If those pushing for nuclear energy are unwilling to live near a reactor or waste storage, then they should not be pushing for it. Once again, they are expecting others to bear the burden.
Funny I moved out of Sydney 9 years ago to a regional area in Northern NSW and since I've been here of always had to pay for the Dr. I think there's one possibly two in the area that bulk bill but I have to drive 40 mins too and takes 3-4 days to get in.
they should have had to get to the back of the queue for breaking the rules, not be rewarded
c'mon guys give it a fuckin rest! the pcr test is going to be removed as a diagnostic test from the WHO at the end of december because they cannot distinguish between an active virus or a dead one nor can it determine the difference between the flu and covid. I'd even go as far as saying that the mutations are due to vaccine escape because they are NOT VACCINES! stop trying to trick all these poor people that dont know how to think from themselves. and if you are only getting your news to read out from your bosses you seriously ought to do some more research yourselves because u are just moronic. an anagram of omicron! errrrrrr
Always worth listening too. Best of luck for the future.
I'm a oldie and if Hack was done in an ASMR I'd have to stop listening.
The minister reminds me of PM Howard's approach, it's time to move into the 21st Century.
what a flog
Excellent Podcast, the federal government thinks people relying on welfare are a burden to the community but giving the wealthy money is an "investment".
Excellent interview

I would like to bring to your attention that "Close the Gap" and "Closing the Gap" are two different things. one is a non-government push for change and the other is a response to it...
do more shows about drugs & gender, you hardly touch these topics.
they should have gone bigger with the dad joke. get a guy called Phil and a girl called sophie, and get them to be the hosts of Australia inviting people over.
hey, stop cutting people off when they're talking, it sounds like you're more keen on cutting someone off than listening to them.
this is rubbish this whole gender rubbish
I'm not even gonna bother scanning through but not surprised that you didn't cover the Google scandal. JJJ is biased scum
Deleting comments like cowards I see...
