22 July 2022 | Is the honeymoon over for Albo?

Covid is back with a vengeance, the economy is in freefall, and people are begging for help with the rising cost of living; suffice to say it's been a chaotic two months since Anthony Albanese took charge of the country.

Georgie Tunny and special guest Andrew Bucklow discuss how the Albanese government has handled the pressure so far and if they're rising up to the challenge of leading Australia through a turbulent period in history.

They discuss the hesitance to re-introduce mask mandates, that Covid disaster payments backflip, the length of isolation and more.

The climate is also once again making waves after the release of a new report that shows the dire state of the environment, and the revelation the Morrison government hid it while they were in power. GT and Bucky discuss how Australia is receiving this news, and just how to try and stay positive and make change while in the midst of an unfolding climate crisis.

And finally, it's not all bad news. After 20 years in the wilderness, Bennifer returns. That's right, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are back together, but why should we care? Should we care?
