In Episode 432, Trevor, Scott, and Joe reunite for a diverse panel discussion on local and international political issues. The episode starts with personal updates and what the hosts are grateful for, followed by a review of recent Facebook stream issues. They delve into various pressing topics: the proposed increase in social media access age by the Coalition, recent polls showing Dutton's rise over Albanese, and the skewed narratives in media. The crew dissects the ongoing Israel-Gaza conflict, its parallels to the Voice debate in Australia, and brings attention to the propaganda permeating mainstream media. Global matters such as the surge in far-right politics in France, the upcoming UK elections, and details about the controversial AUKUS submarine deal are discussed. Additionally, discussions cover the state of democracy in the U.S., China's rising technical prowess, and emerging geopolitical movements in Georgia.
