Two Aussie punters trying to make politics simple for the everyday punter.

This week Konrad blows the lid off explosive emails that were buried - showing how regulators (that are meant to look after us punters) covered up a mining industry lead poisoning scandal. Plus, another scare campaign, a $1.8 billion Robodebt payout (while no one in power actually faces consequences), and the knock-back techniques used by the politicians dodging our invites to the Political Fundraiser. Shoutout to Funky Pies Bondi for helping to sponsor the event!

Punter's Politics

Lead Poisoning Cover-Up, Robodebt Fallout, A Love Letter & Who TF Is James

In our brand-new segment, pollies get just 60 seconds to pitch their best ideas to punters we’ve pulled straight from our DMs. First in the Punt Tank is Allegra Spender, pitching a capital gains shakeup. Will she get a Punt or a Pass? Plus, Labor’s so called transparency gets shredded, and Qantas cops a fine (but is it enough to pep up the punts??)

Labor's Secrets, Politician Enters the Punt Tank & Qantas Smacked (sort of)

Konrad scores a last-minute ticket to Canberra’s Midwinter Ball and spills the tea - from selfies and schmoozing to corporate sponsors buying access. Plus an alleged Labor insider who we'll refer to as Punter D. reveals how fundraising really works, we unpack the media’s ‘death tax’ bait, break down Bob Katter’s wild political manoeuvre, and finish on a high with a pep-up for whistleblowers.

A Death Tax?! Konrad's Recon Mission & Labor Insider Spills Secrets

Think calling yourself a centrist makes you sensible? Economist Richard Denniss says it's actually the greatest con in politics - a trick that lets our leaders dodge hard decisions while serving powerful interests. We break down how 'radical centrism' keeps the status quo alive, and how punters can see through the smokescreen. Plus, we've got fundraiser updates, and a call out for your cheap ways to look rich ideas... give us a good one and we might get you on the pod.

The 'Sensible Centre': Smart Politics or Pure Cowardice? With Richard Denniss

This week Konrad and James unpack a few of the wildest moves Aussie politics has made recently - from Konrad becoming a Karen, to Labor quietly letting PwC out of exile after it sold government secrets to Big Tech. Plus, a spin tactic Konrad had used against him… and how you can use it to your advantage.Grab your ticket to the lobbyist fundraiser - rollout of release:Wednesday 20th Aug: Patreon subscribersThursday 21st Aug: Mailing List subscribersFriday 22nd Aug: All other puntersPunter’s Politics Political Fundraiser Tickets: https://www.punterspolitics.com/pages/punters-political-fundraising-dinnerBe a dark money funder to help hire a lobbyist for the punters: https://chuffed.org/project/134297-fund-australias-first-punter-powered-lobbyistSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Konrad’s a Karen, PwC’s treason, and HECS wins for Punters

Become a DARK MONEY Funder 😉 This week, Konrad and James unmask the real story behind Adani’s Carmichael mine - a billion dollar operation that’s paid zero corporate tax in over three years… and might never cough up a cent. From inside the corridors of Canberra’s tax summit to awkward run-ins with mining lobbyists, the boys break down how the system is rigged, and why young Aussies are carrying the load. Plus, Sticky Bandits, divided polls, and an update on the plans for our fancy fundraiser.Tickets released:Wave 1: Wednesday 20th August (Patreon Subscribers)Wave 2: Thursday 21st August (Mailing List)Wave 3: Friday 22nd August (All other Punters)Power to the Punters.
