Episode description

Meta is like can we just not talk about politics right now? Tom is joined by guest host, viral political advocate and filmmaker Jack Toohey! First up they recap the results of the Tasmanian state election (21:41). Is it now Van Greeman’s Land? Then they look at the government’s new religious discrimination bill (34:27). What’s the point of this? Will the mean media finally be nice to Labor now? Next, youth hero Holly Valance is out smashing lefties, and Janet Albrechtsen has thoughts (53:15). Finally, a call to action (1:12:52).
