Luxon - 1, media - 0. After no small effort on the media's part to drum up a crisis on a bad poll, there's two important points and we can put this whole nonsense to bed. 1) Luxon doesn't have a coup brewing. Despite all the detractors' best efforts, there is no one counting numbers. The nearest they have managed to get is Chris Bishop, who was more interested in being in India over the weekend than lining up a new job for the new week. Also, we don't vote for Prime Ministers. They are not presidents. We vote for parties and policies and results. If you like National you don't not vote National because the leader isn't to your taste. 2) The revelation from the Curia poll, that on one hand they tried to tell you how unpopular Luxon was with a net negative rating of -19. It turns out Bishop is about as bad on -14. Erica Stanford is -16. Everyone is underwater. Chuck in Winston, Seymour, and Hipkins, you'll see no one is in positive territory and that tells you a couple of things as well. We live in an era where likeability is irrelevant because we hate everyone. Post-Covid we have never got over the funk, so as much as you want to bang on about Luxon not connecting, according to the numbers, no one connects. It's all over the world. Trump is underwater, Starmer is underwater, Albanese is underwater and Macron is underwater. Chris Minns who runs New South Wales is popular currently because of his handling of Bondi. Apart from that pick a politician because we hate them all. In the likeability numbers, the likes of which we see in the TV1 poll, if Hipkins was 50% and Luxon was 20% then that's an issue. But they aren't. They both have been stuck at about 20% forever and all the others are below that. That's why none of this matters. In the past the polls have shown an answer, a suitor, a name that drives a bit of fizz. We have no such names. Now, you can debate the merits or otherwise of great leaders with great personalities, or lack of them. But we are where we are and none of the current lot will go down as Churchill's, to paraphrase Trump. And Churchill, by the way, for a lot of the time wasn't popular either. So let's see this nonsense for what it is: we are voting on the economy, not show-men. There is no coup, this is but one poll. Mountain versus molehill. A waste of time. Let's all try and do a lot better. There is too much at stake. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode Kevin talks with Kade (@TheGreenGorillaGamer) and newcomer to the show Kenny Albanese about the beautiful game Gris from Nomada Studio. They break down the game from how it performs as a video game and an art piece, and then go through all of the elements that make up their arguments. They cover the meanings behind the game's themes and then dive deep into how each chapter illustrates those meanings on various levels. They then each reveal their interpretation of the ending and how it fits into the artistic perspective the game presents. You'll also hear a few hot takes throughout the episode, but don't grab your pitchforks just yet. Just like all great art, this game can be seen in many different ways, and no interpretation is wrong.

Topics:Our Society Is Captured: Australia Backs US–Israel Attacks on IranIn a solo “Iron Fist” rant, the host reviews what he calls an unprovoked US–Israel bombing campaign on Iran (“Operation Epic Fury”), describing hundreds of Tomahawk missiles, US aircraft and drones, and about 200 Israeli jets striking 500 sites, killing Iranian leaders including the Supreme Leader and at least 165 schoolgirls; Iran retaliates by striking Tel Aviv and targeting US bases in Gulf states. He argues Western leaders, especially Five Eyes governments and Australia's Anthony Albanese, condemn Iran's response while supporting the attacks, despite Iran being in negotiations at the time. He critiques media and political statements (Laura Tingle, Penny Wong, EU leaders), highlights an MSNBC exchange with Iran's foreign minister, and mocks a UN Security Council session chaired by Melania Trump. He frames the war as driven by the military-industrial complex, Zionists, capitalists, and propaganda, and portrays Albanese as captured by lobbying and abandoning his 2003 anti-Iraq-war stance, including repeating unproven claims about Iran-linked attacks in Australia.00:00 Solo Rant Setup01:13 Why People Accept It02:50 What Happened In Iran05:15 Negotiations And Pretexts07:42 Five Eyes Backing War14:06 Regime Change Playbook17:42 What Iranians Actually Want21:29 Media Clips And Hypocrisy28:58 Orwellian Interviews30:31 UN Security Council Farce30:44 Melania Chairs UN32:40 Melania Doc Roast34:02 Greenland And Denmark34:44 Why Attack Iran Now35:12 Four Forces Behind War38:07 Albanese In Focus38:53 World Reactions Clip41:08 Albanese Then Vs Now44:11 Claims Of Iran Attacks47:36 Greens And Critics50:34 Lobby Power And Capture54:47 Leadership And Wrap UpTo financially support the Podcast you can make:a per-episode donation via Patreon or one-off donation via credit card; orone-off or regular donations via Paypal orif you are into Cryptocurrency you can send Satoshis.

Not long after the US and Israel launched a deadly attack on Iran, the Australian government came out swiftly to express total support for the action. It was a position starkly at odds with other countries such as the UK and a majority of European nations, which instead expressed caution and a need for diplomacy. The US and Israeli bombing of Iran has been deemed illegal by experts around the world. So where does this leave Australia on the international stage and why is the prime minister so staunch in his support for his US ally? Political editor Tom McIllroy speaks to Nour Haydar

A series of warnings from artificial intelligence (AI) industry insiders shows how the debate around AI drives extreme news cycles, swinging between hype and alarm. The result is media coverage that overlooks the intricacies of this technology and its impact on everyday life. We examine the real risks, what's being overstated, and what major tech companies stand to gain from all the fearmongering.

After a manipulated video of Albanese calling Israel the “enemy of humanity” went viral,  there were calls for her resignation across Europe. The UN has labelled these allegations part of a wider smear campaign to discredit Albanese and the UN itself. A curated view of Israel for African journalists For decades, the Israeli government and pro-Israel organisations have sponsored trips for politicians, celebrities and journalists, inviting them to visit and, as they put it, tell the “real story” about Israel. In the past, those invitations largely targeted figures from Western countries. But since October 7th, there has been a noticeable shift towards African journalists and social media influencers. The objective is clear: to shape coverage in African media and influence audiences across the continent. The Listening Post's Nic Muirhead reports on the African journalists taking part in these fully funded, tightly managed visits to Israel.
