  • CORY TALKS: S02 E11

    On this edition of Cory Talks... With just a few weeks to the Queensland election as donations scandal has hit that states opposition party leader, Deb Frecklington. I should create a new segment called, stupid sh*t the US President says because this week through either drugs or his natural, perhaps unnatural lack of sense has made him say lots of kooky stuff. To borrow a saying from the Orange Idiot, "you're not going to believe it". New Zealanders prepare for their General election this weekend. No huge gaffes to report there thankfully. Anger that some university course costs to go up. One independent pollie fears it will put higher education out of the reach of many. Former Abbott Government attack dog, Peta Credlin drops a truth bomb. How politics almost makes telling bald faced lies palatable. The hoped for major easing of lockdown restrictions in Victoria from Monday seems destine to disappoint like an episode of Channel 10's The Bachelorette. The flattening of the COVID-19 curve has not progressed as well as expected, while some still think getting back to normal right now is a good idea. Seems like there might be a correlation between the two. New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian has confessed at an inquiry of being in a relationship with a fellow MP she sacked for corruption. But because she's a Liberal Premier, the media goes easy on her saying it's a personal matter. The hypocrites ignore that she'd lied. Apple launches yet another series of expensive iPhone's... yes, I'll probably buy one. Pre-ordering starts at the weird time of 11pm this Friday (AEDT). Plus how to get around a hacked sex toy. Well it's the 21st century, so obviously hackers are targeting adult products.

  • CORY TALKS: S02 E10

    On this edition of Cory Talks... Following the Australian Federal Government's 2020 Hope, payer and jobs budget, there's anger at the people it leaves out. Most notably half of the population. Also New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian is pretty angry herself. NSW businesses flouting COVID-19 rules has caught her eye. The Vice Presidential Debate this week between VP Mike Pence and nominee Kamala Harris was not as fiery as the first Presidential Debate... thank goodness. Seems like there's not going to be a second debate between Trump and Biden because the orange idiot is having a hissy fit over not being allowed to do it in person, on account of him being infected... with COVID-19 too. Never a dull moment in Victorian politics. Premier Daniel Andrews still copping it from the state opposition, but more so this week from the Murdoch press and fellow biased media outlets. There is some smoke there, but is there a legitimate fire the Andrews Government needs to attend to? Nearly 100 year old ice cream treat to get a new name. Australia in the dirty game of making weapons for war. Former US Mayor, Pete Buttigieg turns the tables on Fox News hosts.

  • CORY TALKS: S02 E09

    On this edition of Cory Talks... Federal Treasurer Josh Frydenberg handed down the 2020 Budget in Canberra yesterday (Tuesday 6 October). It was a budget speech that included the word jobs, a lot! Immediate tax cuts, but you have to make at least $45,000 a year. A budget for people who already have money is the way it seems to me. Kiwi's not in favour of lowering the voting age with just over a week until the New Zealand general election. Trump is out of his hospital bed and back in the White House... that place is going to need to be fumigated before January 20! What you do when you come face to face with a guy holding a hypodermic needle in his hands. Victoria holds its breath the sanity prevails, and further lockdown laws can be eased on October 19. Google plans a global fund for news stories. Is it enough? Will it work?

    On this edition of Cory Talks... The virus that US President Donald J Trump called a hoax, then would magically disappear in April, the same virus he played down despite knowing how dangerous it was... yes that virus, COVID-19. The President and First Lady now have this hoax liberal media coronavirus. Oh and the First Lady is now the Grinch who stole Christmas! The Australian Federal Budget is released this coming week. High deficit and expected tax cuts for those who can afford to be paying tax... what could possibly go wrong?!?!? Victorian opposition minister Tim Smith, otherwise known as Dim Tim is still on his crusade to bring down state Premier Daniel Andrews and the Labor government, at all costs. Even risking the health and wellbeing of Victorians. The first Presidential Debate for 2020 was described by CNN reporter as a sh*t show. While many have called for it to be the first and only US Presidential Debate this cycle, there's going to be at least one or maybe two more. Again... what could possibly go wrong?!?!? Australian government ministers are putting more public money at risk by approving funding for projects with a lack of oversight. I'm not talking about Rupert Murdoch and his dodgey News Corp, Fox News, Sky News propaganda machines, so that should be a relief. I know it is for me. A Royal Commission investigation into the failings of the Aged Care sector in Australia, a sad indictment of incompetence and putting money over the aged. That's just my assessment. The final report will be less damning. Let's see if the Australian government acts on the recommendations from the RC. Australia lost a treasure this week. RIP Helen Reddy.

  • CORY TALKS: S02 E07

    On this edition of Cory Talks... The rate of COVID-19 case in Victoria continues to drop which is very encouraging. While the state is not out of the woods yet, it looks like there could be some major changes to the lockdown laws in the coming weeks if we all keep getting tested and do the right thing by ourselves and other. Talk of a travel bubble between New Zealand and Australia is back on the agenda. You can still download the TikTok app in America... at least for the time being. How to keep occupied and help family and friends during a pandemic. It's time to get creative. Donald Trump's America... he really takes that title seriously. I guess it could be his if he just got rid of the votes. YES! He actually said that.

    On this edition of Cory Talks... BREAKING: Victorian Health Minister Jenny Mikakos resigned on the weekend after Premier Daniel Andrews' testimony at the inquiry into the handling of hotel quarantine in the state. If you're an Aussie Rules footballer or family member, should that entitle you to special treatment during COVID-19 times? A robodebt for one Centrelink Disability Support Pensioner that can never be paid. ABC News Online readers help out Melbourne man Raiyan Chowdhury. It's my good news story for this episode. National Broadband Network about face from the Federal Government. Aussie cricketer and commentator Dean Jones dies of a cardiac arrest in India.

  • CORY TALKS: S02 E05

    On this edition of Cory Talks... The COVID-19 positive cases are falling in Victoria, which means further easing of lockdown restrictions could be lifted soon. The news out of the US is not so rosy on the death toll and reports show Americans are angry... with the President. Lawyer X Niccola Gobbo, the Police informant secretly returned to Australia to give evidence in the Royal Commission which is damning against her and Victoria Police. Deputy Premier from New South Wales, John Barilaro takes a break after imploding and threatening to break apart the Liberal/National coalition in his state. I don't think you have to be a Numerologist to believe in numbers, but one Trump supporter is adamant that COVID-19 is all a hoax. And could British actor and producer Tom Hardy, who has been in films such as Black Hawk Down, The Revenant, RockNRolla and Star Trek Nemesis, be donning the tailored suit to star as the next James Bond 007?

    On this episode, an economics warning for Australia has been issued. Yes, I know, just what we need right now in the midst of a pandemic.
    Victoria Police have shown poor judgement and actions during an horrific arrest in Melbourne.
    Politics in Queensland gets personal with the Premier and Chief Health Officer both being targeted by death threats. Western Australia gets a mention this week, and it's not positive. New South Wales government in trouble with fighting from within their coalition arrangement with the Nationals. #SuperBarilaroBruz has been causing headaches. He's taking four weeks off for a mental health break.
    It seems the Chinese government have not only been spying on Australia but also New Zealand... even Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern's parents!
    The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting... well you know where this goes.
    Jeff Thiomas on Vero True Social and I have another interaction on the social platform over Donald Trump.
    Speaking of American politics, I have a podcast recommendation for Wondery's series, American Elections: Wicked Game. Hosted by Lindsay Graham (the good one). If you want to hear a series about every single American election, this is the show for you.

    This is a big episode of Cory Talks. Lots to discuss aboutCOVID-19, particularly in my home state of Victoria where thankfully things are improving after suffering through the second wave of the virus.
    The Prime Minister demands a woman is allowed to her father's funeral, the Queensland Premier accuses the PM of bullying. Respected former Victorian Broadcaster, Jon Faine writes a piece in the newspaper that asks for people to do the right thing and stop blaming the Premier for everything.
    Trump caught out in a lie... yes I know, another one. But then so is his Press Secretary.
    I've been a bad boy and this could be the last podcast. The Police are after me... well at least that's what the scammers wanted me to believe.
    Our very own cold war. Australia and China at odds over journalists and freedom.
    I call for the Chief Executive Officer of Australia Post to resign. I haven't written to her, but I'm sure she listens to the podcast ;-)
    Plus a podcast for scares and imagination from Hawk and Cleaver's The Other Stories - www.hawkandcleaver.com

    The Australian Government's battle with Google and Facebook over news source revenue.
    Another week, another seven days of attacks on the Andrews government in Victoria as the number of new cases continue to fall, but #covidiots protesting their lack of freedom at the expense of everyone's health.

    Australia's ex-PM (thankfully), the onion eater Tony Abbott scores UK gov job.
    A quake rumbles New Zealand.
