162: A political donations data dump & Trump’s Gaza BS

What are the odds that staffers would bet on the election results? Emerald and Tom check out the just-released AEC donations data for the 2023/24 financial year (10:19). What goss can we glean? Which party takes the most dirty cash? Then, take your blood pressure meds, cause it’s an update on Trump and Gaza (40:52). Is the US going to “take over” the Gaza Strip or is this just hot air? Why won’t the founder of the Parliamentary Friends of Palestine (aka PM Albanese) speak out? Finally, a call to action (1:10:29).  ---------- Just released on Patreon - “We listened to Dutton’s Straight Talk podcast interview” The show can only exist because of our wonderful Patreon subscriber’s support.
