    08/02/2023

    Will the indigenous Voice to Parliament pass?

    The Greens say yes. Lidia Thorpe says no. Anthony Albanese says yes. Peter Dutton says he needs more information. So just what is the indigenous Voice to Parliament and what will it mean for the way Australian government functions? James Law and Lucy McLeod bring you up to speed in the debate that's dividing Australia's politicians.  Meanwhile, the RBA has ousted the royals from the five dollar bill. The 'dirty Queenie' will soon be confined to the history books. But is it the right move? Should the RBA have made the decision? And what does it mean for the republic campaign? In other royal news, what's the go with the Prince Harry virginity story? We discuss. And finally, the Grammys are here. We've got winners, we've got losers, and Lucy discovers who Bonnie Raitt is.

    The cost of Dom's Nazi blunder

    The Nazi uniform saga that engulfed NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet last week has led to a string of questions. Should he be held accountable for something that happened almost 20 years ago? Should he resign? Why did he admit it right before a state election? Lucy and James discuss all that and more, in this week's edition of Flash Drive.

    From Covid to war to the World Cup: the biggest stories of 2022

    Plague. War. Pestilence. 2022 had just about everything. In this special edition of Flash Drive, Lucy McLeod and James Law go through the biggest stories from Australia, around the world, and in sport, that made ripples in the media. It was a year that started in lockdown, with most of Australia still dealing with outbreaks, and a rush to get everyone vaccinated. But February came, and with it, Russia's invasion of Ukraine. And there were still 10 months of chaos to go. These are the yarns that you'll remember for years to come. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  7. Grow up, we're all over it Meghan

    13/12/2022

    Grow up, we're all over it Meghan

    The new Harry and Meghan docuseries is out and ... well, does anyone care anymore? It was meant to be a bombshell. Tabloids in the UK obsessing over it, people eagerly anticipating the drop but in the end it's a little .. meh? There was meant to be drama. It was meant to be an explosive about the privacy intrusion of life in the world's most famous family but in the end, it's all a bit expected. Lucy McLeod and James Law dissect the disappointment and disenchantment with the latest royal release. Meanwhile in NSW, renters are set for a huge boost with rental auctions set to be banned immediately. Is this a change for the better? And finally, the controversial Bali bonk ban has had another twist, with foreigners sensationally allowed a reprieve, with Indonesia's new sex laws set to spare visitors to the tourist Mecca.    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    People in Victoria still love Daniel Andrews

    Well, the commentators got it wrong. And they're still getting it wrong. Media all over Australia predicted it would be close, and potentially even a Labor loss.  Well, Daniel Andrews and Labor won. Convincingly. But why? It's not just the Coalition's unpopularity, it's the simple fact that people in Victoria still love the man. James Law and Lucy McLeod go over the election that guaranteed Andrews will become Victoria's longest-serving Labor premier, and just why the state keeps voting him in. Elsewhere, Scott Morrison's in trouble. The former Prime Minister will be censured by Parliament for his secret ministries scandal. What was behind his thinking? And what happens once he motion passes? And finally, it's schoolies time! James and Lucy discuss the fine Australian tradition and why this year is being dubbed the 'tamest ever'.
