The targeted groups are the subject of much racism, along with accusations of 'a lack of integration' even from several of the country's prominent politicians.What are the people in question facing? How hard is it to really integrate? And who, if anyone, makes up the controversial Apex Gang?Find out, on Opheads!Shownotes: www.cowardspace.com/opheads/episode08Researched Content:17:50

In this episode: Tony Abbott listens to the pulse of the people, irony free. Alex Jones is a performance artist and the Herald Sun may have invented the Apex Gang for it's own political and social ends. Gay men are once again being targeted for persecution and migrants are being sold as slaves. Elections are happening which may break the EU and the Dalai Lama (potentially the nicest 81 year old in the world) is causing the Chinese headaches - possibly because of his niceness. What happened with Trump and Syria? What about Trump and Russia? We also chat about the latest on Trump v. Kim Jong Un. Back in Australia, we chat Aussie values, 457 visas and citizen tests. The Safe Schools program is coming to an in NSW, but what of the complaints that have been brought up against religious instruction? ​
