80 — Listen To Auspol Snackpod

The Labor party are really sad without anyone to play with, the government has a new Vaccine ad, Questacon made a bad video.

 

The Labor party wants Scott Morrison

• Anthony Albonese really wants Scott Morrison.
• Julian Hill is worried about Scott Morrison missing.
• Tanya Plibersek is bored without Scott Morrison to play with.
• Stephen Jones drew a little cartoon about his mate.
• Michelle Rowland just wants to see her little friend.

Good news!

• The Government is scrapping their plans to force independent assessors onto people with disabilities.
• The pilot of the project was a disaster.
• The NDIS is still underfunded and still makes access difficult for the people who need it most.

NSW is fine I guess

• In late July 2020, Victoria was seeing 700+ Coronavirus cases a day.
• Now in July 2021, NSW is expecting 100+ cases.
• NSW Police performed a “compliance blitz” in Sydney’s Western Suburbs, while ignoring wealthy areas.
• …repeating the pattern established in 2020.

Vaccine watch

• But it’s okay, the vaccine rollout is only 2 months behind!
• Morrison announced a “flood of Pfizer doses”.
• Pfizer says actually nah.
• General JJ Frewen has be placed in charge of the vaccine rollout logistics.
• The ADF isn’t actually so good at logistics.
• But don’t worry! The government has a great new advertising campaign to encourage vaccine uptake.
• Make the ad more horny!
• Boooooo alcopop tax.
• Listen to Eye of the Enemy, they’ve got a clever bass player.

Questacon con

• Australian Science museum Questacon is spouting fossil fuel propaganda.
• The video series was funded by Japanese fossil energy company Inpex.
• Questacon claims the company had no input in the content.
• Climate change is being normalised by media.
• Why aren’t we using more renewables and batteries? Because we need to use gas as a transition fuel!
• Inpex emitted excess carbon, enough to cancel out the savings from 1.7 million rooftop solar panels.

Actions

• Go back and listen to Episode 74 — Care of Duty: Modern Lawfare, for context on Sussan Ley’s appeal of the case.
• Go listen to Flood’s interview with Cam Coventry on Bob Hawk being an informer to US intelligence in the 70s.
