This week on Don't Shoot The Messenger. . .

The Barnaby Joyce Saga continues and while he clings to the leadership of the National Party, the situation is becoming increasingly chaotic and Caro and Corrie have some strong opinions on how the PM has handled the matter. Meanwhile Toby Abbot seems to be making the most of the situation - but to what end?  We delve into great political rivalries after the second instalment of the Bob Hawke documentary 'The Larrikin & The Leader' plus Caro shares some of the memorable moments from journalist Michael Gordon's funeral.

After another horrific school shooting in  the US, we discuss the power of the NRA to influence US politics and look at what Corrie is describing as a 'watershed moment' as students, film stars and even high profile sports coaches begin to raise their voices in protest at the lack of action on gun control by current political leaders.

In Books, Screen and Food - Caro's been reading 'A New England Affair' by Steven Carroll and after seeing several fantastic movies recently admits to being disappointed by the new film 'Phantom Thread'. Corrie takes us on a trip down memory lane (armed with her Mother's well-loved recipe book) and recollections of 70s dinner parties and also shares her Dad's Mint Marinade for BBQ lamb,

Caro's grumpy this week about accidentally throwing out her TV remote with the weekend papers, and in 6 Quick Questions we talk BAFTA fashion, THAT performance of the American national anthem by singer Fergie and ask the question 'Which AFL President is the biggest hypocrite?'.

Caro's 'Crush of the Week' is Lyn Swinburne plus there's a GLT for all of the gardeners out there.
