Episode 07 - Maybe Trickle Down Will Work If We Try It A Bit Longer? (feat Guest Host Cam Smith)

For this bumper episode (aren't they all?) Jeremy is joined by Cam Smith, from the beloved Gather Around Me podcast, to discuss:

- GDP falls by 0.5%: turns out all this sacrifice didn't even get us any growth;
- Libs vs energy policy that would save you money AND reduce emissions
- In Australia vs Humanity, we learn more of the details about what we did to the guy who died from a minor infection, and explore the viciousness of the federal Libs vs a council which scheduled some citizenship ceremonies for NOT January 26
- Ella Webb returns to tell us what's stuck in her craw
- And, as it happens, much more, because we're chatty people.

Oh - and if you wanted an article breaking down how the deficit is pretty much entirely the fault of Peter Costello's 2005 tax cuts, it's here.

Episode 06 - Clown Counsel Has A Deal For You (feat. Ella Webb & a slightly dodgy mic)

Ella Webb joins Jeremy for our sixth episode. George Brandis refuses to answer questions, including

  • did you tell the Solicitor General to run dead on WA's attempt to gazump $300m from the rest of us?
  • did you deliberately sabotage Ella's mic?* and
  • do you support the use of the word gazump?

Also - Malcolm passes some legislation he can pretend is the same as what he said he'd pass; those desperate for the Liberals to succeed pronounce it a "win". Jeremy has some suggestions for how Labor should play this but they're not returning his calls. Brave young Australians protest for refugees, which is clearly an affront to democracy. You won't believe what Australia has been up to in Australia vs Humanity. And Tom Ballard returns to tell us what's stuck in his craw, which leads to a discussion of SBS's "First Contact" and the War on Invasion Day.

*We do apologise for the issues with Ella's mic. It has been ritually burned.

Episode 05 - Use These Words (feat Guest Host Tom Ballard)

Episode 5, and Jeremy is joined by Tom Ballard to discuss not letting the Right redefine away important words we might actually need ("elites", "racism" etc); Dutton vs third-generation Australians; why does anyone believe Dutton's cherry-picked nonsense statistics about anything, the latest monstrous mistreatment of refugees, and Carol Duncan returns to tell us what's Stuck In Her Craw.
