Is populism simply democracy in action? | Australia's Future with Tony Abbott S5E3
Episode 84
Monday, 23 February, 2026
On this special ‘on the road’ episode, former Prime Minister and IPA Distinguished Fellow Tony Abbott and the IPA's Deputy Executive Director, Daniel Wild, discuss why it is short sighted for some to dismiss the rise of One Nation as simple "populism". Tony and Dan discuss the recent conference held by Advance Australia and the upcoming conference Aspire and what it means for centre-right in Australia. Tony shares his insights and perspectives into how Australia should cut immigration, including through a foreign worker tax; and they both discuss how the Liberal Party should combat the inevitable arguments from the elites that cutting migration will crash the economy (hint: it won't).
