]]> It’s my fourth annual year in review wrap where I look back on the big Aussie news stories of the year: the floods, the rain, the weather emergencies, the lettuce prices, it’s all here! Also I look back on the May Federal Election, the invasion of Ukraine, China’s Covid Zero uprisings and the Iran protests. Expect hilarious wacky clips and a whole lot of “wait, was that this year?”


Also our sports and showbiz reporter Stefan Pazur stops by to look back on the year on the screen and on the pitch.

The Coronavirus COVID-19 is sweeping the world… so why won’t the World Health Organisation officially call it a pandemic? Why is it only saying it has “potential” like every report card I had in high school?!

Also: Bernie Sanders swept the Nevada Caucus and is on his way to perhaps winning the Democratic nomination and maybe even beating Trump. How is he doing it? We interview Dylan James, a Kiwi academic who volunteered for Bernie in Iowa, about Bernie’s insanely dedicated and fervent ground support. And the Trump voters he encountered!

]]> It’s our double-double length look at the unpredictable 2019 Canadian election. We examine all the political parties’ bad 90’s-rock style theme songs, why Justin Trudeau can’t escape the brown face incident, Andrew Scheer’s weird pants-based catchphrases, the multicultural racism of Quebec and how Australia could provide an answer to Canada’s political uncertainty. Also expect Rush and Bryan Adams jokes.
