What do Donald Trump, Saudi sovereign wealth, LIV Golf, and the destruction of Adelaide’s public parklands have in common?
According to Max Marten, far more than most people are willing to admit.
In this explosive episode of Max Marten Chats, Max pulls apart the political spectacle surrounding LIV Golf, the South Australian Government’s obsession with global prestige, and the deeper international influence networks sitting underneath the entire project.
This isn’t really about golf.
It’s about:
As the financial foundations beneath LIV Golf begin crashing internationally, Max asks the question nobody in Australian politics seems willing to confront honestly:
Why are public lands, sacred spaces, mature ecosystems and civic trust being sacrificed for a prestige model that may not even survive long term?
Raised by Latvian refugee parents who escaped Soviet occupation, Max brings a deeply personal perspective to the politics of spectacle, influence, and the destruction of continuity in modern democracies.
This episode explores:
This isn't Left vs Right.
It’s custodianship vs spectacle.
Memory vs branding.
Place vs performance.
And once governments begin treating everything sacred as negotiable infrastructure, citizens eventually stop trusting them entirely.
