  • A positive start.

    To be fair it’s the strongest legislation passed to date. 👏 👏 TV advertising will be limited to 3 an hour from 5am-8.30pm, online ads only to be shown to over 18’s with a mandatory opt out option, sporting stadiums ads will eventually be banned and advertising on players’ jerseys will see new restrictions on inducements, celebrity endorsements and employee commissions from gambling losses.

  • So biased and woke

    I can’t listen anymore. I have tried for over a year but the one-sided, hyperbolic rubbish these two keep dribbling out is too much. No open interrogation of the core issues or policy to inform voters, just take downs and gotcha moments of any politician or pole results they don’t align with. Trashing ordinary people who hold opposing views, convinced they are just puppets of social media scions, when they are capable of independent thought. You two just push people further to the right.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

A bestselling true crime author and the crimes he’s accused of
Q: What did the police and courts do or not do about these allegations?
Police pursued investigations in some cases, but prosecutors dropped or did not pursue charges due to evidentiary issues and legal time limits, notably a 2006 report and a CPS decision in 2007 that did not proceed, raising questions about how cases involving sexual abuse and rape are handled.
A bestselling true crime author and the crimes he’s accused of
Q: What were the allegations and who was affected?
Multiple women, including his former wife and at least one teenage student, allege violent abuse, sexual assault, and grooming; families recount fear and brutality, while his own children describe harm and manipulation within the household.
A bestselling true crime author and the crimes he’s accused of
Q: For listeners who have never heard of him, who is he?
He's described as the UK's bestselling true-crime author and investigative criminologist who spent years engaging with serial killers, yet the reporting reveals a darker side involving alleged violent and predatory behavior, including abuse and grooming, and a controversial approach to influencing and manipulating subjects.
David Pocock on the ‘real betrayal’ of Labor’s deal on gambling reforms
Q: What's your view on the balance between reform and vested interests in this package?
There has been a capture of major parties by vested interests, and the package does not deliver the forward-looking protections the Murphy report advocated, leaving the public with weaker safeguards and more costly implementation.
David Pocock on the ‘real betrayal’ of Labor’s deal on gambling reforms
Q: How do you feel about the gambling bill now that it's finalized?
We're nowhere near Murphy; this is a real betrayal of the Murphy report and of Australians who expect stronger protections, particularly against gambling ads that normalize the activity for young people.
