Australia Day is under fire as Invasion Day protests grow louder, the Albanese Labor government fails on social cohesion, and immigration continues to explode while ordinary Australians struggle with the cost of living and housing. In this episode of The Mark Pirotta Show, we break down the Australia Day vs Invasion Day rallies, the bomb scare at the Perth rally, the burning of the Australian flag, and what it all means for free speech, hate speech laws, and the future of our national identity.​We also look at why Pauline Hanson’s One Nation is surging in the polls, why more Australian women are turning to One Nation, and how policies on immigration, energy prices, childcare and net negative migration could reshape the next federal election. From neo-Nazi stupidity on stage to Indigenous activists stomping on the flag, we unpack how these actions really incite hatred, fracture social cohesion and push Australians further apart at a time we desperately need unity.If you care about Australia Day, Western values, freedom of speech, immigration, social cohesion and the cost‑of‑living crisis, this episode is for you.

In this episode of The Mark Pirotta Show, Mark takes aim at the ABC’s Australia Day propaganda, calling out Tony Armstrong’s 25‑minute “grievance show” for pushing myths about invasion, genocide and Indigenous sovereignty while demonising ordinary Australians. He argues the segment parrots imported activist talking points from overseas, weaponises history, ignores inconvenient facts about disease, population growth and funding, and deepens racial division instead of healing it.​

Mark also unpacks the collapse of the Liberal–National Coalition after the hate‑speech bill, explaining how Susan Ley’s deal with Labour and the Nationals’ walk‑out expose a hollow, centrist Uni‑Party that has abandoned conservative voters and opened the door for a nationalist, One Nation–style realignment. Along the way he hits themes of Australia Day patriotism, free speech, Indigenous industry rorts, youth crime and the widening gap between taxpayer‑funded elites and everyday Australians just trying to keep a roof over their heads.​

In this episode of The Mark Pirotta Show, Mark dissects what he calls the “unholy alliance” between the Liberals and Labour as they combine to ram through Australia’s radical new hate‑speech and anti‑extremism bill. He argues that this Uni‑Party stitch‑up has betrayed conservative voters, gutted the Liberal brand and lit the fuse on a deeper civil conflict over free speech, law and national identity.He zeroes in on the core hypocrisy at the heart of the bill: it claims to combat antisemitism yet ignores the religious antisemitism behind the Bondi attack, instead focusing on ethnic antisemitism linked to fringe Nazi types like the NSN. Mark argues the bill effectively says, “Islamists did this; we’re going to target Nazis,” while carving out protections for hate‑preaching if it is anchored in religious texts.​Mark contrasts Hizb ut‑Tahrir—well‑funded, globally networked and openly Islamist—with the disbanded, marginal NSN, accusing Tony Burke and Labour of fixating on a media‑inflated “white supremacist” threat while avoiding the ideology actually driving global jihad. He points to long‑running Islamic conflicts, repression in places like Iran and Turkey and the lack of any recent “authentic Nazi terror attacks” as evidence that the real security risk is Islamism, not a tiny, delegitimised Nazi fringe.​The most chilling section is his breakdown of the hate‑group provisions. He explains how the bill turns the government into judge, jury and executioner by empowering the AFP minister to unilaterally designate “hate groups,” instantly criminalising donors, supporters, trainees and associates—without clear definitions or real due process. In his view, this breaks the traditional separation between parliament making laws and the judiciary determining guilt.He notes that the much‑touted two‑year review requirement does not end the regime; it simply forces periodic reviews of listings that can still destroy lives and movements by association. Mark also analyses the gun‑law components, accepting that restricting firearm ownership to citizens might have affected the Bondi attackers while calling the rest political theatre that ignores deeper ideological and policing failures.​Politically, Liberal senators failed to kill the bill in the upper house after amendments had been won in the lower house, arguing the real betrayal came when they chose party loyalty over principle. He praises figures like Matt Canavan for standing firm and sees the Nationals’ break from the Coalition and shadow‑cabinet resignations as the inevitable collapse of a toxic relationship.​Labour has become the “lukewarm” centre party attacked from both far‑left and right, and that this lukewarmness lets genuine free‑speech defenders be painted as extremists. Mark insists the laws would not have stopped the Bondi attack, proving the bill is less about security than policing thought and criminalising dissent. He warns that historians may see 20 January as the day Australia crossed a line toward civil rupture, and insists free speech—including the risk of offending and being offended—is non‑negotiable in a free society.​👍 Like the video to help more Australians hear this conversation about free speech, politics and the future of our country.​💬 Comment — agreement or disagreement welcome (respectfully).
