Pietro and Floyd look at the recent movements in Australian Parliament—namely the MAD (Misinformation and Disinformation) Bill failing this past week after independent Senators Lambie, Pocock, and Payman all announced they would vote against it. The Libertarian Party was instrumental in mobilising community members contacting the Senators’ offices and pleading with them to vote against it.

Unfortunately, while this encroachment on free speech seems to be momentarily forestalled, the Social Media Ban for all kids under 16 will pass next week with bipartisan Labor and Liberal support, and Albanese and Dutton arguing over who supports it more.

Pietro and Floyd also take a look at the recent ‘haka’ demonstration in Parliament by the Te Maori party in response to David Seymour from the Libertarian party (ACT) over there attempting to remove some of the enshrined privileges the indigenous have been enjoying there at the expense of the taxpayer.

Unburdened by what has been (and what could have been), Pietro, Max, and Floyd look at the re-election of Donald Trump as the President of the USA. They do some result analysis of the swing states such as Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Georgia. They also look at the mistakes of the Kamala Harris campaign (such as choosing to tour with Liz Cheney), and they talk about some of Trump’s promises and the likelihood of him keeping them.

The more important libertarian-esque promises include freeing Ross Ulbricht, appointing Elon Musk (and Ron Paul) to shrinking government size, ending the Ukraine-Russia war, and appointing RFK Junior as the head of the FDA.

They also take a look at Libertarian Party candidate Chase Oliver and analyse what could be the reasons behind his poor result compared to previous Libertarians running for President.

Pietro and Max catch up on a slew of recent news. First, Libertarian MP David Limbrick this week dropped the monumental bombshell that there was a recording of 000 call made by Dan Andrews in 2013 following the ‘bike boy’ incident, where he and his wife hit and hospitalised a 15-year-old cyclist. The recording reveals Andrews admitting ‘we hit him’, after police investigations had squashed the story for years.

In US politics, it appears the Trump campaign has another drawcard for libertarian voters, as Elon Musk has a public exchange with libertarian icon Ron Paul on X inviting him to be a part of the new ‘Department of Government Efficiency’ (DOGE) which Trump plans on making Musk the head of.

Finally, the two look at the recent betting odds for who will win the US Presidency, Donald Trump or Kamala Harris, set to be uncovered on Wednesday.
