Represent

Bridie and Freddie interview Bob Katter! Katter is a politician who needs no introduction, you've probably seen (and heard on our show) all of his attention grabbing stunts and viral moments throughout the years. He's also "father of the house", meaning he is the longest currently serving MP in the House of Representatives for his electorate in Kennedy. He joins Bridie and Freddie over the phone to talk about his thoughts on the budget, how Australia has changed through the years and to give his advice for how young people should get into politics.

Bridie and Freddie are (not) live from Canberra where they're locked away in Parliament House scrutinising over the latest budget. The duo break down the budget we shouldn't have gotten, going over all the promises contained within and fill you in on all the big bits and the most important ones for you.

What are your thoughts on the latest budget? Tell us!!

Bridie and Freddie welcome Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan to the show! They talk all things housing and get the inside scoop on what it's really like to be a state premier.

Afterwards, the duo debrief on the Oscars at the latest Severance and dive into the Liberal's commitment to eliminating work from home for public servants. Wait... they're not eliminating it? Or maybe they are? Maybe they should just job share? We're not sure what's happening and neither is Peter Dutton! But will forcing people back to the government offices really boost productivity?

Then the team dive into the awkward oval office meeting between U.S President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. As the dust settles on a dramatic fallout, who's the biggest loser?

Hear Bridie and Freddie discover their shared love for Severance (your homework is to watch the whole show before next week btw!) then dive deep into two massive spending sprees from our picks for PM.

Albo announced a massive $3.3 BILLION for road and rail projects in Victoria with a focus on the airport rail (our favourite!). The most intriguing part? The funding is immediately available and not tied up as an election promise! What does this mean for the upcoming election and does Labor see Victoria as a battleground state?

Travelling to the past, papers revealed Peter Dutton spent big on bank shares during the financial crisis. The catch? He stocked up the day before the Rudd government announced a massive bailout for the sector. But with this scandal dating back to 2009, will anyone even care?
