    Good on Hollie Hughes for giving her resignation from the Liberal Party.

    Politics is corrupt as hell.

    Politicians don’t care about us Australians at all- they only care about their pay package.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard πŸš—πŸ™οΈπŸ“»- Friday, 14th August
Q: What is your view on subsidising weight loss drugs through the PBS?
I support subsidies for those with genuine medical conditions who cannot lose weight through lifestyle changes, but I question funding broad coverage for millions who may not have a medical necessity, fearing cost blowouts.
'Incredibly concerning' - Several Sydney Swans players involved in alleged sexual assault
Q: Have the players involved, we don't know how many other than what you say, several, Shane, have they been interviewed?
There has been no information given publicly about interviews; the club and police are not disclosing details as the investigation continues.
'Completely secret' - Bowen questioned over system you don't know about
Q: If elected, would you scrap this scheme in favor of a market-driven, technology-neutral energy strategy?
Yes, if elected, the plan would be to scrap or overhaul the scheme, review contracts, and pursue a market-led, firming-capacity strategy to support reliable energy and jobs.
'Completely secret' - Bowen questioned over system you don't know about
Q: Would you consider working closely with One Nation, not after the election, but before the election?
The approach would be to cooperate with any group where views align, but the broader goal is to present a coalition-aligned policy stance that can beat the current government.
'Lost their way' - Another long-time Liberal heads to Pauline Hanson's One Nation
Q: Do you plan to seek public office under One Nation?
Not immediately; for now he plans to contribute in any way possible and attend to local and party organizational needs while assessing opportunities in the future.
