This week, Bridie, Freddie & Nyah cover Peter Dutton's controversial Gaza comments, new AUKUS submarine developments and the Victorian Government's backflip on raising the age of criminal responsibility. Spoiler alert: we aren't happy about any of these! But we were happy to talk to BFF of the show Sammy J about his year so far, what political role he would take on, how to handle sensitive politics as a comedian and we test his knowledge on the news of 2024.

Sammy J, Visas, AUKUS & Backflips

Zoe covers the thousands of people who took part in the National Walk For Truth all the way from Naarm, on Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Country, to Parliament House in Canberra on Ngunnawal and Ngambri Country.

Bernie discusses the rumored possibility of a socially progressive, fiscally conservative (huh?) 'Teal' party.

Finally, Dana talks about the new wave of 'ISIS Brides' that have returned home and why the term 'ISIS Bride' leaves a bad taste in her mouth (hello year 11 The Wife of Martin Guerre).

Dana goes over the fact that Russia visited China exactly a week after America, dasvidaniya Thucydides!

Deceptive Politics, Thucydides, and the Freedom Flotilla

Can we use Thucydides' account of the Peloponnesian War to guide us on US-China relations? Man who knows, whatever.

Anyway, we also had the privilege of talking to Andrew Bretherton the convenor for Accessible Victorian Greens and a member of Disability Rights & Culture on his experience with the imposed bureaucracy of being a disabled person and what the NDIS cuts actually mean.
