2019 Year in Review & ScoMo gets lei'd into over Hawaiian holiday

12/23/19 • 25 min

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

The war on ONEFOUR & should Aussie hip hop be illegal?

Yo yo yo! It’s summer music festival season so we look at huge Aussie hip hop drill group ONEFOUR, and the NSW Police shutting down their debut national tour, pressuring them into changing their lyrics and even trying to get their music taken down off the internet. Will taking the anti-authoritarianism out of Aussie hip-hop turn us into Russia or China? Or should ONEFOUR just pretend to be old white men so they get left alone? Also ScoMo raps!
