Os and Scott break down the significance of One Nation's record-high result at the South Australian election over the weekend and what it means for Australian politics and how it's covered. They step through what results reveal about the fracturing of the political system, how they show that One Nation is now the second most popular party in the country, and review the media's coverage of the election and One Nation.
Then they provide an update on the latest in the wars on Lebanon and Iran, and look at the significance of the Australian government warning about an impending economic shock heading our way that could be as bad as the global financial crisis or the pandemic. They discuss why the government still isn't being asked the right questions about Australia's involvement in the war, or about what they doing to protect people from the financial turbulence heading our way.
Finally, they look at the coverage of Anthony Albanese's visit to a mosque last week, that ended with him being heckled and escorted out.
