Can you imagine ever messing up so bad you loose your privileges for two decades? ASIS can. In 1983 with the box office blockbuster filling our screens with bad ass guys with pow pows doing bad ass stunts, ASIS got it in their heads they should have a go at playing their own Mission Impossible style war games, with hilarious and embarrassing results. ASIS really did show their whole ass with this one.

Of all the things to bring down a government, who woulda thunk it coulda been some succulent shellfish and a dram o'whiskey? While Australian politics is often wired, wacky and downright befuddling, so rarely is it also so painfully human. Whomst amongst us hasn't missed an important deadline cause we had the tummy rumbles, aye?

Welcome to 2 Girls 1 Garbage Can, The Auspol podcast that attempts to explain the trash fire state of modern political discourse by giving it some much needed historical context and a giant dose of irreverent humour.

Shock election outcomes have become somewhat ... less shocking these days. Media reports don't seem to have a clue whats what, and the pollsters themselves are admitting defeat. But often what seems shocking at first glance can be explained in great detail with the aid of hindsight. .. And two trash-heap trash hot political commentators to help parse through things of course

Many Aussies view politics much as they would a team sport, rehashing all victories and championing their team no matter the obstacles. But much of this rhetoric is based on a misremembered history, only believable if viewed through rose tinted glasses and a haze of 'special' smoke. Does anything we believe about our major parties stand up to scrutiny?

On this weeks episode of 2Girls1GarbageCan we examine the true story of strike action in Australia to try and work out if Labor's apparent desertion of the workers is really all that new.

In the second half of our episode looking into Australia's immigration policy through history, Tamara and Matty examine the incident on the Tampa and it's legacy on Australian immigration policy today.
