120 - Getting on the Beers

Auspol Snackpod: Australian Politics and Memes

Hello and welcome to Freedompol Snackfreedom, the freedom-based podcast that is no longer in lockdown. It's a jam-packed episode this week! We do have a content warning from 46:40 - 53:00 for a story about the death of an Indigenous woman at the hands of police, so if you don't want to hear that you can skip past it.

We also have MULTIPLE SPOTW award winners, thank you all for your hard work. This week we're serving up...

Aperitifs: Lockdown is over in Melbourne; Candace Owens is invading Australia; ICAC continues to investigate the situation with Daryl and Gladys (you know... Gladys Berryjuicelemon?); Fran Kelly is gone; and Dorinda Cox was sworn into the Federal Senate.

Fashy Australia: the Park Hotel Prison is an extremely dangerous place where a huge number of the people being illegally jailed there are now infected with COVID.

Positivity Corner: Eddie Obeid, and his son and partner in crime Ian McDonald, are all going to jail (again). We have a quick rundown of who is this Obeid guy, why is he going to jail, and... why in the heck did he try to sue ICAC?

UFU: Oh Barilaro, can't you go five seconds without humiliating yourself? Friendlyjordies and his producer Kristo Langker have had a win in court in their ongoing stoush with Barilaro and NSW police, and the cops have had to pay $22 000 in legal costs to Langker.

First Nations: CW 46:40-53:00. There's been a terrible conclusion in the trial of the police officer who shot and killed an Indigenous woman known as JC in Geraldton in 2019, as he was found not guilty and had his identity supressed.

Potluck: Listener Rana sent in a very interesting and detailed potluck about the Greens' new mental health plan and some of the issues they see with it.

Broken Clock: It's always nice to see conservatives fight amongst themselves, and this week we got a leaked zoom meeting of the Victorian Liberals yelling swears at each other. Hooray!

And you'll just have to listen to the end for our Pupdate!
