In their final regular episode for the year, Os and Scott discuss the aftermath of the Bondi shooting and how the media has united in an attempt to blame Anthony Albanese and push forward controversial plans that would restrict criticism of the Israeli government.
They discuss the latest in the investigation into the shooting, and how revelations the gunmen, who were allegedly radicalised by Islamic State, travelled overseas for military training and why that raises serious questions about Australia's security agencies.

Later, they unpack how news outlets across the political spectrum have worked to blame the Albanese government for the shooting, allowed Benjamin Netanyahu to drive the national conversation in Australia and rolled out the red carpet for Pauline Hanson.
Also in this episode, a conversation about why so many journalists and politicians are describing gun reform as a "distraction" and a look at the conspiracy theories that are doing the rounds.
