US media titan Tucker Carlson and leading Australian businessman Clive Palmer are joined by American filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza and Queensland GP Dr Melissa McCann for the Australian Freedom Conference.

The event covers a range of topics, including current and future threats to truth, democracies and personal freedoms.

Once the anchor of the highest rating cable news program, Tucker now runs his own successful media channel, the Tucker Carlson Network, where he has interviewed some of the world’s biggest personalities, including Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“Tucker has long advocated that news coverage in the west can be wrongly used as a tool of repression and control,” Clive Palmer said.

“He believes democracy cannot function properly under these controls and the only solution to ending propaganda is fearlessly speaking the truth. I’m delighted Australia has the opportunity to hear from Tucker and our other speakers on this informative national tour.”
