Oh no, China! That's what all the techbros are saying. Let's test that theory with some shownotes generated by Qwen 3.8 Max. The max is for MAXIMUM. This is the maximum. EPISODE SUMMARYIt is Hong Kong Jack's birthday, and the Two Jacks mark the occasion with a long, wide-ranging episode recorded on the eve of the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.The show opens with Pauline Hanson's refusal to remove a cartoon from her website branding Liberal MP Andrew Hastie a traitor — eight times over. Barnaby Joyce has apologised, One Nation candidates are expressing discomfort, but Hanson will not budge. Jack the Insider argues her truculence is a delusion shared by populists everywhere: the belief that backing down is weakness. Ironically, the affair has burnished Hastie's credentials as a potential Coalition leader. From there, the hosts turn to the Prime Minister's handling of the Marrickville Golf Club membership controversy — a one-day story turned into a one-week saga by Albanese taking umbrage rather than simply admitting an oversight.The conversation broadens into the global rise of populism: revelations about a One Nation candidate in Victoria; ASIO Director-General Mike Burgess's expression of deep regret over the October 9 Opera House rally and his warning that normalised behaviours raised the temperature and increased the permission for politically motivated violence; and Germany's state elections, where the AFD's surge in Saxony comes despite the state having one of the lowest foreign-born populations in the country. Chancellor Merz, with 75 per cent disapproval, may be finished. A proposed Constitutional Court ban on the AFD is, in Hong Kong Jack's view, just about the worst thing Germany could do.Across the Atlantic, the Lindsay Clancy mistrial in Massachusetts — a jury split 11-1 for acquittal after 40 hours, with postpartum depression at the centre of the defence — prompts a wider discussion of the US justice system. Donald Trump's midterm rally speech earns scrutiny too: the pledge of five thousand dollars for every adult male, his claim to have outrated the NFL (2.5 million viewers against 28.3 million), and his falling asleep during the reading of the names at the 9/11 commemoration. The hosts close that section with reflections from John Howard and Kevin Rudd on where they were 25 years ago.Finally, the footy: an NFL crowd of 100,000 at the MCG to watch the 49ers beat the Rams; Russell Jackson's ABC story on racism allegations at Hawthorn and North Melbourne, which the Jacks find lacking in evidence; Cricket Australia's BBL privatisation push; and finals predictions for the AFL and NRL. The birthday show signs off, fittingly, with the arrest of a Nigerian prince in California.TIMESTAMPSAll times include the 25-second theme music.00:00:27 — Welcome; happy birthday Hong Kong Jack00:01:19 — Pauline Hanson refuses to remove Andrew Hastie "traitor" cartoon00:05:30 — The PM and the Marrickville Golf Club: a one-day story becomes a one-week saga00:07:03 — Populists and the delusion that they can do no wrong00:08:08 — One Nation's Victorian candidate: drugs and sexual deviance allegations00:18:17 — ASIO's Mike Burgess on the October 9 rally and politically motivated violence00:40:13 — Germany's state elections: the AFD's surge in Saxony00:48:15 — The AFD, remigration rhetoric and anti-Semitism00:57:44 — Chancellor Merz at 75 per cent disapproval; the proposed AFD ban00:59:34 — The Lindsay Clancy mistrial in Massachusetts01:10:03 — Trump's midterm speech: five grand for every adult male and the ratings claim01:11:38 — 9/11 at 25: Trump asleep at the commemoration; Howard and Rudd remember01:25:42 — NFL at the MCG: the 49ers down the Rams before 100,00001:28:33 — Russell Jackson, the ABC and the Hawthorn–North Melbourne racism allegations01:38:01 — Cricket Australia and BBL privatisation01:39:42 — AFL finals: Freo, the Swans, the Hawks and the Lions01:41:27 — NRL finals: Panthers, Warriors, Sharks and Cowboys01:42:43 — A Nigerian prince finally caught — in California

Bryan Brownrigg was never a currency trader. He sold foreign exchange to Standard Bank's institutional clients for 23 years. But when the Competition Commission decided that 28 banks had run a single conspiracy to rig the rand, his name went into the complaint anyway, and it took a decade and a Constitutional Court ruling to get it out again. Financial Mail editor Rob Rose told Alec Hogg how one wrong assumption metastasised into a case that dragged banks, courts and taxpayers through ten years of litigation, and why Brownrigg is only one entry on a longer list. A tribunal sat on a merger decision for six years and then gave a reason for the delay that turned out not to be true. A R14 billion Vodacom fibre deal collapsed. A black-owned retailer was blocked from selling its own business. Rose's argument is blunt: South Africa's competition watchdogs have stopped policing competition, and started doing something else.

Lester Kiewit speaks to Tara Roos, CapeTalk commentator and Business Day political correspondent, about the latest news coming out of Parliament, including the latest developments in President Cyril Ramaphosa’s legal challenge to the Section 89 independent panel’s Phala Phala report. Ramaphosa’s legal team, led by Wim Trengove SC, argues that the panel applied the wrong legal test when it found sufficient evidence to justify an impeachment inquiry and failed to properly assess the President’s version of events. The ATM, EFF and MK Party are opposing the review, although they each put forward different arguments about the role of the courts and Parliament in the impeachment process. With the Constitutional Court having revived the process and public hearings currently halted by the High Court, Tara explains the key legal arguments and what the court’s decision could mean for the future of the Phala Phala inquiry.

The Constitutional Court has dismissed applications by former presidents Jacob Zuma and Thabo Mbeki seeking the recusal of Justice Khampepe from the TRC-related inquiry. The two former Presidents had argued in the South Gauteng High Court earlier this year that Khampepe would likely be biased due to her prior roles as a TRC Commissioner and Deputy National Director of Public Prosecutions.

The Democratic Alliance, DA is in the Constitutional Court in Johannesburg today seeking to have the Finance Minister's power to raise VAT declared unconstitutional.

Namibia struck oil and became the hottest investment story on the continent. Mozambique's tax take is about to jump sharply on the back of gas. Right next door, South Africa is sitting on a geological basin that industry figures compare to the discovery of gold in Johannesburg, and it has just taken another direct hit in the Constitutional Court. OPASA's Niall Kramer joins Alec Hogg to explain what is really being left in the ground, who is standing in the way, and why the window on this opportunity will not stay open forever.
A commission of inquiry can't jail anyone. It can't force government to do anything at all. So what is the Madlanga Commission actually for, and what happens if its final report just gets filed away like so many before it? Accountability Now's Paul Hoffman walks through 25 years of scrapped anti-corruption units, three trips to the Constitutional Court, and one narrow legal route that could still see South Africa's newest corruption-busting unit, IDAC, ruled unconstitutional if the commission gets it wrong.
The uMkhonto weSizwe Party and United Africans Transformation are back in the Western Cape High Court today. They are seeking urgent leave to appeal a ruling that froze Parliament's Section 89 impeachment inquiry into President Cyril Ramaphosa.

This follows the Constitutional Court's recent dismissal of a direct appeal on the matter. We spoke to MKP MP, Andile Mgxitama.
FISA CEO Jan du Plessis on Assisted Decision-Making, the Regulation of Trust Bill, and Fiduciary Practice Risks. Tony from Cover interviews Jan du Plessis, CEO of FISA, about key developments and challenges in South Africa's fiduciary space. Jan says FISA has long advocated for assisted decision-making and an enduring power of attorney, and that the Department of Justice has drafted a bill now under consideration, though details and timing are unknown. He shares a briefing on an imminent new “Regulation of Trust Bill,” highlighting proposed trustee accountability measures such as annual financial statements to the Master, mandatory reporting of trust termination, submission of deed amendments before acting, new offenses and penalties (including beneficial ownership recordkeeping and acting without letters of authority), Master-issued compliance notices and fines, additional court protections for vulnerable beneficiaries, restrictions on land reform trusts, and a risk-based approach to beneficial ownership. They discuss operational delays at the Master's office (IT/bandwidth, backlogs, vacancies, and lack of uniformity), SARS delays (DEC letters, objections, estate duty), and banking challenges (balances at date of death, payment delays, and QR-code letters). Jan also previews FISA's conference themed “risk and reward in fiduciary practice,” covering forensic risk, trust services liabilities, exchange control, a Constitutional Court tax case, AI in practice, life policy taxation issues, modern practice risks, and conflicts of interest.

South Africa's Constitutional Court has blocked energy giant Shell from renewing its offshore oil and gas exploration rights along the Wild Coast. The landmark ruling ends a multi-year legal battle led by local fishing communities and environmental groups over flawed public consultation processes and marine protection. In a majority decision, the country's highest court overturned a 2024 judgment by the Supreme Court of Appeal. That earlier ruling had given Shell and its partner, Impact Africa, a potential lifeline to conduct seismic surveys under an exploration right initially granted in 2014. Wild Coast community representatives have welcomed the verdict as a decisive victory against both the oil companies and the Department of Mineral Resources. Jon Gericke spoke to Professor of Sociology and Political Economist Professor Patrick Bond from the University of Johannesburg
The Constitutional Court has ruled Shell cannot proceed with offshore exploration and seismic testing off the Wild Coast. It overturned a previous Supreme Court of Appeal judgment and marking a major victory for local communities and environmental groups. The matter brought by Wild Coast communities and environmental organisations against oil companies, Shell and Impact Africa. It dates back to 2014.

In his latest interview with Chris Steyn, Political Commentator Solly Moeng, talks about four political parties joining in a Constitutional Court bid to try and overturn President Cyril Ramaposa's impeachment committee interdict; a murder investigation into the death of General Sindile Mfazi, who was investigating an unauthorised undercover operation to cover up wrongdoings at high level; and the assassination of another corruption whistleblower, Emfuleni accountant Martha Rantsofu. “...everything that we see is really just the tip of a huge, massive iceberg. I'm sure there are other bodies, dead bodies all over the place, of people who said: ‘I cannot support this, or I'm going to report this, or this is not the right way to do things'… There's a whole industry that has been set up where you get given two thousand, ten thousand depending on where you're at, to go and pop somebody.” Moeng also comments on the corruption trial of former Defence Minister Nosisive Mapisa-Nqakula; the expose of former IDAC Chief Andrea Johnson's agenda; the management mayhem at the Public Investment Corporation (PIC); and former President Jacob Zuma's latest antics.

In South Africa, a speech from the country's President Cyril Ramaphosa firmly saying he will not resign, is trending. A Constitutional Court ruling last week found that parliament acted unconstitutionally when it voted against establishing an impeachment inquiry against Ramaphosa regarding the Phala Phala report in 2022, where thousands of dollars were stolen from furniture at his game farm. And to Lesotho, we speak to an independent writer Tseliso Monaheng about the history of Famo music and why it is tied to a history of violence in the country.

Are Art and Upheaval totally incompatible or unavoidably connected?We're rebroadcasting this episode from 2022, in part, because the ground beneath it hasn't settled—it's shifted, cracked, and in some places, caught fire again. The headlines keep reminding us: conflict, repression, dislocation, the slow erosion—and sometimes the sudden collapse—of trust in our institutions and in each other.And right there, in the middle of it, the same quiet, stubborn truth this episode points to: if you scratch the surface of upheaval, you will find artists. Not on the sidelines—on the frontlines. Bearing witness. Making meaning. Holding the line while other systems falose thier grip.Three things to listen for as you step in:First, the insistence that art is not ornamental in times of crisis—it's operational. It does real work in real conditions.Second, the pattern: loss, rupture, and then—again and again—creative acts that stitch something back together. Not perfectly. But enough to move forward.And third, the wager at the heart of it all: that imagination isn't an escape from reality—it's a tool for reshaping it.Some people still think you can't beat the devil with a song.Listen closely.Then decide for yourself.Notable MentionsFor this episode of Change the Story Change the World we are going to revisit some of those Art and Upheaval stories along with the song of the same name to make a point. Yea, some people think you can't beat the devil with a song, but they don't know!Art & Upheaval (song) From the CD Songlines by Cleveland Plainsong:Art & Upheaval: Artists at Work on the World's Frontlines, New Village PressChange the Story Change the WorldSouth African Bill of Rights: The Bill of Rights is arguably the part of the Constitution that has had the greatest impact on life in this country. As the first words of this chapter say: "This Bill of Rights is a cornerstone of democracy in South Africa. It enshrines the rights of all people in our country and affirms the democratic values of human dignity, equality and freedom."It has also been the source of the majority of the groundbreaking rulings the Constitutional Court has handed down. To read more about selected rights and the way the Constitutional Court has interpreted them, see children's rights, women's rights, gay and lesbian rights, workers' rights and access to information.Art for Humanity: engages with multidisciplinary arts practice and a wide variety of creative practice within the context of the pressing need for the centering of social justice in our contemporary moment. Based primarily in Durban, the organization aims to support, host, document, create space for, catalyze, and help stimulate this intersection between the arts and questions of history, social transformation and social justice. Bishop Desmond Tutu: was a South African Anglican bishop and theologian, known for his work as an anti-apartheid and human rights activist. He was Bishop of Johannesburg from 1985 to 1986 and then Archbishop of Cape Town from 1986 to 1996, in both cases being the first black African to hold the position. Theologically, he sought to fuse ideas from black theology with African theology.Khmer Rouge: The Communist Party of Kampuchea (CPK), otherwise known as the Khmer Rouge, took control of Cambodia on April 17, 1975. The CPK created the state of Democratic Kampuchea in 1976 and ruled the country until January 1979. The party's existence was kept secret until 1977, and no one outside the CPK knew who its leaders were (the leaders called themselves “Angkar Padevat”).While the Khmer Rouge was in power, they set up policies that disregarded human life and produced repression and massacres on a massive scale. They turned the country into a huge detention center, which later became a graveyard for nearly two million people, including their own members and even some senior leaders.Reyum Institute of Arts and Culture: Reyum was a non-profit, non-governmental organisation dedicated to Cambodian arts and culture. Reyum was founded by Ly Daravuth and Ingrid Muan (1964 - 2005) in December 1998 in order to provide a forum for research, preservation, and promotion of traditional and contemporary Cambodian arts and culture.Watts Writers Workshop: was a creative writing group initiated by screenwriter Budd Schulberg in the wake of the devastating August 1965 Watts Riots in South Central Los Angeles (now South Los Angeles). Schulberg later said: "In a small way, I wanted to help.... The only thing I knew was writing, so I decided to start a writers' workshop."[1] The group, which functioned from 1965 to 1973, was composed primarily of young African Americans in Watts and the surrounding neighborhoods. Early on, the Workshop included a theatrical component and one of the founders was the actor Yaphet Kotto. The group expanded its facilities and activities over the next several years with funding from the Rockefeller Foundation. Government files later revealed that the Workshop had been the target of covert operations by the FBI. Writers involved in the Workshop include Quincy Troupe, Samuel Harris Jr better known as Leumas Sirrah, Johnie Scott, Eric Priestley, Ojenke, Herbert Simmons, and Wanda Coleman, as well as the poetry group Watts Prophets.Amde Hamilton: Father Amde is widely recognized for being one of the original poets in the world famous Watts Writers Workshop during the 1960's, where he and two other poets formed the legendary rap group, the Watts Prophets. Amid racism, poverty, and police brutality that ultimately sparked the Watts Riots, the Watts Writers Workshop tapped into the young, Black voices of Los Angeles that needed to be heard.Watts Prophets: The Watts Prophets are a group of musicians and poets from Watts,

The International Criminal Court wants a word with BiBi, and the new regime is keen to be seen as a responsible global citizen.But what Magyar doesn't seem to know is that this is an EU stalking horse for pulling him back into line, by linking it with another man with a price on his head – Vladimir Putin.Finally, the bot singularity is coming for the markets.
