Episode 40 - Optus Drama, Drama On The High C(ourt), Drama On The High (South China) Sea & Much More

Let's Save The Governor-General!

It's nearly the end of the year. It's been a topsy-turvy year. We got one more left in us.

In both Tasmania and Michigan's favourite Australian politics podcast, the three blusketeers discuss:

- Optus drops the ball.

- Gladys may take the reigns.

- Britain's High Court and Australia's High Court have their say on immigration and detention.

- Bruce Lehrmann screws the pooch.

- Ageing gracefully.

- AI and the entertainment industry
