  • Stop with Trump/US Politics Focus

    Unfortunately I couldn’t find anywhere else to provide feedback on episode basis.

    I like the overall show, but starting to get really annoyed with the US-Trump focus. We just need to know the winner and policies that impact Australia/World, not the White House Retirement home useless drama.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Can The 20-Point Plan Deliver Peace In Gaza?
Q: Can you just talk us through what the promises are in this 20-point plan?
Cameron Stewart provided an overview of the 20-point plan's framework, emphasizing its attempts to balance needs without fully satisfying either side, and noted key players involved, including Trump and Blair. He argued that it's a sensible and realistic plan, which addresses urgent needs and humanitarian crises in Gaza while offering a potential pathway to Palestinian statehood without guaranteeing immediate results.
The Dark Side of the March For Australia
Q: Did that make you think that these rallies weren't necessarily about migration as they were about race?
Yes, definitely, as the rhetoric during the rallies indicated a focus on race rather than migration itself.
The Dark Side of the March For Australia
Q: What were your thoughts firstly on the day of the rally and the days leading up to it?
The community was warned to be vigilant and stay at home due to fears of attacks, particularly directed at the Indian community.
Vladimir Putin 'Pantsed' Donald Trump in Alaska
Q: Where is everything at? How far along are we? Has any real substantive progress been made in finally getting an end to the war?
There's been a lot of theatre with both backward and forward movements in negotiations. Ultimately, Trump's failures may push him further into supporting Ukraine than before.
Australia kicks out Iranian ambassador
Q: What exactly is going on with Richard Marles' sudden trip to the U.S.?
Richard Marles' rushed trip to the U.S. was likely related to strengthen diplomatic relations and to ensure that plans for a meeting between Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and President Donald Trump were set in place amid rising geopolitical tensions.
