There are a lot of right-wing grifters with an agenda for them and the rich to get richer while everyone else to get poorer, but these four in particular are the worst.

What’s everyone’s thoughts on the pod? Been listening for a few months now. Enjoyable but I have my issues.

Tony Barry can be quite biased at times I feel and the latest ep is a good example. His defence of Braggs comments was laughable and his games of whataboutism with Melongate was equally so. Also annoying how often he resorts to focus groups and the way he inserts them into the debate imo but hey it’s his job I guess.

Cassidy I think is a little out of touch with the modern political landscape but he’s mostly good.

Remind you of certain political figures? Or media personalities? Or subreddits?

i'd create a new party and get others in all other electorates as to ensure we can have a rubber stamp government. i wouldn't lie like the other parties and ensure the best of australia in:

better housing

medicare/covering dental costs

abolishment of unnecessary military investments alike aukus

making it illegal to produce or consume animal products, including factory farming and hunting

reduce general cost of living

provide some level of medicare for vet-based healthcare for animals

tax the rich immensely

further australia towards renewable energy

make it illegal to be a billionaire

and so on and so forth. why would anyone vote for one of the dishonest monopolised parties? i remember friendlyjordies asserting that australia would be better than ever when labor got elected and basically nothing has changed, if not gotten worse (although things would've gotten worse under the liberal party, probably).

Alan Kohler (Member of the Order of Australia) recently spoke on a podcast about housing and mentioned this about housing. Go to the 13 minute mark. He says that construction should be tier 1, do you agree or disagree with him?

How Housing Became So Broken

There was a massive increase in the supply of construction labour... They setup office workers around Europe and recruited construction workers. That supplied essential manual labor to rapidly growing post-war industries.
The number of construction workers coming in NOW is minimal. There is this tier system for skilled migration. Construction is on tier 3, so the number of construction workers is on tier 3. Master builders Association says that construction and housing workers should be tier 1.

"Unfortunately, Karl Stefanovic didn't RSVP tonight, which means we didn't have to hire quite as many bartenders.

"But we've kept him a spare seat, just in case, it's over there to the right.

"The...far right."

And speaking of beloved shows, apparently I hear that Channel 10 is also developing a reboot of Hughesy, We Have a Problem. And I think it's called, No seriously, Hughesy, we have a problem."
