests highlight the urgent need for grassroots pressure at the ballot box and new political voices to ensure Australians finally get a fair return on their finite natural resources.

    From Fake Discounts to Gas Taxes: Unpacking the budget with Chris Kohler

    Chris Kohler, finance editor at the Nine Network, author of How They Get You, and the man behind @ChrisKohlerNews joins David Pocock to break down the latest federal budget. They unpack efforts to tackle the housing crisis through changes to capital gains tax and negative gearing, and scrutinise the tax cut given to every Australian. Chris also explains the recent ACCC ruling against Coles for misleading "fake discount" pricing before they discuss several major structural issues facing the country: the disappointing response to the Murphy report on gambling harm, AI's looming threat to Australian jobs, and the ongoing campaign to make multinational gas companies pay their fair share of tax.

    It's Our Gas - Answering your questions on taxing gas

    Australia is one of the biggest gas exporters in the world but most Australians know we are not getting a fair return on the export of our gas and want that to change. In this episode, Senator David Pocock breaks down how Australia’s gas tax system works, why offshore gas companies often pay little or no royalties, and how decades of lobbying and political compromise created a system that experts say massively undercharges one of the world’s most profitable industries. From the PRRT and corporate tax loopholes to comparisons with Norway, this conversation unpacks the mechanics, the politics, and the billions of dollars at stake, while answering the biggest questions Australians have been asking online about gas companies, lobbying, windfall profits, and whether reform is actually possible. If you want a 25% tax on gas export, go to ourgas.com.au to contact your MP.
