Click on Anneke, Omar and Jordan "This pod was recorded just after Trump gave the Iranians 48 hours to avoid the destruction of their entire electricity network, and Iran responded by threatening the water and energy infrastructure of the entire Middle East. So hopefully by the time you’re listening to this ep the internet still exists and World War 3 has not yet begun. In that case, we try and break down what the hell is going on in the Strait of Hormuz and generally with this war, and how the US and Israel are sending the whole planet into a political, military and economic meltdown. We then discuss the implications for all this on Australian politics, including the rise in petrol and grocery prices, the despicable RBA’s decision to increase interest rates, the far right lies about city-dwellers hoarding all the fuel, and what a genuinely pro-working class government could do in this situation. We then look at the surge in support for Hanson in the recent SA elections, and analyse how the hell we got to a point where One Nation is the main opposition party on the right, and how the ALP is responding by emphasising a very tepid form of liberal multiculturalism. We wrap by discussing our very successful anti-Hanson door knocking campaign in Melbourne over the weekend, where nearly 200 people got together to talk to people in working class and migrant communities in Melbourne’s outer suburbs, as well as the strong results for the SA Socialists in their first ever electoral run."
