00:01:23 The great Greens hope! 00:02:53 ...dashed. First, Ukraine... 00:05:24 ...and then supporting the ludicrous extra private health extra subsidy for over 65s/ 00:08:36 finally taxing family trusts isn't something to be ashamed of or walk away from 00:13:38 talking of Ukraine - did anyone making Australia buy US military equipment notice how the US sabotaged their systems at the critical moment this week? 00:21:26 over 65s aren't going to cancel private health if don't get an extra discount over everyone else, don't be absurd 00:29:00 Green grocers 00:30:40 What we missed 00:32:25 when senators go bad 00:40:43 Middle powers standing up to Israel: ALP has us off to the side covering for genocide 00:42:00 AustraliaVsHumanity we missed incl Australia deliberately killing people on social security 00:43:04 RBA governor's obscene public servant salary - how about some economic populism capping any publicly-funded salaries at a small multiple of the median wage, and also at a smaller multiple of the lowest-paid full time employee

00:01:36 How to be Heard if you're Not, you know, Fighting For Billionaires 00:05:53 Greens could go after the RBA - the media would love to have them on to call them "economic illiterates" etc, while the Greens could talk through them... 00:27:25 How TF has One Nation gone from 6% to 23% in one year? Exciting new policies? Compelling new candidates? Vast sums of billionaire money, commercial media promotion and online propaganda that were redirected from the LNP after they failed to get Dutton up? Oh, yeah, maybe that one 00:35:29 Hanson goes after gay and lesbian Australians (where the rest of her party just pretends they're "only" going after trans people), showing once again the value of solidarity. 00:37:00 Milo licks the boots of anti-immgrant fascists - and then they turn on him! 00:41:33 The original antifa 00:44:46 Climate disasters now (Nepal) and upcoming (everything Labor's doing) 00:45:17 (aside) AFR complaining about the "unintended consequence" of small businesses that use trusts to avoid tax now having to either pay a lot of money to restructure (and keep avoiding tax) OR having to pay tax - like that's a bug! And Chalmers then treating it like it is! 00:51:26 The "climate footprint" is b******t - what matters is the climate shadow Links: Richard Dennis on the Greens not picking up the voters leaving Labor https://thepoint.com.au/opinions/260901-why-the-greens-arent-picking-up-the-voters-labor-is-losing Greg Jericho on the RBA's research showing it's corporate profits not wages driving inflation https://thepoint.com.au/opinions/260901-rbas-own-research-shows-that-profits-drove-post-pandemic-inflation-not-wages Zach Schofield vs Sky News https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c__fDd1dN_U Juice media on carbon offset scam https://bsky.app/profile/thejuicemedia.com/post/3mulvh7rr2c2s Carbon shadow https://www.mic.com/impact/forget-your-carbon-footprint-lets-talk-about-your-climate-shadow Carbon footprint PR scam https://mashable.com/feature/carbon-footprint-pr-campaign-sham Factually on how capitalism is destroying the videogame industry https://www.iheart.com/podcast/143-factually-with-adam-conove-45798061/episode/is-the-video-game-industry-collapsing-342960364

00:02:09 New Victorian premier immediately makes things worse 00:06:13 Data centres 00:09:23 Offsets 00:11:55 Vic ALP notices dental care 00:12:35 Come on Greens, what are you doing 00:18:40 Murray's great bird flu success 00:21:30 social safety net 00:26:27 NDIS cuts 00:30:53 privatisation madness 00:35:45 to be fair to voters 00:46:20 the gambling reform that wasn't 00:54:22 Even more insane ASIO powers and NSW govt

Stagnating, while wages catch up 00:37:14 Stop pandering to right wing framing 00:47:56 You can be angry 00:49:01 You Don't Have To Be A Bad Person 01:08:28 How to spot the snake oil a*sehole

00:01:59 A listener's fauve-rites (Off the Rails already) 00:03:34 Back on the Rails 00:04:30 RBA raises interest rates expressly to stop unemployment falling (note: to stop it FALLING, not rising), and nobody takes accountability for the awful call 00:20:03 "Let's do the Budget" - Labor remembers capital gains should be taxed, but undermines it by grandfathering everthing and also, you know, brutalising people on the NDIS and starving the poor. 00:28:29 Why incentivising investors to build new houses is an awful idea - they'll stick Australia with s****y rental-quality "new" housing stock for decades 00:39:45 The media campaign to revive the LNP 00:42:18 Angus shows that the LNP would somehow be even worse - promising to whack permanent residents by cutting them off from access to services their taxes pay for; bringing back an indexation policy so bad that Johnny Howard had to undo it when he was Fraser's treasurer... 00:44:40 Australia becomes a new front in the war on trans people - but first, some good news with Giggle v Tickle (No 2) 00:48:55 She could have been Amanda Mander and a man demander, but alas 00:50:00 The "genocidists' hurt feelings" royal commission 00:52:36 The brave flotilla heroes 00:55:30 call for more heroic tales 00:56:06 Stupid dispatches from FART island 01:05:39 Angus's mindless and deeply embarrassing war on trans people 01:06:19 "Define it!" say morons who can't come up with a definition themselves

Amy and Tom join Nick and Jeremy to celebrate how much Australia has improved over 200 episodes of WMWS! Featuring * The ALP finally going to tax gas exports so Australia gets some revenue from those resources! (^1) * The ALP finally undoing Howard's tax changes that broke housing! (^2) * Racists finally feeling shame again (^3) * Further progress in BRS finally facing accountability (^4) * Real Labor - a way around the problem of potential left voters who hate the word "Green"? (^5) ^1 Actually not happening. ^2 Ah, yeah, not happening either. ^3 Okay actually they got support from the national media ^4 Fine, actually being criminally charged made the media suddenly forget the Federal Court already found he did this shit ^5 Only Jeremy liked this idea

Jeremy, Mike and Nick discuss * fake "anti-corruption" commissions * fake "labor" parties * fake "Australians" And HOW TO CHANGE THE WORLD

How did we get here? Where did it all go wrong? On the thirtieth anniversary of the ascendancy of the lying rodent, Amy Remeikis joins Jeremy and Nick to discuss how all the stuff you're angry about was set in place by the country's worst prime minister (fight us).

On Monday 9 February 2026, the Australian government wants you to stay home as they welcome an advocate for an ongoing genocide and give him and his far right government a PR tour built on the graves of the victims of Bondi. Does Well May We Say recommend you staying home and doing what you're told? Do you even have to ask? Warning: may contain traces of outrage.

02:48 Oh, they decided to let the ghouls have a free run - Labor folds and sets fire to basic civil liberties in an unsurprisingly pathetic attempt to appease the far right 08:18 Albo's redefinition of anti-semitism own goal 17:31 What "international rules based order". US declares "might makes right". 35:10 Where was the left when the right had a free run at the government over the New Year break?

A short episode recorded in concern about those trying to use a horrific tragedy to somehow make things even worse. * Despite their efforts, finally some action on the holes in the gun laws? * Maybe it's time for Albanese to sack the current so-called "anti-semitism envoy" and replace her with one who's actually concerned with stopping anti-semitism, and not just silencing criticism of genocide? idk something to think about

00:01:40 Prohibition of social media for under 16s. Sure, it might not protect kids from harm, and likely make the problem worse, but it's what News Corp wanted, so surely they'll be kind to us now? 00:16:15 Oh no after the tax cuts we're running out of money! Well, there's only one thing to do, and it's not reverse those tax cuts. The Ratchet! 00:29:30 Albo and AI - AI in charge of NDIS - Albo decides to leave AI alone while more of these energy and water guzzling things are planned to be built here 00:30:09 Also Victorian parliament passes insane laws to try children as adults 00:37:32 Time to repeal defamation laws, as Linda Reynolds proceeds to utterly destroy a young woman who was raped in her office. 00:44:37 Australia Vs Humanity - NT vs human rights 00:47:41 Australia Vs Humanity - Nauru check-in 00:50:50 Don't cede bad arguments of the right! 00:52:25 Modern Omelas - the whole point of borders

00:02:04 Greens and Labor reach a deal on "environment protection" bill 00:29:15 Far right polling well as other polls suggest Australians more concerned about immigration than climate change, and horrific survey results of NSW men and sexual violence. 00:38:47 Victoria police "upholding the right" 00:43:48 ALP cuts to public services ("efficiency dividend", where you remove capacity from the system) 00:50:44 Jeremy is apparently an old bastard now 00:52:14 Anti-trans nonsense at our ABC Links - Support for Greens passing environment bill - https://au.news.yahoo.com/albanese-government-passes-milestone-laws-to-protect-australias-future-045406212.html Canberra hacks on Greens and ALP - go.bsky.app/redirect?u=https%3A%2F%2Farchive.ph%2FtpFlb Australia vs migration - https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/nov/25/giridharan-sivaraman-australia-doesnt-need-another-migration-debate-tackle-inequality NSW men survey - https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/nov/24/minns-labor-pledges-action-man-box-survey-reveals-how-many-young-nsw-men-admit-sexually-harassing-women Vic Pol's wild ambit claim over Melbourne for next 6 months - https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/nov/25/melbourne-police-search-powers-warrantless-pat-downs-six-months Meanwhile heavily on side of racist protesters and against counter protesters - https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11-28/vic-police-melbourne-protest-violence-arrests/106076166 Cuts to CSIRO and public service -https://www.afr.com/policy/economy/labor-to-slash-5-6-billion-from-public-service-20251125-p5ni6g - instead how about not paying for consultants and $96.5m websites https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11-24/bom-website-approved-by-coalition-ceo-says/106047518 and not paying heads $800 - see dodgy NACC head https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11-26/nacc-ceo-apologises-for-inaccurate-evidence/106056840
