News Fighters

As hundreds of thousands of Australians join the dole queue, Prime Minister Scott Morrison urges everyone to stay at home to avoid getting the coronavirus... but you know, also keep going to work to keep the economy moving! Also our former Aussie Prime Ministers claim credit for doing nothing, pop star Robbie Williams goes karaoke-crazy and electronics retailer Gerry Harvey urges us to keep shopping!

In the first part of our final episode of 2019 we look at Prime Minister Scott Morrison spending the bushfire season drinking cocktails in Hawaii while Australian burns in a massive bushfire emergency.

Then we look back at all the hilarious wacky clips and gaffes in politics and dumb Aussie news in 2019*. From baby Yoda to Barnaby’s meltdowns to bushfire smoke to Hong Kong democracy protests to Greta Thunberg’s climate strike and ScoMo’s White House state dinner, look back on the year and weep... hopefully with laughter! (* may contain four elections).

Also includes a look back the year in pop culture with special guest Stefan Pazur (host of the World of Wackypedia podcast: https://soundcloud.com/wackypedia)

The year is almost over but not without one more election episode of News Fighters, this time from the U.K. (sorry Bougainvilleans!)

Is this election about Brexit, the NHS or is it just one long argument over whether numbers are a left wing conspiracy? We look at all the hilarious and headache inducing gaffes from the campaign so far and then dial in author and the producer/presenter of Russell Brand’s Trews Reports, John Rogers to give us some actual election insight and analysis.

To see the gaffes watch this episode with clips on Youtube here: https://youtu.be/4FAQF3inO-o
