This week it’s just Pat and Tim, the way God intended. Unencumbered by guests, they rage about the resposne of the government to the protest on Sydney Hamas Bridge; the rising tide of Naarm Nazism; the cowardice of Bendigo Writers’ Festival adopting a stifling definition of antisemitism in their code of conduct; and Christos Tsiolkas’ delightful article on the benefits of fencesitting.

It’s a quick one; when Pat gets back to Boorloo we’ll be back in the Castro saddle and giving five-hour diatribes.

Thanks as always to Dan Dare: producer, friend and defamation prophylactic.

Song is No Strain by the Southend Rainbows.
