Former Prime Minister John Howard joins Karl Stefanovic for a wide-ranging conversation on the state of Australia, Labor's political challenges, the housing crisis, migration, One Nation's rise and the future of the Liberal Party.

Howard reflects on why Australians are losing trust in major parties, whether Labor misled voters on tax policy, and why he believes housing affordability is fundamentally a supply problem. He also weighs in on migration levels, assimilation, Australia's national identity and the growing popularity of minor parties.

The pair discuss:

• One Nation's surge in the polls• Labor's tax changes and voter trust

• Housing affordability and negative gearing

• Migration, integration and social cohesion

• The future of the Liberal Party under Angus Taylor

• Government debt and spending

• Why voters are abandoning major parties

• Donald Trump, Nigel Farage and global political trends

• Why Howard remains optimistic about Australia

One of Australia's longest-serving Prime Ministers reflects on the biggest challenges facing the country – and what comes next.
