This week, the l*ds talk about the stupid, dumb and idiotic reporting on the CFMEU by king rat Nick McKenzie and Geoffrey “Wages Are a Gift” Watson. They also talk about Sega World Green Bans; the Eternal Howard and his enduring influence, the cultural hooliganism of older Australians, disagree about Patrick “Name and Nature” White, and why you should join the Socialists :) If you’re interested in the “Bread and Roses” NSW caucus, slide into DMs or emails.

This week, the fellangists are talking about the rise to the Shadow Khanate of Genghis Taylor and the encirclement of Sultana Sussan Ley after her abandonment by the various slimy Viziers of her erstwhile cabinet. In other Turkish news, Drew Pavlou was “Drewported” from Amerikkka for the simple sin of threatening Billie Eilish with being briefly in his presence. They also talk about the importance of Irish and Italian people in Australian and world history, the feminist credentials of PHON, and the contradictions of the class orientation and culture war credentials of the LNP.

This week the fell*s talk about the violent Pali Rally that put police officers in an impossible situation, and the heroic efforts of the cops to restore order.

This week, the B*ttlers talk about the shiny new hate speech laws, which were minted the day after we recorded. We talk about how the coalition have managed to turn victory into a colossal autocucking, which has properly materialised in the days since Monday. We also remind you of the importance of looking at C(ordite) P(ublishing) on your computer, and discuss the “dissolution” of the dirty-diapered N@zi party.

In this week’s episode, Los Guerreros talk about the precipitous idiocy of a “Royal Commission” into an attitude. As always, things have become six times stupider since the podcast was recorded, so listen here for the talking points you’ll need to use when people bring up the Royal Commission that has actually now been announced. They also talk about the wonderful country of Venezuela and its obscure, evil Northern Neighbour; their beloved bigheaded Pakistani comrade DrewP and his gallant defence of freedom at a protest in Sydney, met with a deplorable act of police aggression (pictured); and chat terminal shit about Jane Austen, Alexis Wright, James Joyce and Ezra Pound as if the mics had been switched off.
