Betoota Talks

Ep 256- Don Walker

We spoke to Bill about a whole range of things from how current Treasurer Jim Chalmers is a shameless plagiarist who has pawned Bill's signature policy ideas off as his own, such as putting the dog up property investors and making tech start up guys quiver in their sneakers. Also returning money to workers and other woke rubbish like that designed to be divisive. As much as Bill wanted to let sleeping dogs lie, we didn't let him. Espeically on the university sector, now that he's compromised by being a Chancellor of the so-called Canberra Uni that they call a university.  So for some raw opinions and an empty promise to award Errol a Doctor of Letters, listen now.

WEEKLY BULLETIN: SOCCEROOS GO THROUGH, Karlos Interviews Bryant, Endometriosis Diagnosis & Bob Katter

This week on BETOOTA TALKS, the former Liberal candidate for Sydney's Upper North Shore, Gisele Kapterian joins to talk about what drew her to the party - and why she has stayed. Kapterian has been put through the ringer in her effort to represent the people of the Bradfield electorate, and it looks like the old guard of the Liberals are just as difficult to win over as the new Teal voters. Is Kapterian the near extinct moderate politicians that the Coalition desperately needs? It looks like a thankless mission, but she's sticking with it
