Os and Scott open by discussing One Nation's history-making result at the Farrer by-election and what it means for the future of Australian politics. Then, they talk about Tuesday night's federal budget, including the government's attempt to pitch it as generational economic reform, whether their housing tax policies will have a significant impact, and what it probably should (but won't) include.

Later, they break down a recent episode of Shameless, discussing political pragmatism and idealism and why it seemed to frustrate so many listeners.
