POPULARITY
The New South Wales parliament has passed laws aimed at limiting protests after terror attacks in a marathon session that ran into the early hours of Christmas Eve. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and the Opposition leader Sussan Ley have delivered their Christmas messages, noting that this season will be different for many due to the tragedy of the Bondi shooting. - ボンダイでのテロ事件を受けNSW州議会は、テロ事件後の抗議活動を制限する法案を可決しました。アルバニージー首相と野党のリー党首は国民に向けてクリスマスのメッセージを発表しました。
This week, we break down Albo's defensive masterclass on Sunrise where he pulls off the classic "I'm not the finance minister" dodge, name-drops Sussan Ley, and attempts the slowest political pivot in history — all while journalists actually hold his feet to the fire about ministerial spending. Beauty Pageant Politics: The Million Dollar Distraction While the Murdoch media machine goes into overdrive about Annika Wells' travel expenses, we expose the cherry-picked outrage for what it really is: beauty pageant politics designed to distract you from the real scams. Sure, politicians waste a million bucks on flights — but while you're focused on that, Labor's taking $600,000 from gambling companies and refusing to ban gambling ads that cost Aussies $31 billion a year. We do the bad maths: if banning gambling ads reduced losses by just 3%, that's a billion dollars back in punters' pockets — or a thousand times more than all the ministerial travel rorts combined. Transurban's Toll Scam: The Junk Fee Heist Nobody's Talking About Konrad gets absolutely fleeced by Transurban's toll fee scam — $40 in tolls, $50 in junk fees — and breaks down every single predatory charge this legal monopoly hits you with: $10 admin fees, $0.75 "video matching" fees, $15 non-return tag fees, and a dozen other made-up charges that would make a Nigerian prince blush. Plus, we float the idea of a digital toll protest: what if 100,000 punters just stopped paying until Transurban pays their fair share of tax? It's a toll hostage situation — you want your money? Start acting like a legitimate business. Also: Konrad rates his own political redirect performance, we answer Spotify comments about whether One Nation is taking over the Libs, and we're officially on a government-mandated break until February (probably).
