Choppergate

News & Politics, Podcast, Society & Culture

Pete and newcomer Tass are in for another chilly Saturday morning, in the midst of several protest marches.

First in the agenda is the strife that Bronwyn Bishop has gotten herself in with using tax money for a party, from the perspective of Dr. Jeff Robinson. Dr. Mary Crawford, MP from Mackay, is called to ask if Ms. Bishop should resign in the face of Choppergate and the Liberal’s incompetency.

Rowina Allan, Victoria’s first Gender & Sexuality Comissioner, explains what her new job entails. She is also asked about how she sees the change in appreciation of the LGBTI community across rural Victoria, as well as her thoughts on George Gershwin.

For the second hour, two members of the Desperettes talk about their show of being female ‘wingmen,’ along with an impromptu rap

Then it’s time for a star-gaze with Dr. Allen Duffy, with a focus on the dwarf planet / plutiod of Pluto.

Moving to the stars of the screen, Stephen Russell dishes on his picks of the MIFF.

Finally, it’s time to talk sports with Darren Boyd, including the week’s AFL rounds and a bit of cricket.

Aired on 18th of July, 2015.
