The ghost of Morrison, Fascism USA, and political football in Tasmania

The ghost of Morrison, Fascism USA, and political football in Tasmania

In this episode, we unpack the shocking decision to award former Prime Minister Scott Morrison the Companion of the Order of Australia, despite his disastrous COVID-19 response, economic mismanagement, and culture war legacy – raising serious questions about the integrity of Australia’s honours system. We explore the deepening chaos in the US under Donald Trump, including the National Guard’s shooting of Australian journalist Lauren Tomasi, and ask whether it’s time for Australia to reassess its alliance with an increasingly unstable superpower. Back home, Anthony Albanese launches a productivity and economic growth summit amid calls for real reform, not recycled neoliberalism. We also cover Australia’s long-overdue sanctions on two far-right Israeli ministers, and the farcical state of Tasmanian politics as a billion-dollar AFL stadium sparks yet another snap election.
