Episode 41 - the ghoul returns (feat Alex Lum)
We recorded this on Wednesday night, before the latest atrocities on Manus, and also we were not aware of the very good news that would have made a lovely chaser - that Streets caved and you can now buy GayTimes and Splices again.
So instead we covered
- the Ruddock investigation into just which indefensible new religious rights should be imposed on us
- Malcolm's attempts to hang on for a few more days by proroguing parliament and offering some tax cuts
- Barnaby prefers his dodgy payments in the form of giant novelty cheques
- Queensland state election
- Victorian euthanasia debate and Northcote result
- Australia Vs Humanity: international attention on our atrocities; cholera risk at Manus, NZ proposal maybe not as dead as threatened?
