46:59 The golden rule

* Labor politicians across the country celebrate the party suffering a large swing against it in Queensland and losing government to the LNP, because it might possibly have won a seat from the Greens on LNP preferences

* Nick apologises

* Nick Has A Plan For The Regions

* Jeremy Bangs on About Boardgames

* Jeremy's Still Banging on About Boardgames

* Poor Nick

In the beginning, Lidia was "rude" to the British monarch. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded, by the worst people in the country, as "a bad move".

A quick one (well, once Nick found the SD card with the recording three days later) mainly about that time Albo bought a house on the coast and almost everyone missed the point.

We’ve sort of recovered enough from Australia beclowning itself on reconciliation to try to get back on the podcast horse. Fortunately, there’s new and more uplifting stuff to talk about!

Australia beclowning itself on housing;

Australia beclowning itself on civil rights; and

Australia beclowning itself on what you’d think was a really easy one, whether it should oppose genocide or not

Australia just beclowned itself.

Why? What can we do next?
