Did the White Australia Policy End Slavery? (featuring Ryan Butta)
1w ago00:44:27Tap to summarizeOne of the most conveniently forgotten chapters in Australian history is interrogated and mapped out this week on Betoota Talks. Nobody wants to imagine that our sunburnt larrikin nation was built off the back of slaves... But a lot of it was. It's not a culture war, it's a historical fact. This week's guest, historian Ryan Butta, has compiled all of the old slave trade routes, ships, ports and beneficiaries in a fascinating and deeply disturbing new book - titled 'Blackbirding' - which is the term used for the kidnapping of Pacific Islanders who were then sold as slaves on the Australian mainland. In fact, Townsville is named after Robert Towns - a very wealthy blackbirder from Sydney's Eastern Suburbs.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Transcribe →Betoota Talks - Bill Shorten: Yes here he is, Big Billy Shorten.
Jun 2900:48:38Tap to summarizeWe spoke to Bill about a whole range of things from how current Treasurer Jim Chalmers is a shameless plagiarist who has pawned Bill's signature policy ideas off as his own, such as putting the dog up property investors and making tech start up guys quiver in their sneakers. Also returning money to workers and other woke rubbish like that designed to be divisive. As much as Bill wanted to let sleeping dogs lie, we didn't let him. Espeically on the university sector, now that he's compromised by being a Chancellor of the so-called Canberra Uni that they call a university. So for some raw opinions and an empty promise to award Errol a Doctor of Letters, listen now.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jun 2100:44:44Tap to summarizeThis week on BETOOTA TALKS, the former Liberal candidate for Sydney's Upper North Shore, Gisele Kapterian joins to talk about what drew her to the party - and why she has stayed. Kapterian has been put through the ringer in her effort to represent the people of the Bradfield electorate, and it looks like the old guard of the Liberals are just as difficult to win over as the new Teal voters. Is Kapterian the near extinct moderate politicians that the Coalition desperately needs? It looks like a thankless mission, but she's sticking with it Protect your security online with Bitdefender.
