Join us as we embark on a whimsical yet historical journey to 1932 Western Australia in our chapter, "The Great Emu War." Here, we unravel the absurdity of the government deploying the military to tackle an emu invasion on farmlands awarded to post-war veterans. With Major G.P.W. Meredith at the helm, this bizarre episode underscores the extreme measures taken during the Great Depression. The emu onslaught wreaked havoc on wheat fields, and the government's unfulfilled promises of subsidies left farmers desperate, turning this unique conflict into a humorous yet desperate battle against nature's feathered marauders.
In "Bird Problems and Promises," we navigate through quirky topics, juxtaposing the need for love and value with the plight of the emus. There's a humorous appeal to avoid government meddling in bird issues, complete with a pinky promise, and a playful ransom note suggesting a crafty adversary. The episode concludes with affectionate farewells from the Skeleton Army, reminding listeners that our content is purely for comedic relief, and a fun request for a seductive pronunciation of "butter." Tune in for a blend of historical absurdity and light-hearted banter that will leave you both informed and entertained.
