Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

200: Live in Melbourne ft. Wil Anderson
Q: Do you have a hot take on the Joy Division T-shirt, Wil?
Wil expresses that he feels empathy for Albanese as they share a generational love for band t-shirts, while humorously lamenting the cultural backlash.
198: Greg Jericho on Gaza, superannuation & how he got here
Q: Is it unfair to tax the increase in the value of that farm?
It's not only fair, we should be doing it, as that's not what superannuation is for, it's designed to encourage saving for retirement, not tax avoidance.
198: Greg Jericho on Gaza, superannuation & how he got here
Q: What's the original proposal concerning superannuation?
The original proposal was aimed at limiting tax breaks that benefit the wealthy, specifically targeting massive tax concessions given to high-income earners in their superannuation funds.
198: Greg Jericho on Gaza, superannuation & how he got here
Q: Do you think that this is a kind of strategic move to put pressure on him to continue to intervene?
Yes, to some extent, and it's frustrating that they're praising Trump for a deal that excludes Palestinian voices.
197: 000 Optus outage outrage & let’s look at Larissa’s leadership
Q: Has this changed your view at all about the danger and the threat posed by anti-Semitism?
Larissa Waters condemned violence against anyone regardless of background but reiterated the need to address humanitarian justice and the issue of arms sales to Israel.
