n this episode of Hearts of Oak, Peter speaks with Kat A, an Australian advocate, about a range of pressing global and domestic issues. They begin with the conflict in Israel and Gaza, noting widespread Australian support for a ceasefire while unpacking the complexities of Prime Minister Netanyahu’s plans. Kat voices strong opposition to proposed social media bans for under-16s, framing them as tools of state surveillance and censorship, before turning to broader political and economic challenges in Australia, including rising living costs and immigration policies that may erode cultural identity. The discussion touches on generational differences in media consumption, global surveillance trends, and Robert Kennedy Jr.’s vaccine safety advocacy as part of a wider pushback against governmental health control. Additional topics include debates over Australia’s net zero policies, the impact of economic pressures on everyday life, and heightened English language requirements for immigrants, offering a thought-provoking exploration of cultural integrity and individual freedoms in a rapidly changing world.
