About this listen
Dan and Lewis are joined by Ed Husic — Australia's first Muslim frontbencher and cabinet minister, former Minister for Industry and Science, and a Western Sydney MP who clearly hasn't lost the habit of speaking his mind now that he's on the backbench.
Ed talks gas (we have heaps, we're giving it away, here's why that's insane), the Iran strikes (he was surprised Labor endorsed the action as quickly as it did), Islamophobia and the Royal Commission that didn't quite go far enough, and why Pauline Hanson voters flying on Gina Reinhardt's private jet might want to reconsider who's really kicking the system.
Plus: Ed gets kicked out of Parliament for telling Tim Wilson to sing a song, explains why he's an "MP who's Muslim" rather than a "Muslim MP," and takes Lewis's increasingly pointed questions with admirable good humour.
Also in this episode: SportsBet Junior teaches primary school kids to gamble their lunch money, and Dan previews his upcoming appearance at the Business of Comedy conference in Melbourne.
This episode was recorded on the land of the Gadigal and Gundungurra peoples.
