For whatever reason, the Tasmanian ALP decided to try its hand at a no-confidence motion which passed...which caused the governor of Tasmania, Barbara Baker, to call an election, the 3rd election Tasmanians have had in a couple of years.

Our un-roving reporter Clancy was keeping an eye on ABC coverage, while we also discussed news topics:

- The Trial of Erin Patterson, and how awful Ch 7 is.

- The death of Bradley Murdoch

- Albo in China

- Mark Latham's unfortunate relationship issues.

What were you doing August 6th 1974? Well, you may not remember, but for 187 of our best and brightest, they were smushed into the House of Representatives of Parliament House to have a mass-debate about 6 Bills that just would not go any further!

Relive the history as Clancy, Feebee and Damo discuss what really was a monumental occasion!
