The Conditional Release Program

In domestic politics, the MP for Leichhardt Warren Entsch is enmeshed in a scandal where it's alleged he arranged a vaccine for a Russian property developer in Queensland and received a substantial political donation as a quid pro quo. Will Entsch be the first politician off the NACC rank? As the Lehmann-Higgins saga continues, the 2 Jacks discuss possible legal reforms for victims of sexual a...

This week we delve into Jack's specialty - true crime - and ask who killed Ray Locksley? He was only a young lad when he was murdered and his life is often misrepresented by those who tell his story. So is his murder. Commonly known to be one of the many hits conducted by Chris 'rentakill' Flannery, that theory comes undone quickly when you shine a light on it. So what the hell is a ve...

The Higgins-Lehrmann saga continues apace, putting political pressure on the Finance Minister, Katy Gallagher. Will it be a career ender? HK Jack says no, not at this stage but Gallagher is likely to lose a lot of skin. Noel Pearson softens his approach on the Voice. The Bunga Bunga Carnival is over as Silvio Berlusconi dies at 86.  Bojo walks. The Ukrainian counter offensive begins. Trump could b...

The sudden resignation of WA Premier Mark McGowan has led to a burst of doubt and anxiety in the great state of WA with their political genius shuffling off stage left. Should Western Australians be sent off for counselling? The Two Jacks review the Folbigg Pardon and conclude a serious miscarriage of justice occurred. How did our criminal justice system fail so badly? Newspoll reveals a decline i...

Ben Roberts-Smith is in deep shit. The yanks are unhappy and when the yanks are unhappy bad things happen. But they couldn't happen to a nicer bloke. Jack looks at BRS's bleak future and Joel looks at what the cookers have to say about him. Mark McGowan has retired with a ridiculous record as one of the most popular state premiers in history. Did he leave because he was feeling tired or be...

Mark McGowan pulls up stumps. The shock resignation of the man who turned his opponents into political dust in WA is discussed. Why is the media fixated on describing him as a 'rock star politician'? Oh, God. I just did it, too. McGowan could have enjoyed another term at least but packed it in on top. Is the grind becoming too much for modern political leaders? Who will replace McGowan and...

Africa is largely ignored by the western world and as a result we don't learn lessons from their tragedies. Natural disasters that kill people mostly because they are poor. Wars that are shrugged off as 'African problems'. But this is something different. This is a death cult that killed hundreds in on the back of the Bible. Paul Mackenzie forced hundreds of people to starve themselves...

Joel here - apologies for the delay in getting this one up - but you can listen on the Tinfoil Tales feed at https://redcircle.com/shows/tinfoil-tales If you get it from them directly you help get them up the podcast charts (dunno where you go after number 1 though tbh) and generally help them along. But they're family to us and we will keep it here as long as they want to live at home. This e...

Arrests in HK over local soccer matches have caught the eye of HK Jack but are consultancies expensively fixing our bureaucracy in an unaccountable mess? Trouble at mill for the ABC. Bakhmut falls while F-16s are on the way to Ukraine. Death cult in Kenya. And what energy source is growing faster - coal or renewables? In sport, coaches walk away in the AFL while we look at the form guide for the T...

It has been a huge week in the world of cookerdom with a cheeky bunch of Victorian nazis trying to catfish cookers into hanging out and becoming pals. It didn't really work. But they'll be back! They had a total aryan victory. Well done boys. Top work. Maybe next time you won't fuck it up. Derek Balogh sponsors the show this week. We think he's a clever boy and a good law talkin&#3...

The Two Jacks report on the election results from Turkiye and Thailand. The latter offers hope for change while Turkiye will go to a runoff which Erdogan looks likely to win. For Europe and NATO, Erdogan's re-election is probably a case of better the bastard you know. We look at the first anniversary of the election of the Albanese government. Polling shows Albo and Labor have picked up a few...

The Two Jacks discuss the coronation of King Charles III, much of which they didn't watch because they're not terribly interested. But a raft of other republicans appear to have been glued to their screens immersed in the pageantry. It's election time in Turkey, will Erdogan pull a Trump if he loses. The Thais also go to the elections with progressive parties ahead in the polls while t...

Labor like its predecessors in government drip feed budget measures, a silly ploy according to JTI which often riles people up for no reason. In this case, it's the announcement of an increase to the Job Seeker allowance but only for those who are 55 or older. It's either all or nothing according to JTI. A YouGov poll on the Voice shows majority support in all states and territories albeit...

This week we look at the tragically unassassinated RFK Jr. whose cynical attempt to run for the democratic primary is a transparent grab for attention which only made the news because his last name is Kennedy. In other news we look at the recent conviction of mummy blogger turned kidnap hoaxer Katie Sorensen who fabricated a kidnapping attempt in the parking lot of a craft store to get internet cl...

Jenni Robertson and her daughter Melinda De Groot join Jack to discuss grief, and profound loss surrounding the death of Jenni's son, Troy. Troy died on the family property at nine years of age in 1987. Jenni has always harboured doubts about the circumstances of Troy's death. Troy may have died due to an accident but was his death a case of negligence or something much worse? New informat...

The Two Jacks discuss the strategic defence review written by former Labor defence Minister Stephen Smith and former ADF head Angus Houston. The review shows Australia's military preparedness in the increasingly hot zone of the Indo-Pacific. The Defence Dept has dropped the ball on technology and comms disruption and the easy quotes from the media about Australia entering the missile age means...

This week we are being lazy and letting the robots do the work. But hold on - is it that simple? Can you just get ChatGPT to write up and episode. Well, yes and no. You can. But to make it say what you want it to say it's a slog. It's good, but it's not great. Real estate copy? Sure. A genuinely interesting and funny podcast? It seems like our jobs are safe. But the robot had a good cr...

The Two Jacks discuss the state of legal issues around reproductive health for women in the US where abortion is banned for 43 percent of American women of reproductive age. The situation is getting worse not better after the US Supreme Court revoked Roe V Wade with outrageous laws in some states. When will it end? Not for decades according to JTI, if at all. In local news Albo gets a tick from Ti...
