After a stint on the sidelines, Political Football is back tackling the big issues from Capital Hill to Queensland Country Bank Stadium! Tom and Joe give their report card on the first two of the 47th Parliament and the policy issues which dominated debate. Topics include Aged care reform, paid domestic and family violence leave and the progress towards an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice to Parliament. In the sporting world, Joe gives his two cents about the Sticky Ricky fiasco while Tom is teeing off at the NRL’s systemic bias towards the mighty Wests Tigers, calling for an NRL ICAC! From the trough of Tiger Town to the Gold-cladded campaign of Australia at the Commonwealth Games! For those who say the Commonwealth Games is a futile exercise, to that Political Football asserts it is a grand display of soft power for Australia’s Foreign Affairs cementing bilateral relationships across the Old Empire! Plenty that and more on this episode of Political Football!

Welcome back to season 3 of Political Football! In this episode, we take a look at the impact of the recent floods that have ravaged Northern NSW and South East Queensland. What can be done going forward to build up greater capacity to deal with these natural disasters? We also take a look at the state of the economy, how do we get wages moving to match inflation?. In the sporting world, we dissect the life and the times of Shane Warne after his tragic passing, Uzzie lighting it up on Australia’s Tour of Pakistan and discuss the summer of sport that was. And of course, some rugba leeg to wrap it up as we get the 2022 season under way. Tune in!

After a lockdown hiatus, TP and Boyzo are coming off the back fence with renewed venom as we discuss public trust and integrity in light of NSW ICAC’s announcement of an investigation into Gladys Berejiklian. Is this a win for public trust in government? We answer that question. In the world of rugba leeg, we discuss the epic 2021 decider between the Panthers and the Bunnies. We then look forward to 2022, who will be the big improvers? and who will fall back? Tune in to find out!

On this Olympic-sized edition of Political Football, the boys preview Australia’s chances at the Tokyo Olympics. Who will be household names come next week? Can a budding superstar of the pool knock off the greatest female swimmer of all time? Can the Boomers deliver on the long- lived dream of a medal? Can Ash Barty do the golden double? All these questions answered and more on this cracker episode of Political Football.

I am joined by a special guest host, Isabella Maurici to digest this year’s Federal Budget.

This episode we discuss the contrasting narratives of a strong economic rebound against the delayed and error-ridden vaccine rollout. On the sporting side, we talk all things league and Boyzo hits us with an audacious Nostradamus. Can anybody stop Penrith?

In the season opener for series 2 we look at the source of the issues around Parliament House workplace culture and analyse the implications of the merger of the Family Court and Federal Circuit Court. In sport, we go around the grounds from Melbourne Park to the bare bones of Australian Cricket scattered on the GABBA. As always, your fan questions are put to the hosts who answer them with esteemed professionalism.

TP and Boyzo ‘big picture’ 2020 as the duo dissect the best and worst of an ‘unprecedented’ year in which we saw some great Policy developments but also some that brought a questionable spotlight on the policy making process and its accountability mechanisms. In the sporting world, the boys turn their attention to the first Test of the Summer picking our Aussie XI and we look back on our favourite sporting moments of 2020. Plus a special question time that that left us in stitches.

In a jam packed episode of PF, we analyse the outcome of the US election and what it means for the country going forward. On the domestic scene, we give our reaction to the 4 Corners ‘Inside the Canberra bubble’ episode and what it means for ministerial accountability and responsibility. Sporting wise, Joe and TP breath a sigh of relief as NSW force a series decider and also look forward to the summer of cricket as the 17 man squad for the upcoming Indian tour was announced this week.

After a short hiatus, we are back better than ever. We dive beneath the surface of the Royal Commission into Natural Disasters, specifically the bushfire recommendations. In the sporting world, we cast our thoughts on the Grand Final, preview SOO 1 and also analyse some landing spots for the biggest off-contract stars.
