Also, the fallout for our cancelled submarine deal with France continues with the EU delaying negotiations for a Free Trade Agreement.

Coronas: The Victorian outbreak is getting real big and scary, though we're getting closer to our vaccination targets. We also look at how the Disability Royal Commission has put the government on blast for their sneaky and underhanded decision to remove people with disabilities from the vaccine rollout.

ACAB: Queensland cops are suing their employer over the vaccine mandate. Do YOU have thoughts about the vaccine mandate? Because we don't know what we should think.

Potluck: Our listener Peter had some thoughts about recruitment tactics.

First Nations / Positivity Corner: The Daintree Rainforest and three other National Parks have been officially handed over to the management of the Eastern Kuku Yalanji Bama (people).

SPOTW: It's a Gladys roundup!

UFU/Mains: We remind you what happened with Gladys and Daryl and ICAC, and catch you up with the events of this week, and the likely replacements for Gladys both in the seat of Willoughby and as Premier of NSW.

And you'll just have to listen to the end for our Pupdate!
