Our weekly episodes are back, this time featuring special guest Matt from Discernable (who will hopefully be sticking around).
In this episode we recap a big week in politics as the federal election is finally announced but the campaign gets off to a train wreck start for Albo, while the Victorian government is finally starting to feel the heat on when they'll pull back their obsession with arbitrary and authoritarian restrictions.
