    Gina Buys Into Channel 7, Anti-Corruption Boss Under Investigation & The "Death Tax" Scare Campaign.

    02/06/2026 | 56 mins.
    This week, billionaire mining magnate Gina Rinehart tips in a cool $26 million to help a former Channel 7 executive grab a 10% stake in Australia's second biggest broadcaster, just as the anti corruption boss who was supposed to be finding dodgy politicians gets investigated himself for allegedly being dodgy. We break down how Australia's second highest media concentration in the world keeps getting worse, why the National Anti Corruption Commission has found zero corruption in three years despite 7,000 referrals, and how corporate media ran a textbook death tax scare campaign over a testamentary trust policy that affects 5% of the wealthiest Aussies while everyday punters defended billionaires in the comments.

    Pauline's 'Revolutionary' Gas Policy, Coles GUILTY at Last & The Budget Panic That Wasn't

    26/05/2026 | 1h 3 mins.
    This week, Princess Pauline Hanson bravely takes the stage at the gas lobby's own conference to announce her "Norway-style" gas policy — written, by her own admission, in consultation with the gas producers themselves. We break down why her 10% royalty isn't remotely the actual 78% Norway charges, how Sunrise spent a week peddling a fake death tax while Nat Barr accidentally realised on-air that everyone's negative gearing is grandfathered, and how the federal court just found Coles GUILTY of running the Down Down scam on punters.

    Albo Buries Kids' Gambling Report, BHP Sues Broke Miner & The Budget's Hidden $95 Billion

    19/05/2026 | 57 mins.
    This week, Albo bravely protects his NRL gambling buddy by burying a landmark kids gambling addiction report under 4,000 pages of budget spreadsheets while journalists were literally locked in a basement. We break down how the government sat on gambling reform recommendations for 1,049 days, why Pete V'landys and the NRL are raking in gambling commission cash, and how a unanimous report calling for a blanket ban on gambling ads got watered down to an opt out online system that does absolutely nothing.

    Housing Debate:Is our System Broken?, Albo's Empty Gas Promise, & The Knock Off Tour Recap

    12/05/2026 | 1h 44 mins.
    This week, we recap the "Tax Gas Not Beer" tour and tear down Albo’s hollow gas reform—a policy that raises zero dollars and won't even kick in until after the next election. We also dive into a heated housing showdown between economist Richard Dennis and developer Jack Henderson, debating everything from capital gains tax to whether the government can actually build affordable homes.

    The Karl Stefanovic Debate Breakdown & Why I Won't Do It Again

    05/05/2026 | 1h 11 mins.
    This week, Konrad breaks down his appearance on the Karl Stefanovic Show podcast where he was ambushed by Senator Susan McDonald, the shadow resources minister, in what turned out to be a debate he never agreed to. We go through the full uncut interview, score the political manoeuvers, expose the gas lobby talking points being recycled by politicians, and reveal why this setup was designed to turn a popular policy issue into a culture war distraction.
