WMWS: Thoughts on the Road 02 - "Sometimes when a boat arrives, it actually doesn't"

Bonus on the road episode where Jeremy responds to
- ABF admitting all that nonsense about stopping boats is a lie, and then go with some trippy philosophical speculation about Schrodiner's boats
- Government gives indigenous Australians a giant middle finger as it chucks the Uluru statement in the bin
- Michaelia Cash's slipup isn't just about media revealing sources; it's about the AFP being far too close with the government
- And oh yeah that thing about the Deputy PM being ineligible to sit.

Episode 38 - The Well May We Say Effect (feat Denise Pirko)

NOT featured in this episode, because we recorded on Wednesday: *Barnaby not being eligible* *The government on the brink* *Cash being caught using the AFP to attack the unions* *the government FU to indigenous people* *Border Force admits it was lying and they never stopped boats*

Yeah, we're going to have to do another. 

Well, in this one we had an excellent Stuck In My Craw from Tom Ballard; a bumper Australia vs Humanity in particular on what the hell we're doing to our victims on Manus Island, but also the apparently not satirical news that Australia's won a seat on the UN human rights council; and we discussed the Libs' NEG energy "policy", and what shouldn't be a surprise, further research confirming LGBTI parents raise kids just as well as everyone else.

Episode 37 - Civil Liberties We Weren't Really Using Anyway (feat Tom Ballard)


01:02 If Latham sh*ts in the woods, does it really make a sound
08:48 Civil Liberties you weren't using - the right not to be imprisoned for two weeks without charge, even if you're older than 10. COAG knows we don't need that any more.
23:00 New creepy surveillance powers that definitely won't be abused
30:37 A step forward for housing and renters in Victoria!
40:55 Rigged survey news - church set up to change definition of marriage gives $1m to "no" because changing definition of marriage is wrong; No side has huge sums of cash
52:27 SIMC - self care at a time of national horror - Denise Pirko
57:38 Australia Vs Humanity - Dutton reckons refugees actually quite like his offshore gulags THEY HAVE BEACHES and also they're quite rich but also economic refugees look don't think about it too hard. Also the world that we're told "envies" our brutality turns out not to, and a Guardian-reading pensioner does something good to undo a ridiculous injustice that shouldn't have happened in the first place
01:15:33 Things we didn't have time for (Xenophon quitting Senate, Serco running Centrelink call centres, ABC axes Lateline, federal govt refuses to ban import of Grenfell-style cladding, Tony and volcano gods etc, the Oz seeks Senate be neutered)
