9/8/2026 Shows ↗ (Jump To Original Content)

Councilor Ingrid joins Trent from Australia for a wide-ranging talk on government overreach, election politics, and record-breaking agriculture. They dig into census privacy concerns, questioning why governments demand much personal information, and compare rising control over property and taxation to modern-day serfdom. Talk shifts to political shake-ups, including Australia's complex preferencing voting system and the rise of Pauline Hanson's One Nation party, plus new political parties emerging in Nebraska. Ingrid previews the Henty Field Days agricultural event before Trent breaks down a report on record 2026 farm production, sparking debate over irrigation methods, water use, and government water offset subsidies.
