  • Episode 12: Australian Federal Election 2022 part 2 review
    Apr 28 2022

    Thankfully for all, Kate is back. In this podcast, Kate and Jeremy discuss the ongoing Australian Federal election. Some of the issues that have been raised and Kate has a few questions on Independents, Scottie's popularity or lack thereof and what that might mean, what happens if you live in a so-called "safe seat". And lots more rubbish. A good light-hearted but informative (we hope) look at Election 2022.

  • Episode 11: Australian Federal Election 2022
    Apr 13 2022

    So Jeremy is flying solo this episode as Kate is off on leave. While this is all his Christmases coming at once (a free microphone to talk about politics), he does control himself, though not as entertaining as if Kate was there. A quick overview of the election and some IMPORTANT information to ensure you are registered to vote. Happy campaign everyone.......
