100 Episodes

91 minutes | May 15, 2022
145 - Snackpod Family Potluck ft. many extremely cool people
It's a super special excellent amazing NOT AN ELECTION special episode! We are heartily sick of the boring, reactionary, useless and misguided policies that are being floated, proposed and discussed during this election campaign. So we thought we would reach out to some of our extended Snackpod family who work or volunteer or study or live or care about various issues and topics to ask, what would an actual GOOD policy be? The potlucks we're serving this week are... Feminism: Leah from Loud Angry & Not Sorry gives some wide-ranging and incredible policy suggestions around gendered inequality. If you want more from Leah you can check out their podcast here: https://loudandangry.podbean.com/  Housing: David Kelly told us about housing policy, and blows our minds with some actually meaningful analysis instead of the nonsense housing policies that our politicians are proposing. Listen to a longer interview Zac did with David here: https://auspolsnackpod.podbean.com/e/075-pub-lunch-housing-with-david-kelly/ And follow him on Twitter: https://twitter.com/davelkelly  Climate: Policy mastermind Sam talks to us about coal seam gas, fugitive emissions, and dodgy carbon accounting.  Fashy Fash: It couldn't be anyone other than Tom Tanuki, talking about how "leaders" can and should oppose fascism through their words and actions. Obviously you should be watching his videos: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYgRzstFX-CwCGq781If_dw  Queer Emancipation: Guest from our most successful of all time episode, Tilde Joy, talks to us about their experience of medical transition and some of the policies could support that process. Obviously watch them stream at https://www.twitch.tv/ultros_professional and follow them on twitter https://twitter.com/ULTROS_PRO  Poverty and Welfare: Jez Haywood from the Australian Unemployed Workers' Union (AUWU) runs us through their key demands and why they're necessary. Follow Jez on twitter: https://twitter.com/jezheywood And support the AUWU: https://www.auwu.org.au/   Cops: JB - our guest who spoke to us about sex work decrim a few months ago - is back on a related but totally different issue, which is: why are cops considered emergency services?  Media: Our erstwhile colleague and future guest host, Tom McLean from the recently-finished Not Good Enough podcast talks to us about the media landscape, the ABC, and employment in journalism. Follow them on twitter: https://twitter.com/mcccclean  Human rights: Steph was unable to record but sent us a script of their strong opinion that we should have a Bill of Rights to protect people of all sorts. Follow her on twitter: https://twitter.com/GivenToRant  Elections: How bad are elections? King of nuance, Jess, talks about sortition and why it's maybe an appealing option but also unlikely to fundamentally change anything.  Huge enormous thanks to everyone who sent us content and also to everyone we asked and couldn't do it this time. We're legitimately so pleased to have such a wonderful community and we can't overstate how much we appreciate you putting in the time and effort to get this done at very short notice (oops sorry).  If you love the show and want to support us financially you can do it over at www.patreon.com/AuspolSnackpod  If you can't or don't want to listen to the show you can read transcripts over at www.auspolsnackpod.com  Watch Noon play games on twitch at www.twitch.tv/noonplaysgames

137 - BakedBeans ft. Jo
Zac's away having fun or something so earlier in the week I sat down with Jo, host of the Chronically Fully Sick podcast to snack down on the news and memes. There's been a LOT of news since we recorded, especially the murder trial for a police officer in the NT, which we will definitely talk about next time. So just a warning that there might be some things you expect us to discuss that we do not.  This week Jo and Noon are serving up...  Aperitifs: International Women's Day and Labour Day!  First Nations / Blurst Take: For the first time ever, Victorian First Nations groups are getting a water allocation from the Murray Darling. It's historical but also pretty miniscule.  SPOTW: Sonic erotica. Need we say more? Shoutouts Liam for the layup/assist.  Fashy Australia: Ever heard of BusyBeans? No? Well, ever heard of soul destroying fake "employment training providers"? No? Well, ever heard of brutal corruption and exploiting disabled people for financial gain?  Ever heard of the NDIS and the Minister blatantly lying?  And you'll have to listen to the end for our Pupdate!  Listen to Chronically Fully Sick: https://www.chronicallyfullysick.com/  Follow them on Insta: @ChronicallyFullySick  Support Auspol Snackpod financially to help us pay our transcribers: www.patreon.com/AuspolSnackpod If you can't or don't want to listen, you can read our episodes over at www.auspolsnackpod.com

135 - Sex Waffles ft. JB
We had such a good time with our guest last week, we decided to get another one! We got JB to come on the show to talk about sex work decriminalisation and other legal frameworks, as well as the ethics of the sex industry, moralising, and about a million other things. And they didn't even get to their second point!  This week we're serving up...  Election Section: NSW had four by elections, most of which were at least fairly interesting!  SPOTW: Antony Green got Ligma'd.  Positivity Corner: JB talks to us about sex work decrim passing the Victorian parliament.  First Nations: on the anniversary of the Apology for the Stolen Generations, we had some very powerful speeches from First Nations leaders and a rage-inducingly bad one from the Prime Minister.  And you'll just have to listen to the end for our Pupdate!  Check out JB on twitter: https://twitter.com/fairy_godslut  Check out Vixen Collective: https://www.vixencollective.org/  Decolonise Sex Work: https://www.instagram.com/decolonisesexworkau  Assembly Four: https://twitter.com/AssemblyFour  Digital Rights Watch: https://digitalrightswatch.org.au/  Support Snackpod financially: www.patreon.com/AuspolSnackpod You can read transcripts of our episodes at www.auspolsnackpod.com

134 - Religious Freedom Fries ft.Tilde!
We're very excited to announce our guest host Tilde! She's a unionist and organiser and twitch streamer and a confirmed poster and came on to talk to us about the Religious Freedom / Anti-Trans Kids Bill and to explain the sad machinations of our political parties.  There's a content warning for our First Nations story which involves an Indigenous man who was killed by police, and the use of his name. The story runs from 44:40 to 55:50. Oh and by the way, sorry about the little peeps from Bagel. He was in dog jail while we recorded and was protesting his unfair treatment.  This week we're serving up...  Aperitifs: South Australian politicians did a sit-in in the Lower House to demand something that literally can't happen. And a Victorian Labor MP will likely be expelled from the party because she crossed the floor to support a petty revenge bill.  Fashy Australia: Tilde talks to us about the Religious Discrimination Bill, the Labor Party's conservative arm (ie most of it), the Liberal Party's failed attempt to whip up concern, and to remind you to buy your trans friends a PS5.  First Nations: CW from 44:40 to 55:50. We talk about the murder trial of the Indigenous man killed by Officer Zachary Rolfe in Yuendumu in 2019.  Kook Watch: This show could pretty much just be renamed Kook Watch at this point because there's so much cooker nonsense going on in the nation's capital that we have to keep talking about it. Luckily this week we also have... SPOTW: which goes to @ThoughtlessDeed on twitter for his personalised playing cards of all the key cooker leaders. And also a... Potluck: a short song written by Jase! About the Cooker Convoy.  And you'll just have to wait til the end for our Pupdate!  Go check out Tilde on twitter (https://twitter.com/Ultros_pro) and Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/ultros_professional)  Support Snackpod with your dollarydoos: www.patreon.com/AuspolSnackpod  Also watch Noon on twitch: www.twitch.tv/NoonPlaysGames

133 - Prunes MacStewed
There was legitimately way too much news this week. We had to cut loads of stories and all the stories we kept ended up being TOO INTERESTING. So, hopefully you have plenty of lawns to mow today. This week we're serving up... Aperitifs: Queensland is having ANOTHER Fitzgerald Inquiry - an anti-corruption investigation of their anti-corruption body, because they might have done a tiny little coup of one council one time. Separately, Ben Roberts-Smith is Barbara Streisanding and Mr Beaning his way to having his alleged war medals revoked.  Kook Watch: Canberra is hosting some more grifter-cookers who are having a lot of fun appropriating Indigenous rhetoric and crashing their cars into each other. Zac uses the word synecdoche.  SPOTW: This week it's going to not only a first-time winner but a first-time poster! Richard Colbeck is leading the charge on portfolio-portfolio balance as he goes to see the cricket instead of dealing with the coronavirus.  UFU: Return UFU winner Barnaby Joyce has a text message leaked, and Scott Morrison is generally wildly unpopular.  Election Section: Shoutouts to Aiden for the new sting. Please send in more. This Election Section is about political parties' electoral funding and why it's so deeply vague/corrupt.  Read more about the issues here: https://www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/politics/2022/02/05/how-political-parties-hide-the-source-their-donations/164397960013270#mtr  Positivity Corner: Menulog drivers are to be considered employees instead of subcontractors! Woo!  Broken Clock: Prue MacSween (better known as Prunes MacStewed) has been advertising for the Greens for some reason. We also have a bit of a roundup of her greatest hits. Read/watch more about her racist nonsense here: https://www.abc.net.au/mediawatch/episodes/a-sunrise-to-forget/9972306  First Nations: the coronavirus is sweeping through remote communities; the Governments seem to have totally abdicated their responsibility.  Fashy Australia: Citipointe Christian College (no, the other CCC) has had a terrible week; first they told parents they have to sign a horrible bigoted contract, and yada yada yada the principal has now resigned. Read more about the CCC and their links with the LNP and ACL: https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2022/feb/05/citipointe-christian-college-pastor-brian-mulheran-brisbane-school-lnp-liberal-national-party-queensland  And you'll just have to listen to the end for our Pupdate!

132 - Side-Eye Steak
It's a post-heavy episode this week, with plenty of news and even a new sting/segment! We're serving up... Aperitifs: Solar grants for struggling yacht clubs; Anne Ruston manages to be deeply insulting to disabled people while trying to praise them; Centrelink doesn't have a database so much as a pile of inaccessible documents.  Positivity Corner: Zac gives us some patented Le Snak brand art analysis, about the red paint poured over colonial statues of Captain Cook.  First Nations: The copyright to the Aboriginal flag has been purchased by the Federal Government, in direct contradiction of their committee report about it.  Read more about it from Bronwyn Carlson: https://theconversation.com/amp/dont-say-the-aboriginal-flag-was-freed-it-belongs-to-us-not-the-commonwealth-175623  Blurst Take: We can't not talk about Grace Tame and the side-eye. The blurst take comes in from Peter van Onselen and the various other gross people who have published gross and demeaning takes about Tame. We also have a blesst take from Amy Remeikis and Carrie Bickmore.  Read more and watch the footage here: https://womensagenda.com.au/politics/carrie-bickmore-amy-remeikis-tear-pvo-a-new-one-over-irresponsible-and-devastating-grace-tame-comments/  Read Amy Remeikis' article about PvO here: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/jan/26/on-the-project-my-rage-bubbled-to-the-surface-thats-what-happens-when-women-are-no-longer-willing-to-make-nice  Read Kara Shlegl's article about Grace Tame, autism and masking: https://www.refinery29.com/en-au/smiling-grace-tame-autism  SPOTW: We're awarding this to Grace Tame for her tireless and cromulent posting over the last year.  Election Section: The NSW Liberal Party is a complete shambles thanks to the machinations of Alex Hawke, who wants to avoid a pre-selection battle. Meanwhile various Liberal party apparatchiks are considering legal action. South Australia continues to be extremely hilarious.  Fashy Australia: the Select Committee on Social Media and Online Safety is a total clownshow. Craig Kelly is using it as a personal vehicle to litigate his hurt feelings from twitter, and they are mainly taking evidence from active, organised homophobes and transphobes. Cool cool cool.  And you'll just have to wait til the end for our Pupdate!
