A special episode this week: Jo and Dave kick things off with a round up of the week before Jo interviews Andrew Dodd and Matthew Ricketson, the authors of Getting Murdoched: How Murdoch’s Media Wields Power and Punishment. Dave spent last week at Pine Gap supporting the local Elders, part of a a nationwide convergence on the facility to protest its war crimes and its disrespect of the land and its people. He returns with stories of the drive to the Pine Gap base, and an interview with Senator David Shoebridge. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
This week on The Sunday Shot, Jo Dyer and Dave Milner are joined by returning panelist Antoun Issa and debutant Tina Quinn from 2SER's Fourth Estate to dissect a chaotic week in politics both at home and abroad. Starting with Karl Stefanovic's departure from Channel 9 to pursue the "Australian Tucker Carlson" lane, hiring Drew Pavlou and interviewing Tommy Robinson while chasing that lucrative 30% far-right demographic. We then cover the launch of "Community Strong Australia," the new teal party formed by Zali Stegall and Allegra Spender. Is formalising into a party undermining the independents' grassroots appeal? This is contrasted with the explosive success of Mamdani-endorsed socialist candidates sweeping New York's Democratic primaries.

This week, Jo Dyer and David Milner are joined by Bruce Wolpe and first-time guest Charlie Lewis from Crikey. The panel dissects that National Press Club address, and how the media (mis)handled Hanson's inflammatory rhetoric, as well as a curious pre-event disinvitation, and why so many reporters seemed more concerned about keeping Hanson happy than holding her accountable. Also on the agenda, the Albanese government's latest capitulation to business lobby pressure on tax reform, Gina Reinhart's bizarre proposal to hand Australian islands to Elon Musk or Israeli defence contractors, and Trump's reasons for starting a war he couldn't win.

That feeling when the government's budget lacks principle and accountability, and we all suffer because the math ain't mathing on those secondhand subs we totally always wanted. Our panel looks deeper at the budget after many Senate estimates questions (and non-answers), and examines the erratic behaviour of statements coming out of the White House. Plus, Dave interviews concert pianist Jayson Gillham, formerly of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, who had a performance cancelled for speaking out about Israel murdering Palestinian journalists.
