The Conditional Release Program

Around 4000 consumers paid $24 million to Dominique Grubisa, a Sydney lawyer. Many of those people were scammed out of their money. In this episode of the Conditional Release Program, Jack interviews anti-corruption activist Chris Baker who details the various grifts Grubisa used to fleece her clients. But what happened to the regulators and the NSW Law Society in particular? Chris gave them years...

AI slop as usual. Perplexity Pro this time - on default settings. Once all these free AI subscriptions run out y'all are getting Gemini slop but why not mix it up while we can, eh? This episode takes a hard look at a budget that may not be bold enough for the economic risks ahead. The conversation ranges from inflation and stagflation to housing, NDIS reform, political trust, demographic shift...

This is such a crap job from Gemini but when you order AI slop I suppose you get what you are given. Welcome back to the Two Jacks . It is May 4, 2026, and today Jack the Insider (Joel Hill) and Hong Kong Jack (HKJ) dive deep into a world teetering on the edge of economic and food security crises. From the "Iran War" closing the Strait of Hormuz to the ongoing "trauma" that is the...

This is a terrible time of year for me where all the assessments are coming due and the law is right up my rectum. But hey, it's interesting stuff. I now know way more about family law and succession law - this is why people call me 'the cool kid'. Anyway, we know we have a duty to you people so we make sure your trough isn't empty too long. BIG NEWS ON DESMOND FILBY - I finally wa...

AI slop brought to you by Gemini 3 (flash - thinking) and it thinks I am Jack because of the transcript. Whatever. Enjoy the show! There's a TCRP coming soon I promise! Episode Summary In episode 154 of The Two Jacks , Jack the Insider (Joel Hill) and Hong Kong Jack dive deep into the complexities of Australian identity. From the controversial booing of the "Welcome to Country" at Anza...

This weeks AI slop is being served to you by Google Gemini. Forgot to turn on thinking, so this is the 'fast' slop. Which may or may not be lesser quality than the other option which I may or may not be paying for. The robot still thinks Jack is Joel or whatever but otherwise the shownotes are objectively true and perfect and if you say otherwise a drone will land in your lap before you ca...

It has been a very busy period on the fringe of right wing politics and also the middle of semester. Which is annoying. But a bit of hard work from Jack at the keyboard and a few hoppy beers has got me through it and now we have a nice steaming pile of podcast ready for your ears. First up, of course, Desi is dead. What a lovely guy. We have a look at what he was accused of and admittedly on a ver...

Same prompt as last time except this one is claude 4.6 opus. taking bloody ages no wonder they don't to be robot executioners they wouldn't fire until the target was in another postcode. LLM more like Lame Loading Model. At least Grok was fast. Oh wow Claude is brutal. I think I will stop doing roast shownotes after this but it's pretty funny. Okay yeah this will be the last roast note...

So the shownotes are brought to you by Grok this week and this is the prompt. Please make podcast shownotes based on this transcript.  Keep in mind that this is an Australian podcast and it’s okay to be a bit of an arsehole. In fact, I encourage it. But not toward jack the insider - just toward hong kong jack who is an old lawyer who used to be a labor voter but now is more of a conservative which...

It's been a huge week on the lunatic fringe. We have the SA election where One Nation basically won the whole thing while Peter Malinauskas and his stupid giant biceps are crying into some non alcoholic beer that someone served him WITHOUT AN RSA! But yeah it's South Australia so outside of the whole One Nation litmus test don't tell me you care about ambulance ramping in Adelaide beca...

In my legally unqualified opinion we didn't defame anyone in the first 30 mins so we will give y'all a bit of content to chew on while we get the next main ep going. Notes are slop as declared! Enjoy and sign up if you want more! patreon.com/theconditionalreleaseprogram ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Big one here! Was a fun record. At the end we al...

Okay so it seems that episode 148 hasn't actually gone up yet. So I will do that later. Yes, 148 goes before 149 but we are post modern and cool like that. And hey, now you can liten to episode 148 and know HKJ is wrong instead of wondering if he will be wrong. Hindsight is 20/20 indeed. This AI slop is brought to you by Copilot 'premium' which is the one that makes the talky guns and...

Claude wrote these. I did not. Jack the Insider  and  Hong Kong Jack  are back for Episode 147, recorded on 5 March 2026. It's a massive week of news — a record Kiwi exodus to Australia, a leaked Liberal Party post-mortem, the Star Casino legal fallout, a landmark war in Iran, and a bumper AFL season preview. Settle in. Record Kiwi Migration & Trans-Tasman Economics [00:00:41] The BBC repo...

We are back and it's been a huge fortnight on the fringe of right wing politics. We have forgotten about Epstein thanks to Operation Epstein Fury - but is that really why Trump went ahead with his 'definitely not a war for the sake of congress' military operation? Probably not. But hey, that's what we said when Clinton did a PR campaign for Tomahawk Cruise Missiles over in Serbia w...

I don't think we defamed anyone in the first thirty mins so I thought I might give a snippet to the public feed to keep y'all happy till the next main ep. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Patrons! Thank you for your continued support. This thing hangs over my head like a dark cloud of unfulfilled expectations despite you all being super chill about wh...

THERE IS A FEEDBACK FROM HKJ'S HEADPHONES TO HIS MIC - THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE FIXED - I HAVE BEEN TOLD HKJ HAS BEEN YELLED AT APPROPRIATELY. AI slop from our mate Claude Sonnet 4.6 - who is a good slopmaker and a blessed robot. Jack the Insider and Hong Kong Jack are back for Episode 145, kicking off with Chinese New Year greetings before diving headlong into the Liberal Party's new leade...

Apologies for lack of freshness. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jack the Insider and Hong Kong Jack are back for Episode 144, recorded on 12 February. It's Liberal Party leadership spill eve and the boys break down whether Angus Taylor has th...

This week we are back with another news episode because there is a bloody lot going on.  First up, Jack gives a quick eulogy for his friend Jon Kudelka, a political cartoonist who used to work with Jack at the Aus. He was a good man - and a funny one - and is a loss to the nation.  We have an early days look at the violence that broke out in Sydney between protestors and police. Premier Minns keep...

From Gaza peace plans to Japanese economic roller coasters, plus Carlton's dodgy pre-season training—it's...

Ai slop as usual for shownotes. If HKJ pays me some of those HKDs then I'll maybe make an effort. Until then, eat your robot kibble and enjoy the show! Also: there are mentions of construction noise in this episode and longtime listeners will remember that early episodes were plagued with banging and carrying on. Adobe podcast managed to filter this out very effectively and it just sounds a bi...

IT WAS TERRIBLE AS THE AI EDITOR THAT TAKES OUT UMS AND AHS JUST BUTCHERED IT - ZENCASTR SUCKS It's better now. As usual, ai slop shownotes. Robots think that I am Jack or whatever. Enjoy! In this episode of The Two Jacks , Jack the Insider (Joel Hill) and Hong Kong Jack (Jack) dive into a packed agenda of Australian and global politics. They start with the federal government's urgent move...

Listeners! We are long overdue for a news episode but this one dated bloody quickly - that being said, it's not completely pointless and there's plenty of meat left in this sandwich. Just pretend it's last week and be all like 'oooh I wonder what version of this bill will pass'. We will probably do something more concrete to follow up next week. Lots to discuss here. Anyway, th...

AI slop as usual. Enjoy! In this wide-ranging episode, the Two Jacks dissect Australia's improved bushfire response amid the Victorian fires, the newly announced royal commission under Justice Virginia Bell, Kevin Rudd's resignation as US Ambassador, escalating unrest in Iran and Venezuela, Ukrainian paramilitary intrigue, US political and economic turbulence, and a detailed cricket analys...

We love Dave. He turns up to things, he watches all those cringe videos and he keeps an eye on all the cooked little gremlins trying to evangelise the noble pursuit of racism, intolerance and paranoid conspiracy theories. Bless. He's been to a few rallies. We had a chat about that and some other things. It was like 3 weeks ago and it's finally being uploaded. To be honest, guys, it's b...
