Episode 64: QAnon protests in Victoria, Morrison‘s 2022 election re-run of 2004, Strollout is the word of the year and good news

Van Badham and Ben Davison examine the Qanon manipulations that
are driving the protests in Victoria as more and more Liberal MPs
are enticed to support the far right, mock lynching, reporter
chasing extremist minority that continues to make threats against
the democratic representatives of Victoria and wave Trump flags.


Morrison has tried "who do you trust", "The Australia Way", and
pretending that being paid $1,500 a day to have haircuts and
hangout cooking BBQs was governing and is now going back to the
2004 Howard era playbook of "Interest Rates and Petrol Prices" in
his ongoing attempt to find a winning strategy.  After eight
years of Liberal/National government it is a pathetic and sad
thing for the Australian people to watch.


The word "Strollout" coined by Australian Unions leader Sally
McManus about the failures of the Morrison government vaccine
program has been named the Australian word of the year by the
Oxford English Dictionary.  Given it seems to apply to the
Morrison government approach to economic support, climate action,
job security, disaster relief and the NBN, as well as the vaccine
roll out, maybe it is the word of the Morrison "era"?


Finally, there is some good news about solar, self propelling
caravans and mangroves.
