This week, Pat and Tim talk about the Sabsabi decision, the solidification of anti-protest reactionism across the world, and the transformation of the ALP into a Party of Order and domination. We talk about the brutalisation of Hannah Thomas and Tony Burke’s response; the practice of “slave day” in East Coast schools; and the changing structure of Labor’s branches.

We are still on opposite sides of the planet still, and Tim is at his little Marxist summer camp; so the audio is a little cooked. But Dictator Dan Dare is in again to save the day.
