Its our first ep back for 2021 and... it's certainly been a dramatic start to the year. We catch up on what's been happening over the last month, with the Coronavirus, the National Anthem, and the refugees and asylum seekers in Melbourne being moved. And, yes, unfortunately, we discuss some American politics too, and the awful response from our government here.PS, no, the image for the episode isn't the SPOTW, it's another awful post from George Christensen that I felt summed up the discussion we had.Support the show: www.patreon.com/AuspolSnackpod

MEGAPOD: 2020 Crossover Extravaganza

2020 has been a rough year but there's one thing that has helped each and every one of us through it: the memes. So we're serving you up a month by month recap of the memes of 2020. Strap yourself in for stale jokes, a hilarious birthday cake, quality threads, splitting the left, and more. Also we wanted to issue a correction for last week's episode. Noon said the report into elections recommended abolishing compulsory voting. That's not correct! They recommended abolishing compulsory preferential voting. Our bad and thanks to our wonderful listeners for correcting us. Support us financially and help force Zac to make a full length remix of the Snackpod theme song: www.patreon.com/AuspolSnackpod

We also got to hear her thoughts about Treaty, Indigenous deaths in custody, and how it is having to talk to Pauline Hanson. This episode is a break from our usual comedy format - we wanted to give listeners an insight on these issues from someone with a unique and important perspective.
