February 19, 2022 Episode 10: Grace Tame Speaks Out, ScoMo Apologises, The Religious Discrimination Bill Get Shelved.
As usual, this episode contains frequent swearing, and we do discuss both Grace Tame and Brittany Higgins, two high-profile sexual assault victims. That Clancy has a potty mouth.
One of our listeners has requested some sensitivity about how we discuss Grace Tame so I have chopped the episode up - so yes, it is out of order. That's what the beeps are for.
Introduction: 0:00 - 1:30
Grace Tame Discussion: 1:32 - 4:02
Parliamentary Apology: 4:04 - 11:02
After 11:02, we get back to normal. Normal for us, anyway.
Topics covered:
- Grace Tame accuses the Australia Day Council of asking her to make a promise to not say something bad about PM Scott Morrison.
- The Parliament of Australia officially apologises to the women abused and harrassed in Parliament in the course of their duties, as per
- The Religious Discrimination Act isn't dead...but maybe already is.
- CitiPointe Christian College puts their foot in their mouth.
