This week, Konrad and James expose how America's biggest tax-dodging corporations are crying to Trump to pressure Australia into scrapping our new laws that force them to publicly reveal where they pay (or don't pay) their taxes. Plus, we break down the red flags to spot online gurus who might be full of BS, and we Announce the HOST of the Punters Gala Dinner (It's Osher Günsberg), Finally we watch Trump throw a proper Karen tantrum when an ABC journalist dares to ask him about his dodgy business dealings.

This week Konrad blows the lid off explosive emails that were buried - showing how regulators (that are meant to look after us punters) covered up a mining industry lead poisoning scandal. Plus, another scare campaign, a $1.8 billion Robodebt payout (while no one in power actually faces consequences), and the knock-back techniques used by the politicians dodging our invites to the Political Fundraiser.

In our brand-new segment, pollies get just 60 seconds to pitch their best ideas to punters we’ve pulled straight from our DMs. First in the Punt Tank is Allegra Spender, pitching a capital gains shakeup. Will she get a Punt or a Pass? Plus, Labor’s so called transparency gets shredded, and Qantas cops a fine (but is it enough to pep up the punts??)

Konrad scores a last-minute ticket to Canberra’s Midwinter Ball and spills the tea - from selfies and schmoozing to corporate sponsors buying access. Plus an alleged Labor insider who we'll refer to as Punter D. reveals how fundraising really works, we unpack the media’s ‘death tax’ bait, break down Bob Katter’s wild political manoeuvre, and finish on a high with a pep-up for whistleblowers.

Think calling yourself a centrist makes you sensible? Economist Richard Denniss says it's actually the greatest con in politics - a trick that lets our leaders dodge hard decisions while serving powerful interests. We break down how 'radical centrism' keeps the status quo alive, and how punters can see through the smokescreen. Plus, we've got fundraiser updates, and a call out for your cheap ways to look rich ideas... give us a good one and we might get you on the pod.

This week Konrad and James unpack a few of the wildest moves Aussie politics has made recently - from Konrad becoming a Karen, to Labor quietly letting PwC out of exile after it sold government secrets to Big Tech.

Become a DARK MONEY Funder 😉 This week, Konrad and James unmask the real story behind Adani’s Carmichael mine - a billion dollar operation that’s paid zero corporate tax in over three years… and might never cough up a cent. From inside the corridors of Canberra’s tax summit to awkward run-ins with mining lobbyists, the boys break down how the system is rigged, and why young Aussies are carrying the load. Plus, Sticky Bandits, divided polls, and an update on the plans for our fancy fundraiser.Tickets released:Wave 1: Wednesday 20th August (Patreon Subscribers)Wave 2: Thursday 21st August (Mailing List)Wave 3: Friday 22nd August (All other Punters)Power to the Punters.

Become a DARK MONEY Funder 😉 Gary Stevenson (aka Gary’s Economics) made millions betting on the collapse of the middle class. This week he joins Konrad to unpack why wealth inequality isn’t just getting worse (it’s structural) and what we can do to stop the rich getting richer while the poor get poorer (listening to this episode is honestly a solid start). Plus he delivers a personalised message to our very own homegrown billionaire Gina Rinehart Buy Punters T-shirts Support We the Punters on PATREON  What Punter are you? Take the Quiz!
