We're very sad to announce that Auspol Snackpod is coming to an end. We've got a regular news episode for you this week, then next week will be some kind of special finale episode. It's your LAST CHANCE to send us potlucks about news, politics, or memes, or really anything and we'd really love to hear from you so PLEASE record yourself speaking for a minute and send it to us at [email protected].
We also have another bonus episode to do and our plan is to answer EVERY SINGLE QUESTION OR REQUEST all in one bonus episode so please suggest topics! Even if you're a $1 patron, this is a liquidation sale, EVERY TOPIC MUST GO!
We have a couple more episodes in the works, and some schemes for the future, but this is the end of Snackpod as a weekly news / current affairs-ish sort of show. It's been our absolute pleasure and honour to make the show for you all and we can't thank you enough for tuning in every week and supporting us with your time and haha reaccs.
Well, we still have this episode for news, politics, and memes, so this week we're serving up...
Positivity Corner: SEQUR, a staunch QLD renters union, block the eviction of a disability pensioner.
Election Section: Unfortunately Clive's huge spend technically got a result as Rrrrrrrralph Babet has been elected UAP senator for Victoria (sorry). Lambie also got a new senator, Tammy Tyrrell (not to be confused with Tammi Terrell).
Fashy Australia: Labor is going ahead with Liberal debt recovery plans to punish people on welfare. Also a change in how mutual obligations work.
First Nations: Seven artefacts have been returned from the Kluge-Ruhe Aboriginal Art Collection to the Walpiri people. Now do it for the 2200 other items.
Climate Cookies: Sam sent us another awesome potluck about offset mechanisms and useless "limits" on emissions.
ACAB: NSW govt and police are targeting Blockade Australia activists in pretty horrible ways. You can support them here: https://chuffed.org/project/blockade-australia-support-fundraiser
Potluck: Josh tells us about libraries (and a way to contain the evil power emanating from this piece of Gina Rinehart's soul)
SPOTW: The future is now
Business: Don't follow us, that's silly. Just send us your bonus episode suggestions and your final potlucks!
And you'll just have to wait til the end for our Penultimate Pupdate!

Kook Watch/First Nations: Travis brings us a new concept for the segment - how can we PROVE BEYOND DOUBT that the Uluru Statement from the Heart is part of Craig Kelly's nefarious plans?
Blurst Take: *looks at watch* Oh is it transphobia in the Victorian Greens time already? Zac takes us through what's been going on with the elections for Convenor.
Positivity Corner: Minimum wage rise babbyyyyyyyy. It's still bad! Haha, economics.
Election Section: Hanson got back in. Abetz got the boot. We all voted for Kodos. Plus a rant from Travis about democracy.
UFU: *looks at watch* oh is it capitalism destroying essential services time already? The Energy Market is a complex and evil (and expensive) machine. But don't worry, no billionaires will be harmed as a result.
Mains: Travis needs help with casting a film. Noon scrolls through IMDB pretending to be able to recognise faces.

Zac's been taken to a black ops site on a small island, so we're releasing last month's bonus episode this week! It's a fun, loose and long one today because we dived as deep as we could into some whacky (or are they??) Australian conspiracy theories.
As the basis of our research we used @John_Macgowan's "definitive Australian conspiracy theory iceberg" which you can see in high(er) res here: https://mobile.twitter.com/john_macgowan/status/1333922659185303553
The ones we ended up going into were: RAAF Min Min Lights Investigation, Tamam Shud, Bjelke-Petersen Death Camps, pre-colonisation viking settlements, and Lightning Ridge vril mining. If you want to send us bonus potlucks about any of the ones we didn't cover we would absolutely love that. Try to make it as a) brief and b) ranty as possible. Preferably you should be pointing emphatically at diagrams that can't be seen by the listener.

We had an election! Not sure if you heard. This episode is in two parts, the first part on Election Day and the second part after the results have come in. It's a loose & fun one where we just shoot the shit.

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).

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...

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.

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.
