  Dr Richard Denniss on the Great Australian Gas Scam

  Aug 18, 202643 min

  The Australia Institute's Dr Richard Denniss speaks about his new essay "MORE FOOL ME: How the gas industry tricked Australia" and the multi-generation scam pulled on Australian citizens and politicians by the fossil fuel industry, and says the only way forward is to own up to the fact that Australians were fooled. One by one, Jo and Richard pick apart the gas companies' excuses for why they shouldn't be taxed -- and examine why our elected representatives and our media are giving voice to these corporations' talking points.

  Karl, Keir, and a Party of Two - Antoun Issa and Tina Quinn

  Jun 27, 20261h 5m

  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.
