  • 11 — This episode is up so I guess podcasts are an essential service

  • Former National Party leader Barnaby Joyce said snakes are more of a threat than coronavirus.
  • Radio goblin Alan Jones has called Coroanvirus the “health version of global warming” (which means he thinks it’s a hoax, not that we need dramatic action, right now).

  • 10 — The gang self isolates

    There's a looming pandemic and the energy is weird. We talk about police violence, the closure of the AAP, and how to survive coronavirus.

    Policing
    • New South Wales Police Minister David Elliot is under investigation after the release of photos showing him firing and illegal submachine gun.
  • The Police Minister has previously said he would want his own underage sons strip-searched by police if they were suspected of possessing drugs.
  • New South Wales Police are complicit in a regime of strip searches of underage children and teens, without appropriate support or presence of legal guardians.

  • Industrial Relations Minister Christian Porter has suggested that casual workers without paid sick leave are well prepared for coronavirus because “they are paid extra in lieu of entitlements”.
  • Italy has suspended mortgage payments during the coronavirus outbreak.
  • An effective response to a dangerous oncoming threat will look like an overreaction in hindsight, as the reaction to the Y2K bug has been incorrectly presented (the Headlong podcast has a good history of the response).
  • David Walsh’s statement on the cancellation of the Dark Mofo festical is an excellent, clear-eyed assessment of the risks of going forward.
    • AAP Closing
    • The Australian Associated Press has been closed, the majority of journalists laid off.
  • Some of the AAP journalists have been re-hired by Nine News and News Corp as freelancers, saving them money and stopping competitors from accessing their work.

  • 9 — Corona? Barely even knew 'er (International Women's Day)
    Shell is posting cringe on International Women's Day, Missy Higgins' dad has Coronavirus, and the Australian government continues their efforts to make corruption a national sport. We try to make sense of the chaos in this blockbuster episode.
    News
    • All fires are out in New South Wales!
  • It’s International Women’s Day. Celebrate with the horror of this Shell ad.
  • Never forget that International Women’s Day began as a socialist celebration of working women.
    • Coronavirus
    • Vox has a detailed and readable summary of what we know about COVID-19 so far. Here’s the direct source for what the experts are saying. The Australian government website is good for a just-the-facts summary of symptoms to look out for and best-practice precautions.
  • Missy Higgins dad has COVID-19, but didn’t meet the health department’s guidelines for testing.
  • Australians are panic-buying toilet paper. As Buzzfeed reports, it started as a media scare, now its becoming a real panic.
  • Panic buying and hoarding is bad for everyone else. It prevents people who are living paycheque to paycheque from being able to purchase the things they need.
  • The poorest people in our society — people on casual work and without sick leave, are also the people who come into contact with the most people.
  • The Liberal government has a history of trying to make it harder for the poorest Australians to the access health care they need.
  • Jeremy Poxon of the Unemployed Workers Union has interrogated Centerlink on the requirements they will place on unemployed people under quarantine, with no clear answer. They have a bad record on this, cutting off the payments of bushfire victims.
    • Government corruption
    • Penny Wong has accused Scott Morrison of being “up to his neck” in the corruption of the sports rorts.
  • The liberal party attempted to shut down on questions by calling the word “rorts”, “unparlimentary”.
  • Angus Taylor, the government’s minister for Energy and Emissions Reduction, was not interviewed by the Federal Police, after his office falsified documents for a fight with Clover Moore, mayor of Sydney.
  • Taylor’s business interests have also raked in $93 million of state and federal funds during his time in office.
  • In extra promoted to guest star news: Glenys Beauchamp, who was in the episode last week destroying documents, has now been found intimidating an academic whistleblowing a data breach of 3 million Australians.
  • Anne Rushton, government’s Minister for Families and Social Services refused to say that Australia’s social security system should not cause harm to the people within it.
    • Bushfires and climate change
    • The Morrison government is dropping funding to an international emissions research collaboration.
  • … along with the Bushfire & Natural Hazards research centre.
  • It appears that the much-hyped $2 billion bushfire relief fund may not exist. Only $400,000 has been distributed so far.
  • Angus Taylor (who loves to take $93 million of taxpayer money for his businesses) is trying to keep the Liddel coal power station open to at least 2026, even though it’s not economical.
  • The Australian government has not done modeling of the economic impact of climate change until at least 2013.
  • The gas power plants in Australia have been running at 30% of capacity for the last 18 months — and yet the government are calling for more to be built.

  • 8 — Stop the floats

    The Liberal party's float at the Sydney Mardi Gras was targeted by protestors who were ejected from the parade. We discuss the Liberal party's history of policies that hurt the LGBTQI community, and the Labor party's lack of spine on both gay marriage and climate change.

    News

    Australia is still on fire, but all of the fires in Victoria and New South Wales are contained!

  • The “sports rorts” scandals roll on, showing more and more evidence of corruption and coverups.

  • Channel 10’s report on the sports rorts shows that Scott Morrison was involved in making decisions about grant allocations.

    Superannuation and wage theft

    After an “amnesty” on unpaid superannuation, 7000 companies have admitted to underpaying their workers.

  • Employers are now calling for an amnesty on wage underpayments.

  • CEO Dan Price pays all of his workers workers at least $70,000 a year. Decent, living wages can work!

    Mardi Gras, the police and the Liberal Party

    Protestors were removed from the Sydney Mardi Gras by police after targeting the Liberal Party float.

  • Correction: In the episode we say that the Liberal Party float depicts Captain Cook and the Endeavour. This was actually part of the protest, which makes it much more cool.

  • The Liberal Party has a long history of opposing gay marriage, refusing to apologise for past genocidal policies, and pushing for protection for religious bigots.

  • The first Mardi Gras in Sydney, in 1978, faced shocking police violence.

  • The NSW Police—known more recently for their strip-searches of unsupervised minors at public events—had cup cakes. So they must be nice right?

    Why the Labor and Liberal parties won’t act on climate change

    Joel Fitzgibbon, the Labor party shadow minister for resources is a big fan of coal.

  • He is also pushing for the Labor party to move further right and remove Anthony Albanese as the current leader.

  • The Labour party takes lots of money from fossil fuel interests.

  • On the Liberal party side, Angus Taylor the Minister for Energy and Emissions Reduction, is taking subsidies away from proven clean energy sources.

  • …while still subsidising fossil fuel industry to the tune of $29 billion.
