  • WOKE and Wobbly

    Definitely in the woke, weak and wobbly category. Preared by the teenagers at the ABC who want to over-representi minorities such as our Indigenous cousins. Part of the ABC’s Victim Radio mentality.

  • Did you really use the term Aborigines

    In an episode about raising the age, one of your guest uses a slur against Aboriginal/first nation people. Absolutely disgusted at the lack of consideration and lack of education. If I could give no stars I would. Do better.
