September 13, 2024 No Care, No Responsibility
On the day we learned that no-one would be punished or be otherwise held accountable for the Robodebt catastrophe, Jo is joined by Anthony Klan, Founder and Editor of The Klaxon, to discuss the Klaxon’s ongoing series into the National Anti-Corruption Commission: its mishandling of the Royal Commission’s referrals, its counter-intuitive lack of transparency and the “recusal” that wasn’t.

August 26, 2024 Breaking Worse

As Dave’s European sojourn continues, Jo chats to Royce Kurmelovs about his excellent new book, Slick: Australia’s Toxic Relationship with Big Oil, an entertaining and enraging look at how the extractive industries plotted to keep mining and polluting even as they knew of their disastrous consequences.
