I've listened to a fair amount of JP's material and while agreeing with some of what he says I remain skeptical of his motivations and his positions on many matters. There is little doubting his intellectual power and presence but his temperament is often imbalanced and rather full of self-importance. Little surprise then that he selects people like John Howard and Tony Abbott (possibly on the basis of Johhn Anderson's recommendations) to extend his global influence to our little corner of the world. At best I would suspend judgement until we see what this group actually do, especially in challenging the WEF; at worst I think we will quickly see one group of elites assembling to provide a "right wing" alternative to the "left wing" of WEF as the WEF is clearly losing popularity, if not immediate influence. You are right to pose this question Rebekah, we need a broad based movement and not allow ourselves to be mere followers of the emerging media influencers like JP who present as opinionated and self-absorbed (precisely the alpha male type he extols) . We also need to realise that the ruling class (global elites) are smart enough to know that various sections of their class can be motivated to provide varying perspectives on contemporary and controversial issues which in the long run will still preserve the heirarchic structure as being the only viable way to run society.
