    Episode 68

    Episode 68 of In The Shed is a big one. Mick and Chris take on the mining lobby, the anti-union hysteria around ETU organising in the Pilbara, and the nonsense being pushed by politicians and commentators who reckon workers asking for fair pay is somehow “wrecking the economy”. We explain: • Why workers at BHP and Rio Tinto are organising• How protected industrial action actually works• Why mining companies are terrified of unions• Why Australia gives away its gas and resources while ordinary people struggle• Why taxing giant gas exporters could pay for housing, health and education If you are sick of billionaires, lobbyists and politicians telling workers to tighten their belts while profits explode, this episode is for you. #InTheShedPodcast #UnionStrong #Pilbara #BHP #RioTinto #GasExports #AusPolitics #WorkingClass #Solidarity

    Episode 67 – War, Propaganda & Who Really Pays

    In this episode, Mick and Chris take on the latest escalation in the Middle East and the narratives being pushed around it. From “it’s not a war” messaging to AI-generated misinformation flooding social media, they unpack how propaganda is shaping public perception in real time. The discussion digs into: The long history of Western intervention and its outcomesThe economic interests sitting behind global conflictThe role of media, AI, and political messagingWhy working-class people always bear the costThis episode doesn’t pretend to have all the answers—but it does challenge the narratives and calls out the patterns. No war but class war.

    Episode 66 – Power, Politics and the Billionaire Class

    In this episode Mick and Chris tackle some of the biggest political flashpoints dominating headlines right now. The conversation starts with Australia’s new hate speech laws and the growing concern about how criticism of governments, movements, and political ideologies could be criminalised. From there the discussion moves into the politics surrounding Israel, Zionism, protest movements, and the idea of “social cohesion.” The boys examine how quickly political narratives can shift — and who benefits when they do. They also break down: The role of media in shaping public opinion The rise of Pauline Hanson–style populist politics Why culture wars distract from economic inequality The power of billionaires in modern politics And what the Epstein files reveal about elite networks and accountability At its core, Episode 66 asks a simple question: Is the real political divide left vs right — or top vs bottom? Raw, unfiltered, and exactly the kind of conversation you’d expect In The Shed.

    Episode 64 – Purple Pingers, Housing, and Class War

    This week on In The Shed, Mick and Chris sit down with Jordan Van den Lamb — better known online as Purple Pingers — fresh off the launch of the Tasmanian Socialist Party. We dig into: The housing crisis and why empty homes exist alongside homelessness Artificial scarcity, land banking, and who actually benefits How capitalism turns basic human needs into profit streams Why productivity has nothing to do with wages The failure of governments to act — by choice, not mistake Why unions matter more than ever How fascism grows when it’s left unchallenged This isn’t a polite chat.It’s a class analysis of the world we’re living in — and why it doesn’t have to be this way. If you’ve ever felt like the system is rigged… that’s because it is.

    Episode 65 – Empire, Propaganda & Who Really Pays

    In Episode 65 of In The Shed, Mick and Chris return with a wide-ranging, no-holds-barred discussion on power, empire, and how tragedy is exploited to protect the status quo. We examine the Bondi attack and the immediate political and media response — including the weaponisation of antisemitism, the silencing of criticism of Israel’s actions in Gaza, and the complete refusal to address root causes. This episode covers:• The link between Gaza, imperialism, and radicalisation• Media hypocrisy and political opportunism in Australia• Why anti-Zionism is not antisemitism• Venezuela, sanctions, and the global resource grab• Trump, ICE, and the collapse of the so-called “rules-based order”• How class power — not culture wars — explains what’s happening This is a confronting episode — but an essential one. If you’re tired of shallow commentary and want context, history, and class analysis, this one’s for you. 🎙 In The Shed — politics without the b******t
