Our heroic Prime Minister orders a second "urgent" enquiry into the ABC after a scary almost-terrorist shows up and says a thing on TV in a spooky marijuana-beleafed snapback; we pick apart the proposed changes to the Citizenship Act; old people are probably definitely being used as ice-mules by drug traffickers; gay marriage still hasn't happened in Australia; we check in with Beatrice Milde to have a look at her tasty new recipe; and we talk to a doctor(?) about the groovy new legislation regarding reporting abuse in offshore detention centres, the Border Force Act.

Tony Abbott is going to appoint a Wind Farm Commissioner because he is a genius; the NSA aren't allowed to indiscriminately collect everyone's data any more; tampons and other menstruation-related products are maybe not a necessity; Lindsey delivers a lesson in Hockeynomics after Joe Hockey tells us to get a good job; Wikileaks wants some ‘o dat Trans-Pacific Partnership; Gillian Triggs has the audacity to do her job again; ASIS maybe paid people smugglers to Stop The Boat; and we plug some important stuff.

Marriage equality excites the Parliament after Ireland legalises it; Labor pulls out some questionable numbers from a highly respected modelling institution; Australia once again shows that it's unwilling to share in any responsibility for desperate refugees around the world; and Thomas finds out the truth behind The Gay Agenda.

Glenn Lazarus becomes the third independent Senator to start their own political party of one; we get an exciting look into the police raid at the house of a double-dipping woman who basically committed fraud; Jamara Porkwell reports on Cory Bernardi's food certification Senate enquiry; we air the trailer for the exciting new blockbuster, 2016: The Reelection; and we get structurally enthused about the 2015 budget with our exclusive interview with a Treasury spokesperson.

Due to unforeseen laziness outside of our control, The Weekly Hour team wasn't able to do a show this week. But rest assured that I middle managed the hell out of it anyway. Instead I've put up a clip you kids might enjoy. Enjoy! Enjoy. - Morgan

Fred Nile is up to his wacky antics again; a woman manages to successfully carry out a pregnancy, to the delight of the entire world; the Australian Greens get a new leader, but no new controversy — much to the disappointment of every media organisation; Tony Abbott probably didn't do a homophobic thing, but Fairfax really wish he did; the Herald Sun tell us about another "selfish rabble" who organised a protest completely unrelated to their own interests; and Thomas finds out the truth about halal certification, and how it definitely funds terrorism directly, definitely.

Thomas goes to Canberra to discover the truth about renewable energy, but finds a dark truth about our nation's capital that no-one could have expected; a football reporter is fired from his football job for tweeting about ANZAC Day, which is not, as keen observers may have noted, related to football; Kim Kardashian takes a stand on the Armenian genocide, unlike the US and Australia; Channel 7 buys some footage of a man attacking footballer Chris Judd for several thousand dollars (from someone who filmed the attack so they could sell it to Channel 7 for several thousand dollars); Spanx becomes feminist; and we check in with our sister podcast, The Daily Minute.

The Prime Minister drinks a beer without lemonade in it; The Prime Minister pushes to give $4 million to a climate skeptic to fund a ‘Consensus Centre'; The Prime Minister of New Zealand repeatedly bullies a hospitality worker; the ANZAC spirit is celebrated around the nation with cynical commercialism; The Australian Vaccination Skeptics Network makes a brilliant analogy; Peter “The Worst Guy” Dutton tries to convince the refugee prisoners on Nauru to permanently settle in Cambodia; Peter “My Job Is To Commit Atrocities” Dutton tries to send a 5-year-old, PTSD-suffering girl back to Nauru; and we premier the heart-wrenching trailer for the Government's new asylum seeker soap opera.

This week: Joe Hockey gets a talking to about Joe Hockey's sabotage of Joe Hockey's tax revenue; a certain Almighty One weighs in on Australia's surveillance state; Australia gets set to spend four million dollars on some cool anti-immigration propaganda; we take a look at Hillary Clinton's presidential candidacy as well as the first wave of the Republican Presidential Circus; China blacklists rowdy tourists; a “selfish rabble” cause a stir on the front page of the Herald Sun; and the Prime Minister enacts some sensible policy about vaccinations. He was bound to get something right after all this time.

John Madigan gets in on the hot new trend of starting self-titled political parties; we look into the potential deflation of political currency; it turns out that Campbell Newman wasn't such a bad guy after all — well, it turns out that he was such a bad guy after all, but he knew it; and Lindsey interviews Hinda Bargeraft, a spokesperson for the Department of Immigration, Border Protection, and Drowning Adorable Kittens.

Mike Baird shocks nobody by winning the New South Wales state election; Scott Morrison has traumatic flashbacks (to wet willies and spitballs to the back of the head) as former students of Sydney Boys High boycott his attendance at their Old Boys function; Jackie Lambie and Nick Xenophon start their own no-issue eponymous political parties; a Manus Island prisoner tries to do exactly what the Australian government told him to, but isn't allowed; George Brandis discovers gravity; and we find out about the plots of dastardly terrorists to destroy the environment.

Tony Abbott and Joe Hockey take some 100% necessary luxury flights to definitely important parliamentary business events on the tax-payer dime; Karl Stefanovic says some words again; shocking revelations from the Moss report show that Scott Morrison is Scott Morrison; Miranda Devine uses her jernalizm skills to deduce the real reasons why teenage boys join ISIS; Dick Smith moves into polidicks; politicians talk some more about gay marriage but don't do anything about it; and the countdown to the election officially begins on the rocket clock.

This Weekly: the Palmer United Party get a little less United; metadata retention laws pass in the Senate; we find out what wacky shenanigans are going on the Department of Immigration and Brutalis-BORDER PROTECTION; Australia's richest make a convincing case for exemption from tax transparency; Australia's 'budget emergency' is downgraded to a 'budget nah-it's-cool-now-don't-worry-about-it' despite being in a much worse position; parks get their share of the victim-blame; and we get some exciting news via our American correspondents from The Royal We.

The Weekly Hour! Ireland accidentally legalises every drug — maybe Tony's patronising stereotypes of the Irish being drunken idiots are true; money and the time of scientists is wasted in order to even more conclusively prove that homeopathy is nonsense; Australia gets sick of the UN lecturing us about the cruel, inhumane and degrading torture we inflict on innocent people; Indigenous Australians insist on living out their extravagant “lifestyle choices” in their traditional homelands; Joe Hockey throws a tantrum; and the inevitability of marriage equality faces its first real threat in the form of a logically sound, somewhat-coherent ad from the Family Marriage Whatever.

This time, Ex-Premier Campbell Newman fails to relaunch his career as a man who tells a ghostwriter what to say about him; current Premier Mike Baird fails to connect with the youths, and also the law; the GP co-payment is done away with in a particularly gruesome manner; Fairfax mistakenly labels a man a terrorist; Post-It notes finally get the telling-off they deserve; and Clive Palmer tells Tony Abbott to kill himself, but he's a politician instead instead of the usual 'everyone', so it's newsworthy. Also, we changed our logo.

Another one! This week, Thomas proves that the age of entitlement is over with a little blood, sweat, and more blood; sports commentators use their imaginations and collectively imagine the same thing; Gillian Triggs does her job; Tony Abbott has some terror-ble news for Australia; a fearless detective takes on the case of his career; and we take on the issues most pressing to Australia, live in The Extreme Centre.

Have a The Weekly Hour, then. Go on. You've earned it. This time, we discuss the dangers of wind turbines and their ‘sensations', berries give people hepatitis like abstinence-only educated teenagers in the Bible Belt, Sarah Ferguson gets into trouble with everyone but the people she works for, Fifty Shades of Grey gets a classy release in Britain, students interview their teachers, the census costs Australians a negligible amount of money for a great benefit and so is in the firing line because of course it is, and Thomas chases down the hottest stories armed with nothing but a prop microphone, a tape recorder, and his integrity.

The Weekly Hour! Listen to it, probably! On this one: a spooky ghost haunts our studio, the Australian Government is objectively proven to be torturing refugee children, Ricky Muir tells us what he thinks, the one informal vote of the Liberal Party's leadership spill tells all, Apple steals the sun, and Brian Williams is a bit of a twat.

Rupert Murdoch has been tweeting again, Queensland votes out it's patriotic leader in favour of motorcycle corruption, South Australia considers doing away with 'time' as they know it, Tony Abbott's leadership is in question, journalist Peter Greste is freed at last, and somebody let Christopher Pyne speak to the media again — uh-oh!

On this one: the Nylex clock in Richmond is mysteriously awakened, the government maintains its commitment to freedom of the press, Saudi King Abdullah gets himself all dead and stuff, Campbell Newman campaigns his little heart out, Prince Philip's #knightmare, wacky weather, and the US State of the Union address gets some groovy commentary. Plus even more things! Have a listen to it. Go on.

What's this? Another new The Weekly Hour, so soon? You bet you are. This time, we scrutinise the Queensland election, as it happens, only two weeks after it was called. We also have a look at the protests at the possibly-maybe-not-humane Manus Island detention centre, and discuss the federal government's brilliant economic non-management as interest rates plummet.

As the world goes pretty much to shit, The Weekly Hour brings you the latest in terrorism, budget backflips, environmental collapse, Christian extremism, Muslim extremism, the Swiss franc, and the terrible things Australia is doing to people on Manus Island. Also, the weather.

We're back, after the mysteriously cancelled week. Join us on this episode for our thorough investigations into Australia's wealthy avoiding paying their tax, advertisement controversy during cricket broadcasts, and our very special interview with one of the leaders of the Illuminati.

On this one what is a new episode of The Weekly Hour, we take a look back at the highlights of 2014, weigh in on the Mid-Year Economic Foobly-doobly Ordeal, have a go of fixing Victoria's Upper House, tiptoe around the Sydney siege story, and get a saucy sneak-peek into the future of British pornography.

This week on The Wikka-wikka-weekly Hour, Tony Abbott has an enlightening interview with "Chris", Stella Young tragically stops being alive, the generational bargain comes under fire, and the Coalition polishes up it's GP co-payment scheme to a mucky shine.

The Weekly Hour is all up in yo' internets again this week, with the very latest stories from up to a week ago. In this episode, we discuss the contention over Victoria's East-West Link, Christopher Pyne's university cuts, a new method of tackling problem gambling, the troubling trend of youth unemployment, Bronwyn Bishop's reign of terror, and much more! Actually, no, that's about it.

This week, we bring you the stories that affect you, The Youths, the most: news from the G20, the return of Pauline Hanson (this time, it's personal), as well as our multi-faceted coverage of the Victorian state election.

In our inaugural episode, we delve into the issues that matter to you the most: Direct Action, subtitling of free-to-air TV, scandal amongst the Young Liberals, and the front (as well as the other parts) of Vladimir Putin's shirt.
