  • Summary

  • On our latest podcast episode, we dig into the intriguing appointment of Samantha Mosstyn as Australia's new Governor-General. Mosstyn, an outspoken activist and committed republican, has raised eyebrows with her past prolific tweets on X (formerly Twitter) advocating for a republic. Interestingly, these tweets were deleted shortly after she was informed of her new, generously salaried position. This brings up a compelling question: how can one reconcile being a staunch republican while serving as the King’s representative in Australia? Is this a case of practical politics, or does it smack of hypocrisy? Join us as we unpack the complexities and controversies surrounding this appointment.
