  • Content warnings with enough time to press pause please

    I appreciate the content warning flagging csa. However, you need to do far better for survivors. I was driving and there was not enough time after the warning to press stop safely. Furthermore David went straight into extremely graphic content. There is absolutely no reason when discussing csa to talk in such a detailed manner. You have failed in your duty of care .

    Isn’t Angus Taylor just reinstalling the last Dutton Shadow Ministry - minus Dutton, Ley, Joyce, Ruston, O'Brien, McIntosh - the Ley supporters?

    Sussan Ley was the scapegoat for years of incompetence fuelled by media companies telling the LNP all their voters were wrong.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bruce Shapiro's USA, Christian rhetoric in the US military, and Vanuatu's lost numbering system
Q: How does MRFF approach protecting service members' rights without escalating conflicts within the chain of command?
MRFF uses a combination of administrative complaints, inspector general channels, and public accountability, emphasizing lawful, non-violent avenues and the strategic use of pressure to deter abusive practices while avoiding direct confrontation with leadership.
Bruce Shapiro's USA, Christian rhetoric in the US military, and Vanuatu's lost numbering system
Q: What evidence is there that Christian nationalist rhetoric is influencing military command decisions?
The guest outlines recurring instances of sermons and 'Jesus praise' services in high-level military settings, argues this creates a testing ground for religious influence, and notes constitutional protections while describing practical limits and consequences for service members who resist coercive proselytizing.
Anna Henderson's Canberra, Bruce Shapiro on the US attack on Iran, and when books go bad
Q: Bruce, what is America making of this war?
Bruce argues that the US position mirrors a broader global pattern of mixed reactions, with debates within and between parties about legality, congressional authorization, and strategic aims. He notes divisions among Democrats and hawkish factions close to Israel, while warning that the war raises serious questions about executive power and the War Powers Act.
Yanis Varoufakis on war and drugs, and 200 years of the State Library of NSW
Q: What makes the NSW State Library historically significant, and why is its bicentenary important?
Neville explains that the Mitchell Library's growth from a subscription facility to a national archival hub demonstrates how libraries shape national memory and identity by collecting and preserving Australiana, while evolving to serve modern research needs.
Richard Ackland on the antisemitism Royal Commission, the biodiversity of the high seas, and Mawson's scrawled diaries
Q: What is the biggest threat to the world's oceans?
