Jeremy, Mike and Nick discuss * fake "anti-corruption" commissions * fake "labor" parties * fake "Australians" And HOW TO CHANGE THE WORLD

How did we get here? Where did it all go wrong? On the thirtieth anniversary of the ascendancy of the lying rodent, Amy Remeikis joins Jeremy and Nick to discuss how all the stuff you're angry about was set in place by the country's worst prime minister (fight us).

On Monday 9 February 2026, the Australian government wants you to stay home as they welcome an advocate for an ongoing genocide and give him and his far right government a PR tour built on the graves of the victims of Bondi. Does Well May We Say recommend you staying home and doing what you're told? Do you even have to ask? Warning: may contain traces of outrage.

US declares "might makes right". 35:10 Where was the left when the right had a free run at the government over the New Year break?

A short episode recorded in concern about those trying to use a horrific tragedy to somehow make things even worse. * Despite their efforts, finally some action on the holes in the gun laws? * Maybe it's time for Albanese to sack the current so-called "anti-semitism envoy" and replace her with one who's actually concerned with stopping anti-semitism, and not just silencing criticism of genocide? idk something to think about

00:01:40 Prohibition of social media for under 16s. Sure, it might not protect kids from harm, and likely make the problem worse, but it's what News Corp wanted, so surely they'll be kind to us now? 00:16:15 Oh no after the tax cuts we're running out of money! Well, there's only one thing to do, and it's not reverse those tax cuts.

* Lefty podcasts of Australia unite! * The worst people in the country paying Bandt the compliment of gloating * Will the Greens take advice from the people who hate them?

Damn making this argument is tough * What about the Greens standing up for unions? What if we said it's being mates with "the thugs in the CFMEU"?
