119 - Shortstack Branches (with IBAC syrup)

Auspol Snackpod: Australian Politics and Memes

We're much refreshed and back at it again after a week off. Luckily there was juuuust enough news for us to put together a show.

There is a CW for one of our First Nations stories, which involves the name of an Indigenous man who has died at the hands of police. That segment runs from 45:50 - 50:05.

This week we're serving up...

Aperitifs: Morrisons climate targets, COP21, and News Corps' new slightly pro-climate headlines

UFU: Victorian Labor are in trouble over branch stacking after Federal MP Anthony Byrne was questioned by IBAC this week. They also corruptly embezzled $14 000 worth of stamps. It's truly riveting stuff.

Positivity Corner: Queensland renters now are legally allowed to have a pet except in extreme circumstances. ALso, Wilcannia, the Western NSW town that was the epicentre of a corona outbreak, now has zero active cases!! All thanks to the incredible collective response of the community and Aboriginal health organisations.

First Nations: CW from 45:50 - 50:05 for the name of an Indigenous man who died during a police interaction and the sad and horrible story behind it.

We have another First Nations story which is more uplifting about the Wangan and Jagalingou people conducting a ceremony on their land which just so happens to be where Adani wants to build a coal mine.

Check out their websites: https://wanganjagalingou.com.au/ and https://standing-our-ground.org/ and follow them on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/WanganJagalingouStandingOurGround/) and Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/wjstandingourground/)

Blurst Take: Columnist Janet “witch hunts are cool when I do it” Albrechtsen wrote a terrible, terrible hit piece on Grace Tame. Stay classy, Alberchtsen.

And you'll just have to listen to the end for our Pupdate!
