On this edition of Cory Talks…

It’s a sh*t show in Canberra at the moment. You’d be hard pressed to find an adult Australian who is not aware of the truly disturbing rape allegations in the nation’s capital and a claim of a historical rape involving a very senior Australian government minister and Senator. The Federal Government has a completely different stance on how to proceed (quite simply, closing the case). But Australian’s are angry and upset… and rightly so. I’ll present a timeline of events as they’ve happened since the last podcast.

There will be #March4Justice protest rallies around the country including at Parliament House Canberra on Monday 15th March at noon.

Two Royal Commissions came to an end this past week. A federal one into the Aged Care sector. One state RC into the Mental Health system in Victoria. Making the announcements, Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews. Spot the difference between these leaders. One admitted fault, accepted recommendations and promised change. The other flew into defensive mode.

Australian Senator calls a former staffer a lying cow after making rape allegations.

Triple earthquake off New Zealand and resulting tsunami alert.

Blowout in the cost of Australia’s digital future, the National Broadband Network. It could have cost a whole lot less if politics was not involved.

Western Australia joins Victoria in launching a Royal Commission into Crown Resorts and Casino after a damning report in New South Wales banned Crown from opening a casino in that state.

Australian music industry legend and founder of Mushroom Records, Michael Gudinski has passed away.

The Queen’s video chat to Australia.

Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras 2021 is given the thumbs up despite operating in a COVID safe environment with social distancing.

Trump 2024… please tell me it’s not true!!!

Kayleigh McEnany, the former White House Press Secretary joins Fox News to the amazement of no one.

Dolly Parton in fine voice as she prepared to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
