This video introduces the Australian Alert podcast, a rebranded media project by the Australian People’s Party (formerly the Citizens Party) that critiques neoliberal economic policies. The speakers primarily condemn a reported secret plan by the Victorian Labor government to privatize Melbourne Water, comparing it to past "policy crimes" that they argue stripped the public of valuable assets. By tracing the history of privatization from the 1980s to the present, they contend that such moves are deceptive "wealth transfers" to private entities like Macquarie Bank rather than genuine efforts to reduce state debt. Additionally, it highlights the Commonwealth Bank's record profits as evidence of the need for a publicly owned bank to serve community interests. The report concludes by celebrating the release of whistleblower David McBride and calling for continued public opposition to the expansion of ASIO surveillance powers.
