    GUESTS: Alex Antic, Liberal Party Senator Avi and Rukshan catch up with Senator Alex Antic to discuss Australia's Orwellian misinformation and disinformation bill as public submissions draw to a close at the end of the month. The proposed legislation risks stifling free expression through vague criteria for what's deemed harmful content. While supporters claim it's aimed at 'safeguarding' societal integrity from false narratives without curbing valid debate, the bill places the government of the day as the arbiter of absolute truth. They will also discuss the news of the week from Australia and abroad.

Avi describes what life looks like for locals as they find themselves caught up in a historic battle which is showing no signs of stopping with tensions sky high in the Middle East.

    Craig Kelly unloads on the AEC — The Opposition Podcast No. 16

Kelly, who has previously been raked over the coals by the AEC, unloads on the authority, which now seems docile and toothless in reprimanding the other side of the political aisle, leading to widespread outrage from more conservative voters and continued accusations of political bias playing a leading role in the referendum. The group discuss the constant stream of controversies the AEC has had to run damage control over as the Yes23 campaign tries its best to win back public support while the majority of Aussies question the motivations behind the push for constitutional change.
