17 Aug 2022 | ScoMo, 'what a weirdo!'

Well, one of the most bizarre news stories of 2022 has gotten even weirder today as former prime minister Scott Morrison taking centre stage in an outright odd press conference to deny and deflect any wrongdoing.

Luckily, News Corp national political editor Samantha Maiden joins James Law and Georgie Tunny to explain the completely baffling saga.

What did ScoMo actually do and will there be any consequences for sneakily taking charge of no fewer than five portfolios?

Meanwhile in America, Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago compound has been raided by the FBI in the search for missing documents.

Could this end Trump's re-election hopes for 2024? Or will there just be more chaos in the United States?

And get ready to feel old! The compact disc, the humble CD, turns 40 this week. Georgie and J.Law share their memories of mixtapes, road trips, and high school choons.
