078 - Bangers & Mashless Welfare Card

Auspol Snackpod: Australian Politics and Memes

It's the end of Parliament for the year, which means its shenanigan central in the nation's capital. We read so many dang reports this week, on electoral reform, industrial relations, the destruction of Juukan Gorge, the Christchurch shooter... we even have some non-report based news! For mains we're looking at the Indue Cashless Racist Card, plus we have updates on the covid vaccine situation, and a bunch of other stuff. We also discuss the death of a trans person who was part of our community at the end of the show, we give a heads up before we start that if you'd rather not hear it.
