Hello! We're back with another episode of Question Time, this time with former Liberal MP Julia Banks.  Julia was elected to federal parliament in 2016 under Malcolm Turnbull's government. But after Scott Morrison ousted Turnbull and took over as Prime Minister, Julia quit the Liberal Party and served out the rest of her term as an independent. She recently released a tell-all book, Power Play, in which she writes about sexism in politics and the toxic culture in the current Liberal Party.  We'll be back with another ~regular~ episode next Monday!  If you want to win a copy of Julia's book, her publishers were kind enough to send us a couple to give away. Head to our Instagram @oldboysclubpod to snag one. This podcast is recorded on the land of the Boonwurrung People of the Eastern Kulin Nation and we pay our respects to Elders past and present.

What has  been the family's legal battle so far and is there any chance they will be resettled in Australia?

Porter v the ABC

Hello Friends and welcome to a brand new series called 'Question Time'.  Every month(ish) we are going to be sitting down and chatting with an amazing person involved somehow in the world of politics. It's just like real Question Time but the questions actually get answered 🙃  T.W. This week's episode discusses themes of sexual assault and rape. Lifeline is on 13 11 14, and for 1800Respect call 1800 737 732.  This episode, we are beyond honoured to speak with the incredible Saxon Mullins. Saxon became a household name after bravely telling her sexual assault story, and the story of the subsequent legal battle, on Four Corners. Over the past four years, Saxon has fought to change NSW's consent laws. And just last week, the NSW attorney general announced that the govt would be amending the laws to adopt an affirmative consent model – meaning defendants in sexual assault trials will have to show they had taken steps to obtain the victim's consent.  We talk to Saxon about all the work that goes into influencing politics and changing the law as a member of the public, and how to find the strength to keep pursuing a cause despite unbelievable adversity.  We acknowledge that this podcast is recorded on the land of the Boonwurrung People of the Eastern Kulin Nation and we pay our respects to Elders past and present. This land was stolen and never ceded.  And we also acknowledge the Country that you are joining us from, and pay our respects to any Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander People who are listening today.

Over the past four years, Saxon has fought to change NSW's consent laws. And just last week, the NSW attorney general announced that the govt would be amending the laws to adopt an affirmative consent model – meaning defendants in sexual assault trials will have to show they had taken steps to obtain the victim's consent. We talk to Saxon about all the work that goes into influencing politics and changing the law as a member of the public, and how to find the strength to keep pursuing a cause despite unbelievable adversity. We acknowledge that this podcast is recorded on the land of the Boonwurrung People of the Eastern Kulin Nation and we pay our respects to Elders past and present. This land was stolen and never ceded. And we also acknowledge the Country that you are joining us from, and pay our respects to any Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander People who are listening today. Our theme music is by <a href="https://www.alexismarieweaver.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the delightful Alexis Weaver</a>. This episode was produced by Anthony Furci and Alex Tighe, with mixing and editing on this episode by Anthony Furci. Hosted by Justine Landis-Hanley and Matilda Boseley.

Question Time with Saxon Mullins

Hello friends and welcome to our very first Monday episode! And boy is it a ~juicy~ one.  On today's show: Eight teens and a nun won a massive court case proving the federal govt has a duty to protect young people against climate change. NSW Labor unceremoniously dumped the leader of the opposition, Jodi McKay.  And for our big topic, we bring you 'The Blame Game'™ – where we investigate who's actually at fault for the latest COVID outbreak and lockdown in Victoria. Is it the slow vaccine rollout? The fact we are still using hotel quarantine? Contact tracers? God!?!?  Thanks so much for listening! If you have a hot sec, we would LOVE for you to take a screenshot of you listening to Old Boys Club, post it to insta stories and tag us @oldboysclubpod. We'll shout you out on the next ep :) If you want to join our online community, you can find us @oldboysclubpod on Instagram and @oldboysclubpod on Twitter.

We're Moving to Mondays!

Welcome! On today's show: how far has Australia got with flying back vulnerable citizens from India's COVID outbreak? And what's this about delays in vaccinating those living in disability support care?

We explain the new laws, and how and why they were rushed through. Thanks so much for listening!! If you have a sec, please take a screenshot of your podcast player and post it to your Insta stories.

Budget Lock Ups and Break Downs

Happy Friday!! It's a special budget prep ep – but not before we discuss why China left the group chat and formally cut diplomatic contact with Australia this week. Plus, we talk about how literally EVERYONE is mad at the government for making it illegal for Australian citizens to come back from India. Then we deep dive into all things federal budget ahead of next week's announcement. We explain what the budget is, why the government literally locks people up to stop any secrets getting out, and give you a heads up of what to expect from this year's federal budget.
