Welcome back to Shouldn'ta Come! But come we have with the second chapter in our series on Australia's notorious B.O.B (Katter). This week we dive into An Incredible Race of People, Bob's 2012 foray into literacy, to learn a bit more about what Australia means to our favourite Lebanese-Australian (don't say that). We also look at some of Bob's interactions in parliament, and his big plans to solve the country's biggest problems (spoilers, it's not not an inland sea to fend off an Asian Invasion).

Stay tuned til the end of the episode for the best Bob Katter joke ever told.

Well hey there! Are you one of the many people confused about North Queensland MP, Robert Carl Bellarmine Katter? Well, tune on in to the first of our multi-part series about the big man, trying to unpick what it is he's actually trying to do. In this episode, we spend a lot of time in the 1800s, meeting Bob's uncle Anthony Arida and the Lebanese Independence Movement.

What's up folks! Do you have issues spelling? So do many Australians! We explore some possible solutions to the crisis facing Australian children, in that they can't read or write. But first, we read through an article from the substack Militarism in the Northern Territory, rounding up some alarming military buildup in the NT.

HAPPY NEW YEAR FOLKS! We are back for another season of Shouldn'ta Come, and we've got a full house today. We go over some events of the last few months that we didn't have a chance to look at, namely the appointment of a Rightwing Psycho to the Queensland Curriculum Board, Concussions, Mike Cannon-Brookes, AI and Surveys, Racism, Armed Zionists and the Selling Off of Australia.

Merry Crisis Everybody! It is the end of the year and we've got a smooth dismount into our little two week break coming up.

Have a nice holiday and we'll see you again soon :)

Hi folks! We're back with our second-last episode of the year, where we're just going to go around some recent happenings—although, obviously, the news has moved on to the other big thing that happened. Anika Wells is the latest Minister for Sport, and politician in general, to be caught up in a scandal regarding the amount of public money that goes to the lifestyles of the rich and dangerous. We then talk more widely about the Social Media Ban—its efficacy and ethi...cacy, I guess. We round out with a brief chat about The Power of One, a shithouse book.

Australia's Racial Discrimination Act, brought in by the Gough Whitlam government in 1975, is an optimistic attempt to legislate away racism in public life, like housing and employment. Section 18c tries to do that with hate speech. And that's perhaps a challenge not befitting Australia's legislative system—or, maybe, any.

We have a look at an ongoing case by the Zionist Federation of Australia's Alon Cassuto against the long-time SBS Newsreader Mary Kostakidis, and Ciaran learns about some of the perhaps silliest 18c cases brought up throughout history.

Welcome back to Shouldn'ta Come! Today we defy all logic to assk the quesstion: Who Iss Sussan Ley?

Sussan is not only the first women to be Leader of the Liberal Party (and the Liberal-National Coalition), she's also the first woman to be Leader of the Opposition, the first woman to do so with a pilots license, and the first woman to do all that and also add an extra S to her name for numerology - sorry - 'teen punk' reasons.

Hi folks! We're back with another episode in the ongoing Saudi Australia series, comparing and (occasionally, but not often) contrasting the two sport-focused countries constructing anachronisms in the desert. How would an archaeologist even begin to approach the Line as a concept?

Saudi Arabia and Australia are basically the same, if you ask the Shouldn'ta Crew, who spend some time looking at the links between Australia and Saudi Arabia, our investment in Weapons Companies, and how many guns we give people doing war crimes.
