A wide ranging episode. We look at the natural disaster that has been unfolding across California and the unacceptable response from the White House in regards to Climate Change.

Speaking of the White House, we'd like to, but we can't go past the current scandal that has erupted between the reality star president and the reality star ex-staffer. It's Omarosa vs Trump: Round 1.

In Australia we deep dive into the maiden speech of Fraser Anning and look at the motivations that may be driving his racist remarks.

We also talk about the Great Barrier Reef, asbestos and Big Foot! Yep, the hairy one makes his appearance in 'stupid politics news'.

The leadership spill in Australia had not happened when we recorded. We will be looking at how that has played out in the next episode.
