  • Opening line at Senate estimates

    $3000 a seat was just the perfect opening line. Funny and true!

  • Fantastic

    The work you do is not only entertaining, but of critical importance. Holding the self serving buffoons in politics to account for their abuses of power and the lack of spine. Plus the fact that they’ll only ever seem to support the lobbyist is a critical thing in today’s oligarch ruled system. Well done!

  • Funniest politics show around

    Love the pod - but I don’t understand why you’re blaming Libs for NDIS structural problems? Maybe I don’t know the deets, wasn’t it started by Gillard? But Libs tried to suggest reigning in the NDIS when in government and it got shot down by Labour. Try to keep it bipartisan Punters!

  • Political chats for the everyday punt

    Konrad and James look at issues in Australia that more people need to be aware of. While they don’t cover every terrible thing happening in the news cycle (because who can, honestly), this is one of the few media outlets that provide actionable steps for those of us who WANT to do something but just don’t quite know how to start. Plus, the reels are hilarious, and Konrad is at least 60% hotter than Jordan Shanks 😂

    No mention of genocide in Gaza, the host isn’t concerned with geopolitics of settler colonialism.
