  • Democracy Season: The Final Countdown!
    It's the FINAL COUNTDOWN! Guys, we've made it. After 6 long, somewhat agonising weeks, we're on the home straight. With election day this Saturday, Brigid and Josh get together to discuss what's happened and what's possible come 6pm on Saturday night. We also answer a question or two, as well as try to provide some peeeeeeace and chill, because voting stress seems to be a bit of a vibe out there (and who can blame you!)

  • Who Stole the Bishops'.... Statement?

    No, sir, it was not I!

    We didn't steal it, but we're excited to break open the 2022 Australian Catholic Bishop's Election Statement! As we approach the last few days of the campaign, Brigid and Josh are excited to do a (somewhat) deep dive into "Towards a Better Kind of Politics," written by Archbishop Mark Coleridge on behalf of the Australian Bishops. This document lays out some key, topical issues that have come up throughout this election cycle, and presents something of the Catholic perspective on these issues. Join Brigid and Josh as they discuss these issues and as they join with Pope Francis' cry for a better kind of politics!
