Show Notes:
In this timely and thought-provoking episode, Ben Law sits down with John Anderson—former Deputy Prime Minister, generational farmer, and host of one of Australia’s most influential podcasts—for a conversation every values-driven farming family needs to hear.
Together, they explore the slow erosion of the very virtues that built Australia: responsibility, self-sacrifice, financial prudence, family unity, and moral courage. As global stability fractures and population decline accelerates, John offers a sobering but deeply insightful take on what it will take for Australian agriculture—and the nation itself—to thrive in the decades ahead.
You’ll hear:
- Why the “liberal world order” that underpinned Australian prosperity is breaking down
- The looming population bomb—and what it means for food production, labour, and succession
- How national complacency is threatening our freedoms, finances, and future
- Why families on the land must rediscover the grit, stewardship, and leadership that once defined us
This isn’t about nostalgia—it’s about rediscovering the foundational virtues that secure both family legacies and national resilience. If you care about your farm, your family, and the future of this country, this episode will leave you challenged, inspired, and more determined than ever.
