    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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

'Honest mistake vs convenient' - Leading MPs weigh in on biggest change to drug laws
Q: What happens to people who are prescribed medicinal cannabis?
Prescribed medicinal cannabis users can continue to drive if they are not impaired, and they will not immediately enter the criminal system on a roadside positive; instead, there is a staged process with education, possible warnings, and penalties only if impairment is demonstrated on repeated occasions.
'Honest mistake vs convenient' - Leading MPs weigh in on biggest change to drug laws
Q: How is impairment judged at the roadside under the new changes?
Impairment is not judged at the roadside; the test detects the presence of THC, which can linger after impairment has passed. If detected above the threshold, the driver faces a 24-hour drive ban and a second test at the lab for confirmation, with escalation to penalties if still above the limit.
'Wargaming the system' -David Elliott tees off on alleged dodgy ADF members
Q: But tell me how it's going to work within a battalion.
The guest explains that the transition policy could complicate unit dynamics, with colleagues potentially reacting negatively, which in turn could affect morale and the perceived legitimacy of policy changes.
'People will die' - Leading surgeon slams government medical cannabis proposal
Q: What is your initial impression of what the state government's announced this week?
The guest describes the policy as a real problem due to the death toll and the difficulty in distinguishing medicinal use from recreational use, emphasizing the need for hard impairment evidence rather than just presence of THC.
'10 per cent' - Hastie urges Albo to move beyond EVs in potential manufacturing return
Q: What did you make of the PM's comments?
Hastie responds that while the PM is tapping into national pride, the approach to mandating EV production may be misguided, and he emphasizes a broader strategy for reviving advanced manufacturing beyond EVs.
