Summary

In this episode of El Niño Speaks, José Niño is joined by James Saleam, a veteran Australian nationalist and leader of the Australia First movement, for a deep dive into the forces reshaping Australia’s political landscape. Saleam recounts his decades in activism, including the role of Australia’s security apparatus in targeting nationalist organizations, before explaining why Australia First rejects the fantasy of a purely parliamentary road to national renewal.
