77 — Fixated Podcasters Unit (7th ed.)

The government is handing their homework in late and we tell you just how Both Parties Bad. Then we step into the Jordies discourse.

 

 

7th Ed.

• The Government released the “7th edition” of a plan to prepare the Aged Care sector for Covid. Turns out editions 1-6 did not exist.
• Aged Care Richard Colbeck stated that “The government maintains it’s position that it has a plan in place”.

LNP Bad

• Normal Guy Scott Morrison is away at the G7, so Nationals leader Michael McCormack get wild with it.
• In January McCormack said the US Capitol Riots are the same as Black Lives Matter, doubling down and saying “All Lives Matter”.
• McCormack also said that the plague of mice should be rehomed to inner-city apartments.
• Scott Morrison is having a great time with all his mates at the G7.
• …while making late night calls to the Australian gas industry to let them know they’re still his number one.
• The Nationals are outraged that Morrison even stood next to leaders promising zero emissions by 2050.
• Fossil fuel industries take more in subsidies than they pay in resource taxes.
• Australia is starting to be seen by institutional investors as “high risk”.

Labor Bad

• The terrible new Online Safety Bill is set to pass parliament. The Labor Party “will be supporting this bill, but we’re not happy about it”
• This week, the ALP voted with the government to open the Beetaloo Basin for gas exploration.
• Shadow Resources Minister Madeleine King thinks both sides are bad on the climate debate.
• The Labor party are saying that the Government wants to take away Medicare.
• Richard Marles says the quiet part out loud — there is no substantial difference between the Liberal and Labor parties on border policies.

FriendlyJordies Okay?

• FriendlyJordies is a YouTuber.
• His producer, Kristo Langker, was arrested by the Fixated Person’s Unit.
• The Fixated Threat Assessment Centre was established in QLD in 2013, and was one of the first units of its type.
• These units have been used to blackbag an Origin Energy whistleblower, and harrass a Greens councillor in Brisbane.
• The Government don’t have a history of using police to attack political enemies.
• Kevin Rudd has written about Jordan… but sitting Labor party members haven’t said a word.
