The Grave Barrier Reef | Sami Shah
Today we explain why the Great Barrier Reef isn't "endangered" like those UNESCO whingers say, the PM didn't plan a hypocritical tourist visit, and Sydney and Melbourne should stop fighting each other and pick on Brisbane. And if that wasn't enough, we throw in a Norwegian sexual position known as "koala clamping". Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Melbourne is free! Well, free-ish. Within a 25km radius. Also we become the world's most popular news website, Craig once again plays/rubbishes our news game 'Cat's Pyjamas or Cat's Piss' – as though 'Win The Week' were a better title – and the interns write poems to add a touch of culture and class to the podcast.
