140 - Choc Budge Brownies

It was the budget! And you know what that means: almost nothing. This week we're serving up...

Fashy Aus: A couple of terrible laws have been passed: the Mutual Obligations Bill and new anti-protest laws in NSW. Yikes! 

Positivity Corner: Australia is at record high levels of industrial action. And it was Trans Day of Visibility this week! <3 much love to our trans and gender non-conforming listeners and friends. 

You can read Aaminah's short essay/post here: https://www.facebook.com/itsjaythenerdkid/posts/4451279648307210 

Climate Change: once in a thousand year floods happened twice this month. It's an absolute indictment on Australia. 

First Nations: CW from 22:00 - 28:15. We're talking about yet another Indigenous man who died in prison, who had his pleas for help ignored, and who was isolated in specially designed psychological torture cells. 

Blurst Take: Pretty much the whole budget really. It's blurst takes all the way down. 

SPOTW: the one good thing about budget night is budget memes. 

Broken Clock: Liberal Senator Concetta Fierravanti-Wells AND Scott Morrison both get Broken Clock this week for their assessments of each other. 

And you'll just have to listen to the end for our Pupdate!
