Before There's Nothing Left Made in Australia

This episode is a reflection for the 26th of January — not a celebration, not a protest, but an honest pause.

Australia is one country, on one island, shared by many histories, cultures, and people who all call it home. Yet too often, we walk past one another pretending we're not facing the same pressures, the same uncertainty, and the same future.

This conversation does not blame young Australians.

It asks a harder question:
What did the adults build for them to inherit?

The First Nations people of this land were here first — that is history, not opinion. Everyone else came later. And today, too often, First Nations people remain last at the table while the rest of the country debates dates instead of responsibility.

This episode points the focus where it belongs:
on leadership, systems, culture, and collective choices — not on the youth who are left navigating the consequences.

Recorded on the eve of the 26th of January, this is a call for Australians to look around, recognise each other's humanity first, and remember what "Made in Australia" once stood for — and what it could stand for again.

Because unity doesn't come from denial.
It comes from honesty, responsibility, and making room at the table.
