Sydney's Delta Blow
News Fighters
07/09/21 • 22 min
As Sydney’s outbreak of the Covid Delta strain keeps getting worse, we’re stuck in a Vaccine Hunger War Games (except if you were one of the lucky private school kids who ‘accidentally’ got vaccinated). There’s so many repeats of the stuff ups of 2020 it feels like we’re listening to the same songs over and over again!
Also Comedian Bec Melrose stops by with some funny updates on some dark new stories.

(Note: this episode was recorded before Sydney introduced new restrictions on shopping and travel on Friday, July 9).
News Fighters is a comedic look at the week in Australian news, media and political hypocrisy, hosted by ex-Tonightly and Chaser editor Dylan Behan.
