Albanese Sends Australia to War. Plus, Reviewing the ABC's 'Q+A' Successor and... Karl and Jackie O?

As the war on Iran spirals into a global catastrophe, Os and Scott look at Anthony Albanese's decision to commit Australia's military to the conflict. They discuss how Albanese has become Trump and Israel's most reliable ally, what our military commitment really means and why Australia's political journalists still seem so uninterested in asking serious questions.They also examine the coverage of Iran's women soccer team and the players who sought asylum in Australia, as well as the new laws being rushed through parliament to prevent any further Iranians from seeking refuge in Australia.Then, they review the ABC's new 'National Forum', the successor to Q+A. They talk about how the show failed to engage the audience by playing it safe with predictable guests, and didn't present a diversity of views.In Keeping Tabs, Scott looks at the rumours that Karl Stefanovic could be set to replace Kyle Sandilands on commercial radio, and Os breaks down why Australian critics are so confused about the Oscar-nominated film 'The Voice of Hind Rajab'.Support Lamestream by visiting our website to sign up and become a subscriber.Follow us on social media:InstagramTikTokYouTube Hosted on Acast.
