Australians are waking up! The Pushback has begun 🇦🇺 | The Ark E62

Australia is closer to a breaking point than most people realise.

In this wide-ranging and uncensored conversation, we break down why trust in the major parties is collapsing, why Australians are waking up politically, and why waiting for politicians to save the country is a losing strategy.

From collapsing party loyalty and censorship laws, to state power, free speech, community organisation, and the reality of how quickly stable societies can fracture — this episode is a warning and a call to action.

The message is simple:

The hero you’re waiting for is you.

This is about more than politics.

It’s about culture, courage, and the future of Australia.

In this special long-form episode, George-Alexander Mamalis sits down with Joel Jammal, Head of Turning Point Australia, for one of the most important conversations we’ve ever released. 21st Jan. 2026
