This week we are taking on the slightly terrifying new entrant into Australian political life - Reignite Democracy Australia. Its founder, Monica Smit, has gone from having the political skills of a hessian sack to a serious operator in the fringe activist space. While she absolutely still cannot spell to save her life, she is gathering up a genuinely impressive amount of followers that appear to be more than happy to give her quite a lot of money. While she has her detractors, and we are in those ranks, she is absolutely galvanised by a torrent of support and the ability to absolutely ignore criticism in all its forms.
In the news we look at powernerd Bill Gates new scallywag image and look at the use of the 'Donald made me do it' defence used by the q-shaman - and why his lawyer said they take the 'short bus'.
We have a new segment called antivaxxer update because, well, they keep on doing funny dumb things.
Pete's invitation to the senate is on shaky grounds but he was so busy posting about chemtrails, he didn't notice!
Enjoy!
