- 51 minutes 42 secondsBetoota Talks: What’s The Go With New Zealand? (ft. Guy Williams)
This week Clancy and Errol attempt to finally answer a question that has plagued Australians for generations: what’s the go with New Zealand? From their polite accents and suspiciously competent rugby teams to their intense loyalty to provincial towns nobody here has heard of, this episode unpacks our strange cousins across the ditch. Thankfully, Kiwi comedian and New Zealand Today creator Guy Williams drops in to explain the cultural quirks, small-town politics, tall poppy syndrome and national psyche of Aotearoa... and why Australians still somehow don’t quite get it.

There is a famous saying about politics '“There are decades where nothing happens, and there are weeks where decades happen”. Last week felt like a decade. The Federal Coalition has imploded. The entire concept of an 'Opposition' now ceases to exist. What the hell has happened? The Betoota Advocate attempts to explain 'The Coalition' - what it is, how it functions, and why has it all gone to shit. Joining the editors is one man who knows all too well how dysfunctional this political institution has become: former Liberal Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull.
