Bogan Intelligentsia

On Episode 70 of Bogan Intelligentsia, Honorary Professor of Modern European History at the University of Newcastle and leading expert on Russian and Soviet history, Roger Markwick, joins us to unpack the often omitted historical elements that impact on the Ukraine war.
Drawing on decades of scholarship, Professor Markwick examines the post-1945 roots of the conflict, NATO expansion, the 2014 Maidan events and Donbas war, and Putin’s strategic calculus compared to Soviet-era approaches. He analyses whether 2026 marks a potential turning point, Ukraine’s intensified long-range drone campaign against Russian oil infrastructure, tankers, and logistics centres.

In a sharp and revealing conversation on Bogan Intelligentsia, investigative journalist and editor of The Klaxon, Anthony Klan, joins us to pull back the curtain on the pro-Israel lobby’s influence in Australian politics, media and public institutions.
Drawing on his recent reporting, Anthony dives deep into Jillian Segal’s dual role as Antisemitism Envoy while tied to pro-Israel lobby groups, her family trust donations to the far-right Advance network, and her high-profile appearances at the Royal Commission. He also covers the savage attacks on Sarah Schwartz of the Jewish Council of Australia, the Australian Jewish News article that was published then deleted, aggressive lobbying that led to event cancellations, and the broader push to constrain protest and criticism of Israel.

In this hard-hitting episode of Bogan Intelligentsia (Episode 67), we sit down with Michael West — one of Australia’s most fearless independent journalists and founder of Michael West Media — for a no-holds-barred look at power, influence, and the battle for truth in Australian media. Michael unpacks the explosive BHP court case against MWM and injured whistleblower Simon Turner, exposing how corporations weaponise the legal system to silence reporting. West dives deep into fossil fuel money shaping media and politics, the staggering flow of public funds to the Israel lobby and speaks frankly on transparency, disparities, and influence.

In this powerful and timely episode of Bogan Intelligentsia, we sit down with Laith Marouf — Beirut-based journalist, founder of ⁨@tvfreepalestine⁩ and one of the most consistent on-the-ground voices reporting from Lebanon and the resistance front. Laith delivers a hard-hitting update on the situation in southern Lebanon, exposing Israeli ceasefire violations, double-tap strikes in Tyre, the symbolic occupation of Beaufort Castle, and the game-changing impact of Hezbollah’s FPV drones. He breaks down the reality behind the so-called ceasefire, signs of Israeli desperation, and the critical crossroads ahead: full withdrawal or a wider war involving Iran.
