The new weekly episode of the #IJustSaidThat! podcast is up and running!

Lots to dissect this week (a #thread)... #auspol

⚠️WARNING: CONTAINS RANTS⚠️

PODCAST: "I Just Said That!", Episode No. 33 patreon.com/posts/podcast-…
On this week's #IJustSaidThat! podcast:

*The @withMEAA makes a plea to government and diplomatic officials in the spirit of solidarity for those reporting around Myanmar. Safe workplaces aren't just at risk; amid their coup, it's press freedom and human rights, too. #auspol
*States good, federal government bad -- that's the usual gist of the vaccine rollout, but when applied to the education sector, and especially in Victoria, the @AEUfederal is praising actions.

#IJustSaidThat!
#auspol
*With family and domestic violence cases on the rise, the ACTU @unionsaustralia are pushing for the doubling of leave entitlements for women to cope with the consequences for themselves and their families.

#IJustSaidThat!
#auspol
*The ACTU @unionsaustralia have also provided a bit of constructive criticism to Parliament over a tabled bill to counter statistically-proven trends around sexual harassment and gendered violence in the workplace, saying it doesn't go far enough.

#IJustSaidThat!
#auspol
All that, and yes, Gladys Berejiklian and the NSW government have been queued up in my "Almighty Serve" segment. Lack of "L" words and scapegoating seems to be their rule of the day, instead of providing proactive pandemic leadership.

#IJustSaidThat!
#auspol
Enjoy this week's edition of the #IJustSaidThat! podcast, #auspol lovers -- and your feedback and engagement is always welcome.

The "Will's Brirthday" edition of the #IJustSaidThat! podcast is up!

And on this "magnus opus" edition, there's heaps to dissect...

#auspol

PODCAST: "I Just Said That!", Episode No. 29 patreon.com/posts/podcast-…
*The #VicLockdown, the need for JobKeeper 2.0 via the ACTU's @unionsaustralia call for it, Spring Street coming to some limited rescue... three angels dancing on the head of a pin. Just listen; you'll understand.

#IJustSaidThat! #auspol
*As the Australian vaccine rollout execution has been quite poor in general, the failure in the aged care sector has been even worse. Time to handball rollouts to the states? The unions @unionsaustralia and the @HSUNational seem to think so.

The new episode of my #IJustSaidThat! podcast is up!

Episode 24, a #thread...

#auspol

PODCAST: "I Just Said That!", Episode 24 patreon.com/posts/podcast-…
On the #IJustSaidThat! podcast this week:

*Both the ACTU @unionsaustralia & the ALP have called out the Morrison government's slow rollout of the anti-coronavirus vaccine, critical of not prioritising frontline workers as well as not pursuing domestic vaccine production. #auspol
Also:

*As the @withMEAA has announced its split from the @AusPressCouncil effective in 2025, the announcement should inspire debate over the need for greater regulatory actions administered by a body fit to do it -- even if it's not the APC. #IJustSaidThat! #auspol

It's a very busy #IJustSaidThat! podcast this week! So I've decided to detail it in a #thread, as we look back at my articles of the last week with analysis, perspective, and hopefully a few laughs. #auspol

PODCAST: "I Just Said That!", Episode No. 23 patreon.com/posts/podcast-…
First of all, one of the public broadcasters in Australia lies in the crosshairs of my "Almighty Serve" segment. But, in a first for the segment on the #IJustSaidThat! podcast, their actions are not of their own doing (but not completely, anyway).

#auspol
Then we get into the four public interest/investigative journalism articles I wrote this week:

(1) The reasons and processes of how your money is being hoarded by the government and businesses -- and yes, it's all connected.

My latest article, an #OPINION piece, for the @InsideFeedHQ sport website: Jordan De Goey should NOT play for Collingwood vs Geelong tomorrow. Nor should he have played since the alleged sexual assault charges were laid against him. #auspol #AFL #THREAD

insidefeed.com.au/post/opinion-d…
In fact, due to the alleged sexual assault charges against him, the club should allow him time to fight them. #AFL #auspol
I will make this clear from the outset: This is not an anti-Jordan De Goey take. Deep down, I’m sure he is a nice, upstanding young man. Nor is it an anti-Collingwood take – as much as I want my Geelong Cats to beat them tomorrow night. #AFL #auspol

My latest for #theAIMN: In addition to other perceptions of neglect from Tuesday night's federal #budget, add the arts & entertainment sectors to that list. And @withMEAA and Greens senator @sarahinthesen8 are none too pleased. #auspol

theaimn.com/budget-leaves-… via @AusIndiMedia
Excerpt from @sarahinthesen8: "The arts and entertainment industry was one of the first to be hit by social distancing restrictions, it has suffered enormously throughout the lockdown and will be one of the last to recover."

#auspol #budget
Although federal arts and communications minister @PaulFletcherMP announced several areas of funding for those areas, @withMEAA head Paul Murphy says that the arts and entertainment sectors still remain inadequately funded. #auspol #budget

My latest sport article for @insidefeedhq: Psychological warfare, from within -- that could best describe the pressure the @GeelongCats are under, with a cut-throat @AFL semi-final vs. @CollingwoodFC ahead. And is this their last chance? #AFLCatsPies

insidefeed.com.au/post/geelong-v…
As in, a last chance at @AFL premiership glory for @GeelongCats's veteran-laden squad? Sure, @CollingwoodFC also have an older list -- but given the uncertain futures of some players, would the window for winning a flag slam shut with a Cats loss? #AFLCatsPies
Or can the @GeelongCats -- a club with a list that can win a premiership -- bottle up this sense of the pressure to win "right now" to carry them past @CollingwoodFC, then past @brisbanelions, and then to another flag? #AFLCatsPies
