Then they are joined by the only good (adult) Aussie journo, Rachel Withers! (31:20) They chat about the failed motion in parliament for Palestinian statehood, Fatima Payman, Julia Gillard’s intervention, the weird AI Rafah meme, and Laura Tingle’s controversial comments that Australia is a racist country.
