Bridie, Freddie and Nyah are back to break down a decently quiet week of Australian Politics. Bridie fills us in on the drama engulfing the Jacqui Lambie Network. Nyah works overtime with two segments on a State vs Council spat and celebrating beginning of our Right to Disconnect. Also, we finally have the numbers on the controversial caps on international students and Freddie has them along with reactions from all sides of the issue.

Plus, we talk Hurstbridge's Wattle Festival, Veep, and a million other random things that have nothing to do with AusPol!

Bridie, Freddie and Nyah are back in the studio for your weekly dose of the week that was in politics!

On our roll call for this week:

Freddie fills in the class on the states vs Commonwealth spat over public school funding and the team discuss whether private schools deserve any taxpayer dollars.

Nyah talks about all the new NDIS reforms. Do you find them confusing? Don't worry, we do too. And governments seem to hate tackling it too. We talk about why.

While we weren't invited to Chicago for the Democratic National Convention, Bridie has been keeping track of it from afar so she can give us all the news from the windy city. Spoiler alert: they're having a great time over there!

Listen in for the latest on the UK and France's Elections (spoiler alert, Nyah's very excited about the hung parliament in France) and an update on the Presidential Debate.

(And of course a long discussion of our weekends!)

Next, the USA Election continues to progress with the Presidential Debate sparking discussions of Joe Biden’s fitness for leadership.

In Europe, France underwent the first round of their election and currently have three major parties in the running. Plus, Olympians are set to swim in the Seine in August, hence a series of investments to improve the water quality.

This week, Bridie, Freddie & Nyah cover Peter Dutton's controversial Gaza comments, new AUKUS submarine developments and the Victorian Government's backflip on raising the age of criminal responsibility. Spoiler alert: we aren't happy about any of these! But we were happy to talk to BFF of the show Sammy J about his year so far, what political role he would take on, how to handle sensitive politics as a comedian and we test his knowledge on the news of 2024.
