    Sorry Joe. You have a good sense of humour and seem like a great guy … but this has just become a cheersquad/PR vehicle for Albanese.

    Introducing leftist ideologues as “xxxxx experts” is disingenuous. They just walk the party line.

    It’s not funny anymore Joe… real people, real businesses, real industries, real alliances are being damaged by this arrogant, self important government.

    Disappointed that you keep trying so hard to explain it away.

  • I came to the podcast for a listen after listening to the 'Fire at Will's podcast. After some inane LNP gossip, most of the episode was an interview with 'Ukrainian Expert', Misha Zelinsky. Zelinsky and Hildebrand spouted the most simplistic, MSN based nonsense I've listened to in a long time. For example, snickering at Russia and Putin for Stalin portraits but not a mention of the WW2 Nazi killer Stepan Bandera, who has multiple statues and a national day of honour in Ukraine! Trash podcast.
