    Best of News Fighters: Putin's phoney call-in show! (from 2021)

    After 5 years and 125 episodes News Fighters is going on indefinite hiatus while I work on other projects. But in the meantime I thought I’d re-release some classic episodes to the podcast feed to recap some of our better, least topical moments which hold up to this day.
    An incredibly huge thank you to everyone who's listened, shared, guested, hosted and written with us, especially regular contributors Stefan Pazur and Bec Melrose, and Dan Ilic at A Rational Fear.

    Best of 2022: Our Election Night Recap & Waiting for Gonski co-author Tom Greenwell.

    For this week’s classic summer episode I replay the Federal Election Night Recap show originally released on May 22, 2022 that recaps why Scott Morrison lost and what we can expect from new PM Anthony Albanese.
    Then I replay my election interview with Tom Greenwell, co-author of the book "Gonski: How Australia Failed Its Schools" about how our politicians keep failing our education system. Order the book here: https://unsw.press/books/waiting-for-gonski/
