Today, we’re joined by Konrad Benjamin, the voice behind Punter’s Politics. Punter's Politics is on a mission to cut through the political spin and convince everyday Aussies (or punters) that politics actually matters. Konrad is the guy with the blonde mullet known for calling out corporate power, and using satire to make us understand and give a shit about what’s going on in the world of politics. Today we wanted to speak about political issues affecting young people, independent vs legacy media, housing and of course, gas. 

We chat:

• Konrad’s career switch from being a teacher to being a content creator
• Some of the less obvious ways that the government can be in bed with corporations
• The controversy around Aussie gas that is being given away for free
• How the media can skew your perception of political things
• Coincidence or corruption?
• Why Konrad doesn’t think you should cheer for a political team like you do for a sports team
• Why politics shouldn’t actually be complicated
