As its Australian values campaign rolls on, government MP Andrew Laming wants to update the national anthem, while Cory Bernardi is taking Family First under his generous wing, and on Manus – well, we couldn't possibly comment. With Sky News' Janine Perrett.

Andrew P Street and Dom Knight dip into the Australian people's alleged reservoir of good sense to find Malcolm Turnbull rebranding himself as a warrior for Australian values. Like in the film Reservoir Dogs, kinda. Okay it's a tenuous analogy but what else is there that's reservoir-related?! And they're both Mr White - boom!

Mark Latham's Outsiders is new to Facebook, so the Double Disillusionists have an even more low-fi competitor in the "people talking about politics on the internet" stakes. Maddie Palmer has watched His Outsideness (But Still On A Parliamentary Pension) in action on the prestigious The Internet, and tells APS and Dom all about it.

At our April live event, Jacqueline Maley (SMH) tells us about her curious trip to the Q Society's controversial event in North Ryde, and Chris Taylor (The Chaser) considers comedy in the Trump era. Next event is Tuesday May 2 - tickets on sale soon at giantdwarf.com.au

In a shameless bid for a no-holds-barred panel show, Dom, APS and Mark Humphries launch their own three-bloke anti-PC straight talkfest, 'Rightsiders'. Truth bombs incoming! (PS - the moment we stopped recording, we became aware of a sudden gap in the market - call us, Sky!)

We're doing the show live on the first Tuesday of each month... here's some of our first one for 2017. With leadership speculation surging around Canberra yet again, we cast an eye across the field to replace Malcolm Turnbull. Tony Abbott? Peter Dutton? Julie Bishop? Kevin Andrews, even? Kevin Rudd, if we're going in decreasing order of plausibility?

Our guests are Van Badham (Guardian), Michael Hing (The Feed/triple j) and Alice Workman (Buzzfeed). The next live event is Tuesday 4 April at Giant Dwarf - book now at giantdwarf.com.au!

As the Coalition rushes towards yet another spill, pundits everywhere are wondering exactly which alternative PM can somehow doing a better job of selling the same unpopular policies. Tony Abbott? Peter Dutton? Julie Bishop? Scott Morrison? Scott Morrison's lump of coal? (And there's no guest this week, we're saving 'em for the live show next week - book now at giantdwarf.com.au!)

This week's podcast asks whether we can afford housing and burnimgcoal burning as Richard Cooke (The Monthly) joins us to explain why the Coalition might be tricking Labor into that ol' creeping socialism – and his grand plan to invade WA. ALSO FEATURING lots of plugs for our LIVE SHOWS, just announced for 7 March and 4 April! Book at giantdwarf.com.au!

Ever get the sense that our parliamentarians are fiddling while Australia burns... even more coal? Then again, those lumps ARE fun to play with in Parliament! Dom, APS and writer/broadcaster Maddie Palmer wonder why the Coalition is so determined to run to the right with Forrest Gump-like speed and mental acuity. And consider where the WA Nationals fit into that increasingly crowded sector of our political spectrum.

Parliament's back in action, and so are we for another year of #auspol a-banterin'! Political strategist Dee Madigan (Gruen, PM Live) joins APS and Dom to make sense of Cory Bernardi's departure from the Liberal Party and assess the ever-louder spill rumours – with Dutton rumoured to be loading his spud gun, can the PM stick around for a full term?
