This week on Karl Weekly.
Karl is in London as British politics is thrown into turmoil, with Keir Starmer out and a leadership battle now underway. As Nigel Farage's Reform gains momentum, Karl asks whether the same political shift is coming to Australia.
Barnaby Joyce joins Karl to discuss the political upheaval in Britain, Labor's agreement with the Greens and why he believes it could further undermine the Australian dream. He also weighs in on the growing dissatisfaction with the major parties and what it means for the next election.
Former Neighbours star Holly Valance shares why she believes Britain has lost its identity, why Australia is following the same path and why she's backing conservative voices pushing for change.
Then British cardiologist Dr Aseem Malhotra discusses his concerns about the COVID vaccine rollout, his work with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and explains why he believes Shane Warne's death may have been connected to the vaccine after reviewing the post-mortem findings.
Plus, Karl takes aim at the political outrage over billionaire donations, arguing Labor should be held to the same standard it demands of others.

Tommy Robinson joins Karl Stefanovic for one of his most extensive interviews yet.
One of the UK's most controversial public figures, Robinson has spent more than a decade at the centre of debates over illegal immigration, Islamist extremism, grooming gangs and the limits of free expression. Admired by supporters as someone willing to challenge the establishment and condemned by critics as a divisive political activist, he remains one of the defining figures in Britain's culture wars.
In this candid interview, Robinson reflects on his time in prison and solitary confinement, the impact of being removed from major social media platforms, his views on Elon Musk restoring debate on X, the failures he believes have fuelled public anger, and why he says Britain is undergoing a profound political and cultural shift. He also discusses Reform UK, Nigel Farage, the future of conservatism and why he believes millions of disillusioned voters could reshape British politics.
The pair discuss:
• The resignation of Keir Starmer
• Britain's immigration debate
• Grooming gangs and policing
• Free speech and censorship
• Prison and solitary confinement
• Elon Musk and X
• Nigel Farage and Reform UK
• Why millions of Britons don't vote
• National identity and the future of Britain
• Australia's political parallels
Whether you agree with him or not, Tommy Robinson remains one of the most influential and divisive voices in Britain's culture wars.

The pair also discuss:
• The UK Labour Party and the future of Britain
• National security and public safety
• Policing and recruitment standards
• Discipline, resilience and accountability
• Why young people need purpose
• Modern society and changing values

A powerful conversation with one of Britain's most recognisable former Special Forces soldiers.

Australia is facing a crisis of leadership – and according to this panel, voters have had enough.
This week on The Karl Stefanovic Show, former Special Forces commander Heston Russell and political commentator Calista Clements join Karl for an unfiltered discussion on Australia's political direction, national identity and the growing support for One Nation.
Heston explains why he believes Australia has ‘politicians, not leaders’, why the country's shared values are being eroded, and why more Australians are turning away from the major parties. Calista reflects on leaving the Liberal Party, her criticism of corporate diversity initiatives and Islamic finance, and why she believes voters are searching for political consistency.
The panel also tackles the latest developments surrounding the Ben Roberts-Smith case and Section 268 of the Criminal Code, with Heston arguing the changes have deepened mistrust within the veteran community and raising concerns about the implications for current and former Australian soldiers.
The panel discusses:
• Australia's leadership and values crisis
• Why One Nation is surging in the polls
• Pauline Hanson's political resurgence
• Why voters are abandoning Labor and the Liberal Party
• Australian values, immigration and national identity
• NAB's Islamic finance controversy
• The Ben Roberts-Smith case and Section 268
• Veterans, war crimes laws and military accountability
• ISIS brides and Australia's repatriation policy
From political leadership to national security, this is one of the Karl Stefanovic Show's most wide-ranging and provocative political panels yet.

This week on Karl Weekly.
One Nation is climbing in the polls with Pauline Hanson now featuring as preferred Prime Minister in new polling. Fresh off her National Press Club address, Barnaby Joyce joins Karl to discuss why One Nation is surging in the polls and why more Australians are turning away from the major parties. He reacts to the dramatic protest that interrupted Hanson's speech, explains why he believes she emerged stronger from the event and shares his concerns about Labor's economic direction.
Then former US Defence Intelligence officer Dr Dennis Desmond reveals the hidden world of digital surveillance. From smart devices and doorbell cameras to Chinese-made vehicles capable of collecting your data, he explains how governments and corporations know far more about you than most Australians realise – and why it matters.
Former NSW government economist Derek Francis returns with the whiteboard to answer your questions about Labor's proposed tax changes. He argues experts have been shut out of the inquiry, challenges the Treasury's modelling and explains what the reforms could mean for investors, retirees and everyday Australians.
Plus Karl weighs in on fresh claims surrounding Ben Roberts-Smith, questions Australia's treatment of returned ISIS brides, and reads your messages about the budget and the growing frustration many Australians are feeling.
