Description

Are you sick of news you can trust? For over 200 years, The Chaser has been the world's leading source of news you can't trust.

The Chaser Report offers a satirical look at Australian and world news and culture, along with occasional confessions of parenting and business failures, the latter often involving an amusingly large number of unsold avocado pool toys.

The show is hosted each day by two of the satirical comedy group’s co-founders, Charles Firth and Dom Knight, along with occasional cameos from more talented, less available Chaser colleagues.

good day fellows. Can I suggest regarding your ad this morning for Amazon, that you have a look on Amazon for a review of Veet for men. Please have an external defibrillator handy since you will laugh so much you will E either crap yourself or have a great attack. Please note the defibrillator is not for use if you crap yourself. It's in case of the second option. Have a great day and thank you for your podcast which I listen to religiously. Kangaroo Jack Queensland

I wish you could meet a macropod Joey who has just lost his or her mum in a traffic accident Charles. They literally grieve for days. They sit in our jackets for up to 3 weeks crying until they finally accepts they have lost their mum, and we change our role from carer/cleaner/ source of warmth, to bring their mum. They even call us to let us know we are accepted. Australia's slaughter of wildlife is the biggest land based slaughterers of wildlife on the planet. I always laugh when I hear we are having a go at Japan over whales, then stand on my back steps and listen as 600 animals which are not yet sexually mature, begging Dogg food at the hands off folks who misty people don't speak to. Joke all you like if it entertains you, but remember these animals are smarter than your family dog, and please don't feed your family dog, anything with the kangaroo in it. Kangaroo Jack.

sorry just to fact check- Dr Honey is the Liberal leader in WA- Mia Davies is the opposition leader, because the Nationals are the ones in opposition.
