GKP S7/E6 - Federal Election with Steven Tripp

GKP - General Knowledge Podcast

G'day Folks,

Introducing Steven Tripp: In this episode, host General Maddox welcomes Steven Tripp, a former political candidate and passionate advocate for grassroots reform. Steven shares his journey from an everyday Aussie to running for federal parliament after losing his job due to vaccine mandates. He discusses his motivation to challenge political norms and get more Australians involved in shaping the future.

Free Speech and Political Hypocrisy: The discussion dives into recent political controversies, particularly the disendorsement of Ben Britton over his views on women in the military. Steven and General Maddox critique the erosion of free speech in Australia, highlighting the dangerous trend of punishing dissenting opinions, even within supposedly free-speech-supporting parties like the Liberals.

The Misinformation Battle and Social Engineering: The pair examine the rise of censorship laws, such as the misinformation and hate speech bills, and their broader implications for society. They argue these measures blur the line between public safety and social control, potentially silencing debate and manipulating the public through fear and political correctness.

Understanding Australia’s Voting System: Steven provides an insightful breakdown of Australia’s preferential voting system, emphasizing the need for “preference discipline” on the political right. He explains how minor parties and uninformed voting habits often benefit Labor and the Greens, and how strategic voting could empower freedom-minded candidates and shift the balance in the Senate.

Australians for Better Government: Wrapping up, Steven discusses his involvement with Australians for Better Government, a think tank and lobbying group aiming to reform the system from the ground up. He outlines proposals like banning political affiliations in the Senate, enshrining free speech in the Constitution, and pushing for real separation of powers. The goal: to build a movement that puts power back into the hands of everyday Australians.
