  • Dangerous misinformation

    This podcast is riddled with misinformation, biased, harmful, at times dangerous rhetoric that feels like something that should be coming out of the worst end of American politics. I feel embarrassed that this is coming out of Australia.

SUNDAY - Bob Katter’s warning about Australia’s migration mistakes 🇦🇺
Q: What is your stance on migration and assimilation in Australia?

EXCLUSIVE - Premier Chris Minns facing $24,000 bill 💰
Q: Has the invoice been sent yet or is it still in process?
The invoice has been sent to the Premier and through his portal, signaling formal escalation and a request for payment while signaling that the costs will be borne by the Premier if not resolved.
‘Cash for votes’ - Gerrard Rennick exposes the major parties 🗳️
Q: How would you describe the impact of increased per-vote funding on minor parties?
The per-vote funding mechanism effectively amplifies the major parties' resources while potentially freezing out minor parties, because major parties can recover and maintain funding irrespective of grassroots support, making it harder for smaller groups to compete.
