Aussies used to be british americans, now their all big weenies who collect machetes, you should let your “citizens” own guns
As a long time listener and usually a massive fan I have been extremely disappointed with TDA failure to provide impartial coverage of the genocide in Gaza
Clearly a strongly Jewish / Zionist bias which is entirely inappropriate for Australia
Independent, digestible, concise. The team does a great job - my go to news pod.
