Luke Seton-DundonHOST
So what do you think? Is this too risky a strategy from One Nation? Have they thought it through? A number of you already having your say on the text line, 0439 757555.
Luke Seton-DundonHOST
Someone else who's been having their say in this debate is author and journalist George Megalogenis.
Luke Seton-DundonHOST
He was on this big panel the ABC had last night talking about this, and we've asked him back to back it up on Triple J. George, welcome to Hack.
Vicki ThomsonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Thank you, Luke.
George MegalogenisGUEST
But, you know, long answer short, Labor now looks like it's responding to her.
Luke Seton-DundonHOST
Luke Seton-Dundon with you on Hack.
Luke Seton-DundonHOST
Also in your ears here, you're hearing from George Megalogenis, author and journalist who was part of the ABC's national forum last night talking about migration.
Luke Seton-DundonHOST
Part of this conversation and a lot of the people listening to us right now will be students.
Allan BehmGUEST
The issue really is that we can be an English-speaking country without being Anglophone, and we haven't worked that bit out yet.
Allan BehmGUEST
Uh, George Megalogenis has just published, as you know, a, a fabulous book and, and, uh, I unreservedly recommend it [laughs] to all of your listeners.
Allan BehmGUEST
No.
Mark KennyHOST
Mm.
Chris KennyHOST
No doubt they hoped for fireworks between Joyce and Hastie, but it didn't happen.
Chris KennyHOST
So there was another panel of so-called experts, and it included former Nationals leader, John Anderson, but he was flanked by Green Left agitator and former immigration bureaucrat, Abel Rizi; Leftist journalist and immigration advocate, George Megalogenis; and human rights lawyer, Nyadon Nyuon, who talked about the immigration debate being divisive.
Nyadol NyuonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And it's not divisive because of the migrant.
Nyadol NyuonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It's divisive because politicians use it as a placeholder to refer to certain group of people as not capable of belonging in Australia.
speaker_3SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Sorry, again, 766,000 people- Yep ... out of the Australian economy- It's gonna impact ... and society for three years- Okay ... you have, you have tanked the Australian economy.
Chris BeerHOST
Economist George Megalogenis on the ABC there.
Chris BeerHOST
You also heard Barnaby Joyce, One Nation's Treasury spokesperson speaking.
Chris BeerHOST
He was undeterred by the swift condemnation of the policy by experts, Labor, and the Coalition, saying Australians are tired of hearing from economists.
David BasheerGUEST
That's a big part of this debate that we're gonna get into.
David BasheerGUEST
George Megalogenis, as you know, has written more about this, uh, migration story in Australia than anybody.
David BasheerGUEST
Abel Rizvi, a former immigration department official, he crafted a lot of the rules.
Fran KellyHOST
Yeah, I've had him on the show a few times
Barrie CassidyHOST
Uh, thank you for that.
Barrie CassidyHOST
But, um, his point is that the, we invariably infer that ru- um, rural people vote the way they do on account of demographics and migration status, which we did in a bit of detail with George Megalogenis last week.
Barrie CassidyHOST
And he said, "I urge you to consider that, uh, we, and that people in, in Wagga and p- places like it, have been represented by the LNP for 50 years, and they've largely sold us out to corporate interests.
Barrie CassidyHOST
And Labor has barely even tried, offering a candidate barely a month before each election and, and then giving them hardly any resources.
Charle MalyconHOST
And if we know what we're looking for, I guess we can treat it and therefore not perhaps experience some of the more extremes of those symptoms.
Charle MalyconHOST
I mean, we have another author in the house, George Megalogenis, who has written a book about the three shocks of Australia.
Charle MalyconHOST
One of them is that, in fact, the largest working group of people in Australia are professional women.
Charle MalyconHOST
So if we're not treating these women at the prime of their life and if they're suffering in silence, I think, you know, even if you are an employer or a policymaker or a husband or a partner or a friend or a sister, it's worth knowing this information, right?
AnneHOST
So that might be a small thing.
AnneHOST
And I did actually meet George Megalogenis many years ago because he did actually for a brief time.
AnneHOST
He was married to a friend of mine.
AnneHOST
So, George, if you're watching, I'm enjoying the book.
George MegalogenisGUEST
A security partner that doesn't necessarily have our interests at heart and a trading partner that's willing to coerce us when it suits it.
Nick BryantHOST
You're listening to Saturday Extra with me, Nick Brown, and I'm talking to George Megalogenis, one of Australia's great explainers about his new book, Three Shocks,
George MegalogenisGUEST
who
Nick BryantHOST
we are becoming in the 21st century.
Angela PriestleyHOST
One of those forces is actually women rising at work.
Angela PriestleyHOST

George MegalogenisGUEST
this very topic.
Angela PriestleyHOST
You talk about three major shifts which have fundamentally reshaped this country.
