About this episode

The episode discusses the erosion of trust in institutions among Australians, focusing on government policies and societal implications.

Why are Australians losing trust in institutions faster than ever before? In this episode of Branchy’s Real Fake News, we break down the Albanese government’s budget backflip, capital gains tax confusion, digital ID expansion, and the growing frustration pushing everyday Australians toward parties like One Nation. We unpack housing affordability, foreign investment, surveillance culture, compliance systems, and why so many people feel the rules are no longer designed for ordinary citizens. Is this genuine reform… or the slow normalisation of a tracked and controlled society? Capital gains tax explained. Housing incentives exposed. Trust in institutions questioned. 🎙️ A Hard Yarns Podcast PATREON Support The Hard Yarns and get access to exclusive drops, content, live shows and promo codes : www.patreon.com/thehardyarnspodcast FIND US Email: info@thehardyarns.com Instagram: @thehardyarnspodcast YouTube: https://youtube.com/@thehardyarnspodcast TikTok: @thehardyarnspodcast Web: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠https://www.thehardyarns.com⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ SPONSORS The Smart Business Lounge - https://www.thesmartbusinesslounge.com.au…
