   Ep17: Gaza Genocide - with John Ruddick

   On August 3rd, 2025, Libertarian member of the NSW Legislative council, John Ruddick, allegedly abandoned libertarianism and abandoned his christian faith. On that fateful day, John - allegedly - became a Muslim; and a Marxist; and an antisemite; and a violent terrorist. If this sounds dubious to you, that’s good. Because it is nonsense. Obviously. John’s beliefs and values have not changed. He still stands out as one of the few sane, rational, intelligent and well-informed minds in contemporary Australian politics. However, if you have been infected with the new right-wing woke mind-virus, you might believe John really has turned into a monster? You might believe that such a transformation is not only possible, but occurs in anybody who asks a legitimate question about what is going on in Gaza? John caused aneurysm’s among sufferers of the right-wing woke mind-virus recently when he not only questioned the situation in Gaza, he attended a protest against the genocide there. His actions - walking in a protest and talking amicably to people - blew up the internet with abuse and criticism. So I spoke to John about what he was protesting for, the definition of ‘genocide’ according to the 1948 United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, and whether that is the situation in Gaza? 0:00 Intro 4:48 Why Did John Protest? 14:08 Qualifying a ‘Genocide’ 24:27 Why is Israel exceptional? 34:52 Libertarian position on war Get full access to Liberty Itch at www.libertyitch.com/subscribe (https://www.libertyitch.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4)

   Ep16: WHO Pandemic Agreement - with James Roguski

   The Australian government recently announced its proud adoption of the WHO’s divisive Pandemic Agreement. Fortunately, they are not telling the truth about that. The revised pandemic agreement is slightly less horrifying than the original Pandemic Treaty. But that is not really true either. The truth is, many of the most concerning terms from the original Pandemic Treaty have been moved into amendments to the WHO International Health Regulations (IHR). But the WHO did not truthfully disclose what had been amended. (NOTE: the US government just rejected the IHR amendments to avoid them applying to the US. The Australian government did not reject them; and now it is too late). Everything about the WHO and its pandemic agreement is cloaked in dishonesty. So I spoke to an expert - James Roguski - about what is really going on. If you enjoyed wearing 2 masks, as you drove alone to the PCR testing station, on your way to get your 75th booster, so your vaccine passport app would show a green tick, so you could enter a supermarket, during your 1 hour lockdown reprieve each day, you are going to love what the WHO has in store for the future. If you did not care for that whole Covid episode, you should probably watch this episode of the Liberty Itch Podcast. You can read the WHO pandemic agreement here: https://apps.who.int/gb/ebwha/pdf_files/WHA78/A78_10-en.pdf (https://apps.who.int/gb/ebwha/pdf_files/WHA78/A78_10-en.pdf) And you can find James Roguski here on Substack: https://substack.com/@jamesroguski (https://substack.com/@jamesroguski) TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 9:29 Problems in 2021 13:38 IHR Deadline 16:30 Pandemic agreement 23:51 The business model 27:01 IHR Amendements 33:18 Pandemic Emergencies 45:48 Infodemics 48:50 Sovereignty 56:01 Pushing back Get full access to Liberty Itch at www.libertyitch.com/subscribe (https://www.libertyitch.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4)

   Ep14: 2025 Election Review - with John Ruddick MLC

   For episode 14 of the liberty itch podcast, the honourable John Ruddick - Libertarian Party member of the NSW Legislative Council - gives his assessment of the 2025 Australian federal election, the issues impacting the result, how Labor won, and the future of freedom-focussed parties in Australian politics. John is a lifelong libertarian who devoted over 20 years to trying to redirect the Liberal Party back toward its founding principles. In 2018 he published a book entitled ‘Make the Liberal Party Great Again’ (https://www.amazon.com.au/Make-Liberal-Party-Great-Again/dp/1925642569). But in 2021, after the Liberal government’s hysterical covid response, he abandoned the party to join the Liberal Democrats; now known as the Libertarian Party. Johns inaugural speech in the NSW parliament should be considered essential viewing for all libertarians. He covers all of the big issues in Australian politics, pulling no punches, yet remaining affable throughout. The speech’s truthfulness resulted in it being banned by YouTube. However, YouTube has since revised what is ‘true’, and so the speech is available again. You can find it here… (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hw1zPTDEVxA) In this podcast, John gives a fascinating and deeply thought-provoking analysis of the Australian political landscape, with powerful historical and international references, and his characteristic candidness.

   Ep13: Cancelled - Danny King

   The latest book of multi-award winning writer Danny King, is ‘Cancelled’. It is a satirical novel set in a future world in which saying or thinking the wrong thing gets you cancelled from mainstream society. Ironically, here in the present, the publishers tried to cancel ‘Cancelled’. So, Liberty Itch writer, Tom Valcanis, decided to ask Danny about ‘Cancelled’, being cancelled, and writing in our brave new world where being cancelled is all too real. Fortunately, Danny was able to self-publish ‘Cancelled’, and it is now shortlisted for the Prometheus Awards Best Novel of 2025. ‘Cancelled’ is available on Amazon in physical or digital form here… (https://www.amazon.com/Cancelled-Shape-Things-Danny-King-ebook/dp/B0DKMPLPPC/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8) Connect with Danny on Facebook here… (https://www.facebook.com/DannyKingAuthor) TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 1:55 Inspiration for ‘Cancelled’ 5:23 How to stop becoming New Brittania 7:39 Challenging dangerous ideology 9:55 Writing different genres 16:45 Competing with legends 18:18 What led you to writing? 20:35 Psychology of characters 24:04 Lockdowns and obedience 30:00 Sci-fi inspirations 35:21 Writer education 36:09 ChatGPT “writers” 41:53 Technological tyranny 44:51 Starmer, Trump, Albo & Dutton 51:20 Novels vs screenplays 53:40 Sienna - protagonist of Cancelled 55:21 Diversity 57:52 Weaponisation of words & ideas 1:10:12 Libertarianism in politics 1:16:55 British sci-fi 1:20:38 Advice to writers 1:24:10 Self publishing This is a public episode.

   Ep11: Censored for Conspiracy Theories - James Corbett

   Ned Kelly. Al Capone. James Corbett. Every era has a dangerous villain who exploits the technology of the day to break the rules and confound authorities. If the media is to believed, James Corbett more dangerous than Kelly or Capone were. He is one of the most prolific of the internet’s allegedly ‘dangerous conspiracy theorists’. James was among the first to be censored and deplatformed from multiple tech platforms, immediately following the infamous Alex Jones. His dozens of documentaries and reports on YouTube had garnered millions of views over 10 years. Then YouTube deleted his entire library. So I asked James why? Was he lying or slanderous? How does he come up with his alleged ‘conspiracy theories’? What is he saying that has governments and the media so hysterical about silencing people like him? And, how can we differentiate between a crazy conspiracy theory and good investigative journalism? Check out the Corbett Report website: https://corbettreport.com (https://corbettreport.com) Check out James’s book, Reportage: https://reportagebook.com (https://reportagebook.com) TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 3:25 What is a conspiracy theorist? 4:19 The Bilderberg conspiracy 9:55 Reportage: conspiracy tales 11:05 Do NOT do your own research? 13:27 Crazy climate change conspiracy theory 20:27 Crazy covid conspiracy theory 26:47 Early Chinese Covid collapses 30:49 Crisis of Science 36:28 9/11 conspiracy theories 46:47 How is available information ignored? 50:03 Our reliance on the internet 50:59 Decentralised online alternatives 53:37 Where to find future peace and freedom This is a public episode.

    Ep8: Lies, Crime & Corruption. Phantom of the Senate - Jordan Dittloff

    My guest for Episode 8 is Victorian Libertarian Party lead senate candidate, Jordan Dittloff. Jordan’s perspective, passion, policies and personality should be a winning combination, if he can get his message through the corrupt Australian mainstream media. So, in this discussion we get stuck into the ugly realities facing Australia, starting with the lying media. We then move onto the pervasive organised crime, the monstrous corruption of government, the dire state of the economy, the anti-nuclear agenda and whether it is even possible to make a dent in the problems?

    Ep6: Chinese Political Dissident - Warren Wang.

    Warren is a Chinese national who escaped(?) communist China, and has now been living in Australia for 12 years. Warrens story, in of itself is obviously fascinating. What did he do to get in trouble with the Chinese government? What did they do to him? How did he get out? What about his family? But I was also interested in a genuine, first hand, truthful critique of China and the Chinese government, from the perspective of a fellow Libertarian; someone whose values I share and make sense to me. Warren is now an experienced Australian small business owner. So I asked Warren how company ownership actually works, in practice, in China? How do the employment laws work? Mostly, how do things compare with Australia? His answers might surprise you. They should also trouble you.

    Episode 5: Gun Control - with David Leyonhjelm

    Senator David Leyonhjelm is the guest for episode 5 of the Liberty Itch podcast. David has been at the forefront of Australia's gun control debate. He has written 2 books on the topic with a third on the way. He is well known for his libertarian stance and he's consistently challenged Australia's strict firearm laws, arguing they infringe on citizens' rights to self-defense and recreation, which they do. Australia has among the toughest gun control laws in the World, along with North Korea, Eritrea and Venezuela. It is not a policy to be proud of. As David explains, aggressive gun control laws are a feature of authoritarian dictatorships. They do not precede a reduction in crime; probably because criminals do not care about laws, by definition. But harsh gun control laws have preceded some of the most horrifying examples of government brutality of the past 100 years. In this episode, David shares his perspectives on gun control, personal liberty, and the reality of how gun laws affect public safety versus individual rights.

    Senator Bob Day was one of Australia's most successful builders. After being named South Australian Entrepreneur of the Year and receiving an Order of Australia for his housing affordability advocacy, Bob's journey led him to the Senate. Ever since he has been arguing and advocating for Australians to be given more freedom to decide their own workplace arrangements, and for government to get out of the way of, among other things, housing development. I was privileged to have Bob share with me a true insiders perspective on the real challenges in Australian politics, particularly pertaining to workplace and housing laws.
