Lamestream

Show Notes

Os and Scott break down the Greens leadership change, what it means for the party's future, whether they missed an opportunity to engage the public more broadly with their direction, and why the media has always been so bad at covering the party's internal politics.

Then they discuss the fallout of OpenAI's Medicare hack in Australia, and how it is leading to calls for further regulation of AI around the world, except at home. They also report on the tension at Nine's newspaper division, with a serious of high-profile defections to a competition publication.

Finally, in Keeping Tabs, Scott reports on how the UK government has shifted towards a more hardline stance against Israel, why this shift happened, and how it leaves Australia isolated.
