Episode 25 - Don’t Do as Don Dale Does

Just a total hate-in today, a real bleaker. Darcy's recovering from a literal blow to the head and Kieran's going through some weird McDonald's-induced vagueness episode, so marvel as they stumble over their own attention spans in order to talk about: the Don Dale facility, notorious hellhole where human decency goes to die. Oh, and it's a youth detention facility, so it's twice as vile. Kieran runs through some of its history and a couple of the latest developments. Spoiler: fuck all has changed in the last two years.

Darcy's got a much nicer theoretical musing on the dangers of economic nationalism. Of course, it's Trump and Brexit-adjacent, so no real quarter here. What does it have to offer vs. globalism (nothing great) and what does it mean for the hopes of a brighter, more peaceful and internationally communal future (nothing good). 

 

In headlines! Pamela Anderson puts elastic wonderboy Scott Morrison in his place; Matthew Guy has another policy basketball to shoot - whoosh! Nothing but nowt; Homophobic magazine says it had to close down due to all of the discrimination against its prejudice; and Glenn Druery's "hit-Netflix-drama-cum-baffling-disappointment-House of Cards" has started to come down, maybe, as he attempts to fully contain the Australian electoral system within a cash-based system of his design.
