Hi everybody!

Today we're going to look at the Executive Council of Australian Jewry's 2024 Antisemitism report, which is at the heart of many news stories you may have seen about rising antisemitism. We'll learn what we can about the report's author, have a gander at each of their alleged cases and see if we can't just draw maybe a slightly different conclusion.

If you'd like to read the ECAJ Antisemitism report yourself you can do so at that link. If you'd like to have a look at my spreadsheet and notes, you can do so at this Google Drive Link.

We do another mailbag episode with some questions from our Patrons, this time about the 2025 Election!

It's not that we're super excited to have more Albo, but I'm very excited to never, hopefully, deal with Peter Dutton again. One of the last few of the ScoMo diehards, Peter lost his seat amid the catastrophic Liberal party defeat to the Labor Red Wave of 2025. Damn shit's crazy.

Hi all! We joined Rose O'Hagan of the Save Victoria Park advocacy group to talk about all of the absurdities wrapped up in the plans for construction there for the Olympics. It was super cool to hear from somebody working in the actual legal and infrastructural side of things and you'll get to hear some really pretty birds as well!

Hi all! Ciaran's in, just, so much pain, so we've recorded this episode while he reclined in bed. We went through all the winners of Australian of the Year, the (modest) highlights, the (mostly) lowlights and the reflections on what the country was trying to be at the time.

We'll be back next week with our properly scripted episodes—there's two coming close to finished at once, we'll see what we do first!
