Some Australians who took to Twitter after Bannon’s interview weren’t so sure about the revolution prediction, however, with some suggesting that Americans like Bannon were known for thinking they were “God's f*cking gift to the world” and could tell other countries what to do.
Former Trump advisor and right wing firebrand Steve Bannon, who has been sharing his political philosophy in a series of interviews across the globe, has claimed that Australia is a "hotbed of populism" and is ripe for revolution.
In a contentious interview with ABC's Sarah Ferguson, the former executive chairman of the conservative Breitbart News website, said that the West was in the midst of a
"populist national revolt" and that the global revolution was
"coming to Australia" soon. His comments echoed those he made recently in Europe, where he envisions helping to form a pan-European far-right political bloc.
Bannon's major focus in the interview was on China and its relationship with Australia, which he said had been
"too much of an appeaser" under former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull, who was recently ousted by his own party and replaced by social conservative Scott Morrison.
