Auspol Snackpod: Australian Politics and Memes

Australia's foremost political nobodies are back again, and we have a minimally corona-oriented episode this week. We're serving up a blurst take from Kristina "White Australia" Keneally, the Queensland Premier getting a fake vaccine, a tasty potluck from a listener, and for mains we're having a snack platter of Eden-Monaro related shenanigans. 

Our entree is about George Pell, if you don't want to hear it you can skip to 5:38.

Plus we have an amazing potluck from Tom Tanuki. So plug it into your earholes, tuck in your napkins, and enjoy some snackpod goodness.

Hello snackerfans! This month we've got an extra-extra-long bonus episode, and it's one that we've decided to release for non-patrons because it's full of important stuff we keep not having time for during the regular show. 

We've done a bit of a deep dive into four marginalised groups - women and children in abusive relationships, First Nations people, refugees and asylum seekers, and disabled people - and the way that COVID-19 is disproportionately affecting them. 

We hope you enjoy the show (despite heavy content) and learn something from it - we definitely learned a lot while researching it. Thanks for listening and especially to our Patreon supporters for letting us keep on making the show and the bonus eps!

We've got some tasty treats for you this week as the NRL secedes from Australia, PSOs become even more wildly dangerous and NSW continues to produce absolutely terrible politicians. We also have some hot meme news because an IPA landlord tried to troll us.
