Van Badham and Ben Davison dive head first into the big political
stories of the week.  Morrison makes an apology for bullying
and harassment in parliament but prioritises a bill allowing the
bullying of trans children over laws that would give people
escaping family violence paid leave, make sexual harassment a
workplace health and safety issue and would mean 200,000 women
who aren't paid super got super on every dollar they
earned. 


The Australian Union Movement "We Won't Wait" Campaign continues
to press on getting real action on these issues, you can join at

Grace Tame and Brittany Higgins appeared at the National Press
Club today and outlined their concerns with the Morrison
government's inaction on violence against women and put forward
three priorities for how we can move forward on these
issues.  


Van and Ben look at the religious discrimination bill and break
down the parliamentary parlour games that are now being played in
place of making real reforms on issues impacting people while
talking through some of the hurt that is being caused.


Morrison has come to the defence of his aged care minister after
it was revealed he didn't attend senate hearings about the
COVID19 response. The Australian defence force has finally been
called into assist the sector which has seen 500 deaths in the
time between the unions and providers calling for help and the
Morrison government providing support.


QAnon and anti-vax protests in Canberra are getting support from
Morrison Senators and MP's as they call for Morrison to face a
gallows and get signed into parliament by former Liberal and
current Palmer pupper Craig Kelly.


And the good news is a million sunflowers are blooming!


Plus we are doing a Fabian's event, Van is discussing her book
"QAnon and On" and we give shout outs to our supporters, which
you can also find here
