Episode 205 "WTF are the Greens doing? (feat Nick Carr)

October 19, 2026 by Jeremy Sear

00:01:23 The great Greens hope!

00:02:53 ...dashed. First, Ukraine...

00:05:24 ...and then supporting the ludicrous extra private health extra subsidy for over 65s/

00:08:36 finally taxing family trusts isn't something to be ashamed of or walk away from

00:13:38 talking of Ukraine - did anyone making Australia buy US military equipment notice how the US sabotaged their systems at the critical moment this week?

00:21:26 over 65s aren't going to cancel private health if don't get an extra discount over everyone else, don't be absurd

00:29:00 Green grocers

00:30:40 What we missed

00:32:25 when senators go bad

00:40:43 Middle powers standing up to Israel: ALP has us off to the side covering for genocide

00:42:00 AustraliaVsHumanity we missed incl Australia deliberately killing people on social security

00:43:04 RBA governor's obscene public servant salary - how about some economic populism capping any publicly-funded salaries at a small multiple of the median wage, and also at a smaller multiple of the lowest-paid full time employee

Episode 204 "It's all Connected!11! (feat Nick Carr)"

September 07, 2026 by Jeremy Sear

00:01:36 How to be Heard if you're Not, you know, Fighting For Billionaires

00:05:53 Greens could go after the RBA - the media would love to have them on to call them "economic illiterates" etc, while the Greens could talk through them...

00:27:25 How TF has One Nation gone from 6% to 23% in one year? Exciting new policies? Compelling new candidates? Vast sums of billionaire money, commercial media promotion and online propaganda that were redirected from the LNP after they failed to get Dutton up? Oh, yeah, maybe that one

00:35:29 Hanson goes after gay and lesbian Australians (where the rest of her party just pretends they're "only" going after trans people), showing once again the value of solidarity.

00:37:00 Milo licks the boots of anti-immgrant fascists - and then they turn on him!

00:41:33 The original antifa

00:44:46 Climate disasters now (Nepal) and upcoming (everything Labor's doing)

00:45:17 (aside) AFR complaining about the "unintended consequence" of small businesses that use trusts to avoid tax now having to either pay a lot of money to restructure (and keep avoiding tax) OR having to pay tax - like that's a bug! And Chalmers then treating it like it is!

00:51:26 The "climate footprint" is bullshit - what matters is the climate *shadow*

Episode 201 "It All Comes Together" feat Nick Carr

May 25, 2026 by Jeremy Sear

00:01:59 A listener's fauve-rites (Off the Rails already)

00:03:34 Back on the Rails

00:04:30 RBA raises interest rates expressly to stop unemployment falling (note: to stop it FALLING, not rising), and nobody takes accountability for the awful call

00:20:03 "Let's do the Budget" - Labor remembers capital gains should be taxed, but undermines it by grandfathering everthing and also, you know, brutalising people on the NDIS and starving the poor.

00:28:29 Why incentivising investors to build new houses is an awful idea - they'll stick Australia with shitty rental-quality "new" housing stock for decades

00:39:45 The media campaign to revive the LNP

00:42:18 Angus shows that the LNP would somehow be even worse - promising to whack permanent residents by cutting them off from access to services their taxes pay for; bringing back an indexation policy so bad that Johnny Howard had to undo it when he was Fraser's treasurer...

00:44:40 Australia becomes a new front in the war on trans people - but first, some good news with Giggle v Tickle (No 2)

00:48:55 She could have been Amanda Mander and a man demander, but alas

00:50:00 The "genocidists' hurt feelings" royal commission

00:52:36 The brave flotilla heroes

00:55:30 call for more heroic tales

00:56:06 Stupid dispatches from FART island

01:05:39 Angus's mindless and deeply embarrassing war on trans people

01:06:19 "Define it!" say morons who can't come up with a definition themselves
