Back in Australia, Barnaby Joyce has been a very naughty boy, Malcolm dreams of profits from war and the ABC stumbles.

In this episode: Gareth and Olly crown their 'stupid political news' champion of 2017, name the biggest stories from Australia, United States and 'Around the World' and talk about everything from the #metoo movement to the Banking Royal Commission and Amazon.

They still find time for 'articles of interest' and one more rant before the year is out.

Thank you to everyone who has made 2017 such a brilliant year for us. We are forever grateful. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

We will be back in 2018.

Take care,

Gareth & Olly
