June Patreon Poll

Would be good to add the option for a video on the gambling ad ban campaign. Sounds good but the usual suspects that are promoting it (Teals/greens) make me suspicious of its purpose and feasibility!

Julie Bishop’s relationship with Myanmar is worth looking at https://www.instagram.com/p/DaDjY-qiGC-/?img_index=3&igsh=a2ppc3g3aHJzcWVv

Mate, just remember the time when Gina threatened to nuk western Australia

Something regarding avi yemeni and him calling you out amongst the supposed wokest of both left and right whilst simultaneously suckling on ginas teat https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1ZSV2YT5ft/?mibextid=wwXIfr

If I could've voted for eat an orange naked AND Keating, I would've. So Keating it is

I am (extremely) late to the meeting, I am sorry I missed the June thread suggestion completely... Anyway, I reckon it would be refreshing to learn about Andy Burnham, how he is the opportunity for electoral reform the UK needs. How he may be a beacon to other countries... Burnham's not just some backbencher banging on about reform for clout anymore — he's now the clear frontrunner for Labour leader (and PM), having just won the Makerfield by-election in a landslide and returned to parliament after a nine-year absence. He's also picking a fight on the way up: after Tony Blair published a 5,600-word essay pushing his "radical centre," Burnham hit back in an interview with the Observer (https://observer.co.uk/news/politics/article/andy-burnham-slams-tony-blair-for-ignoring-inequality-in-his-defence-of-radical-centre), saying Blair "doesn't mention inequality once" and that 40 years of widening inequality, not neoliberalism-bashing rhetoric, is what's actually pushed voters to the extremes. On electoral reform, he's gone from vague noises to a flat commitment, telling the Observer "I am committed to proportional representation." His conversion actually came via Manchester's preferential mayoral voting rather than PR itself, but he's landed on PR as the fix for Westminster, and wants an independent commission to get it into Labour's next manifesto. (https://observer.co.uk/news/politics/article/andy-burnham-i-am-committed-to-proportional-representation) And the public mood is right behind him: NatCen's latest British Social Attitudes survey found support for changing the voting system has hit a record 60%, with 68% of people who almost never trust government wanting change, versus just 41% of those who trust it fully (National Centre for Social Research — https://natcen.ac.uk/low-trust-governments-drives-growing-demand-electoral-reform) — telling, given Labour won 63% of seats on 34% of the vote last election. So: a likely-next-PM who's broken publicly with Blairism on inequality and is the most prominent Labour figure ever to back PR, arriving exactly as trust in the system collapses. Feels like a proper episode — is Burnham the real deal, or just better at reading the room than Starmer was?

CFMEU! you get to bash the dumb media and talk up a good union who using the media's image of "bikies in their ranks" to their advantage... They're mostly nerds, wages and ohs nerds with beards and body type of a tradie

Would love a Climate 200 / Teals / Simon Holmes A Court breakdown

The statistics being used in the immigration debate are quite different, depending on who is talking. Lies, damn lies and statistics. I do believe the government numbers. The rise of Pauline Hanson seems closely tied to the increasing xenophobia in this country. Please explain.

While Pauline has been taking up most of the media's attention, did any of you see Angus Taylor taking up Bruz's brumby cause?

CGT "backflip"

Only cause it’s been it the list for the past 3 weeks, you surely have a better chance of “interviewing” (sledging) Howard than Keating. If Karl Stefanovic can do it…

Didn't think of it in time, but it would be nice to get an explainer on who, other than Rinehart, is backing Pauline and what they stand /expect to gain from her potential victory or rise in power.

I would prefer more optimistic content. While deserved I am growing slightly tired of the Hughsey and one-nation bashing and think it’s best to focus more on the good Labor is doing.

paul keating intvew will be fun to watch you two roasting one nation together id pay good money

Data Centers and AI are a treat socially and environmentally. How about looking at social safeguards? As a boomer, I’m not sure that the messy street protests of the 60’s and 70’s would have been possible with the combination of AI having meshed itself into policing, shopping, health records and of course a move to a cashless society. Civil disobedience for the greater good won’t be possible and I see a Huxlian future - and that’s before the damn things drain the water tables. Also, I really want to hear Keating on Hanson and Gina

I enjoy your optimistic content the most.

Who is taking money from Israel? Thats what i want to know. Labor included. I didn’t know I voted for a lispy little Zionist

One Nation bots!

If QLD wins the state of Origin the QLD Update has to go ahead no matter what, dem be the rules.

The closest thing on this list to "Trying to understand Labor's plss-weak response to Isreal" is "Labor and Defence", that's why that got my vote. And please work more Hughsey impersonations into EVERY video - they're just awesome.

I'd want a variation on the Minn's score card. Why not expose how Mark Latham has turned the upper house in NSW into a clown show. Damien Tudehope, the liberal leader, is being led by the nose by Latham and his co-horts of the detritus of the Legislative Council.

Wouldn't mind hearing your take on why Helen Dalton is saying labor isnt doing enough on the murray darling basin issue

I would love to see Jordies deep dive on the infrastructure projects the ALP are doing / building

Youth crime is big in Vic. They just changed legislation a few months ago but I feel like there's bigger reasons for the current surge. Big media and upper class whinge point heading into the election too.

We love to attack policies (or the lack thereof) of rivals. However I think people forget the actual achievements of this Labor government. Time for some policy and party promotion.

I need the orange eating content before my wife leaves me

The Bots/Slop Content Meme Review has to be an ongoing series. Also worth focusing on an ongoing basis on given how astroturfed so much of the online discussion seems to be and how it seems to be part of a deliberate global networked strategy to influence politics

A green energy update is a must. Notice how the media and Libs have gone quiet on electricity prices lately? That's because Chris Bowen's world-leading agenda is paying off MASSIVELY, and faster than anyone (even within the government) expected. Rapid investment in batteries (household and grid scale) has been the game changer. We're only just getting started with batteries, but in the last 12 months they've already invalidated the role of expensive gas plants - the supposed 'transition fuel' for the next 30 years. Batteries are also stabilising the grid. Their ability to instantaneously smooth out energy spikes make them better at supporting 'baseload' power than coal or nuclear. The net result of this is consistently cheaper power prices. Wholesale power prices have basically halved over the last year. At the time of writing, the average wholesale price of electricity in June 2026 is lower than any June since 2020, when the entire fkn national economy was shut down. Prior to that, you have to go back to June 2015 (when the grid was 13% renewable vs. 50% now) to find cheaper prices than what we're getting now thanks to Chris Bowen. These are facts. Yes, this will take time to appear in people's energy bills (especially for majority of iditots who stay with same with the power company forever then blame the government when they get ripped off), and there will continue to be pressures on the grid as the economy grows and we switch off coal. But the fact that we're even having a debate around data centres is proof that Australia has got energy policy right. Energy is the main limiting factor for this technology, and these companies wouldn't touch Australia with a 10 foot pole if they didn't have complete confidence in the current direction of our energy policy. Thank you for attention to this matter!

If you eat an orange naked mid-interview with Keating I'll upgrade to God Tier

Damn I wish I had thought about it in the last thread, love to know more about Twiggy.

Do one on Labor’s faults (if any)

JUST EAT THE DAMN ORANGE

Shame there is no 'Update on Troy VS the Pokies' option. I guess a lot of people want to see Jordie banging on the doors of Keatings estate screeching 'Let me iiiiiiin' like Eric Andre.

Can it be about Gina and be called Fatty McFuckHead 2, or whatever the other one about Clive was called? I'll chip in 10 bucks to your legal defence

Do a pod where you react to the 2015 mini-series House of Hancock. Gina sued to prevent its distribution.

Save VIC from Libs and White Nation. Show how great Labor have been. Melbourne's housing bubble is sustainably deflating. Dan Andrews (Dandrews) handled COVID like a boss and now parties up with Xi. Show what Labor can do when they have the time.

You gotta eat the orange naked man. In the words of Gough Whitlam "it's time"

To be honest, I don't think that much is to be gained from saying 'Gina bad' anymore. Same with highlighting Hughsey's takes. I don't think it's having the impact he (hughsey) thinks it is. Getting back to focussing on the wins the government is having and it's achievements refocuses on optimism and progress, solving problems. That's what people care about.

Please interview Keating with a surprise question at the end asking him about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

I picked 3, one of them was high speed rail because I like Trains

Kyle Sandilands and One Nation please
