News Fighters Dylan Behan

In the mono: With Scott Morrison on holidays, Nationals leader Michael McCormack became acting Prime Minister for a week, and he wound up acting like a fool: attacking black lives matter protestors and job seekers while also standing up for his misinformation posting backbenchers in the name of free speech.


And joining us for a chat during Presidential Inauguration week is Planet America’s Chas Licciardello. What will be Trump’s positive legacy? What is Biden going to face during the next four years? And what happened to Chas’ snack-based instagram account?

We’re back for 2021 and still talking about the damn pandemic! In this ep we look at the Brisbane lockdown, the Victoria lockout and Sydney’s infected bottle shop. Also Albo’s car crash and ScoMo’s tone deaf New Years message.

Jobs, tax cuts, record deficits, zombie businesses, irresponsible lending, axing kids TV shows, blow cushioning - the 2020 budget really has something to confuse and annoy everyone!
We break down the big night and look at all the ideologically driven policies designed to turn Australia into a nation of nothing but tradies and landlords.
Also: an update on paid pandemic leave!
