The Last Place on Earth takes you undercover at a conference linked to a shadowy network of right-wing thinktanks. Find out what Basil Zempilas wants to ban, who Gina Rinehart looks up to, and which Labor MP Tony Seabrook recently treated to a lamb lunch and a tour of the paddocks.

'Australia: The Road Ahead' was held last week at the Esplanade Hotel in Fremantle and involved a number of organisations including The Atlas Society, The Institute of Public Affairs, the Mannkal Economic Education Foundation, The Centre for Independent Studies, and The Ramsay Centre for Western Civilisation.

As the Australian conservative movement identifies woke attacks on the foundations of Western civilisation coming from all directions, does it have a map for the road ahead?
