News Fighters

After 5 years and 125 episodes News Fighters is going on indefinite hiatus while I work on other projects. But in the meantime I thought I’d re-release some classic episodes to the podcast feed to recap some of our better, least topical moments which hold up to this day. An incredibly huge thank you to everyone who's listened, shared, guested, hosted and written with us, especially regular contributors Stefan Pazur and Bec Melrose, and Dan Ilic at A Rational Fear.

It’s my fourth annual year in review wrap where I look back on the big Aussie news stories of the year: the floods, the rain, the weather emergencies, the lettuce prices, it’s all here! Also I look back on the May Federal Election, the invasion of Ukraine, China’s Covid Zero uprisings and the Iran protests. Expect hilarious wacky clips and a whole lot of “wait, was that this year?” Also our sports and showbiz reporter Stefan Pazur stops by to look back on the year on the screen and on the pitch.

I look at the diplomatic praise being heaped on Australian Prime Minister Albanese for successfully having a meeting with Chinese President Xi at the G20 and also not being called a liar by French President Macron. Then I take a deep dive into the Victorian State Election where two seemingly left wing socialist candidates are vying to lead the state: Dictator Dan Andrews and Matthew “Lobster with a Mobster” Guy. We analyse their crazy public transport and electricity nationalisation polices and take a look Sky News’ Chris Kenny’s massive meltdown over Dan Andrews promising free period products to Victorian women.

This fortnight I look at the biggest news story of the year: THE LIONS ON THE LOOSE!

Happy Budget Night! Jim Chalmers has delivered his first budget, and it definitely feels a lot gloomier and less shouty than the coalition budgets of recent years.

We look back on the turbulent Prime Ministership of Britain’s Liz Truss from 2022 to 2022. From the stumbles and lowlights to the near economic catastrophes, this is a PM for the history books (or at least the pub trivia nights). Also who’s next and when is the next British election?

After a couple of delays we finally evaluate Anthony Albanese’s first 100 days in office (give or take 37).
