John MacKenzie chats with Senator Matthew Canavan about Woolworth's controversial decision not to stock Australia Day merchandise this January 26th.

The Woolworths decision has been labeled as "woke" by many Australians who have expressed their outrage. In response to the backlash, the supermarket giant has gone into overdrive with advertisements rationalising its new policy.

Senator Canavan courageously speaks out against this divisive move to quash Australia Day.

John MacKenzie chats with Michelle from the Speewah Tavern about the Queensland Emergency Management Levy, designed to cope with disaster-affected relief and support.

The levy was introduced by former state premier, Anna Bligh, and according to their website the "Emergency Management Levy (EML) is applied to all Queensland property via council rates to ensure there is a sustainable funding base for fire and emergency services when Queenslanders are at risk during emergencies such as floods, cyclones, storms as well as fire and accidents."
