Episode 171 - Pandemic Management in Retrospective and Monica Cops Costs

The Conditional Release Program

Listeners! This week we do a classic newsy segmenty episode where we kick off with a chat about pandemic management - former NSW police commissioner Mick Fuller looks back on how the pandemic may have been handled a little better. It was far from perfect. Did we learn any lessons though? Probably not.

We also look at the costs calamity facing Monica Smit, who kinda won her court case but still needs to pay costs to the state. Why? We have a crack at explaining the Calderbank rule.

In AV Update we look at Rob Schneider being a massive dickhead - aaaand

In SovCits we have a true FAFO moment where a free woman on the land discovers that magic words don't make kidnapping legal. Oh dear!

Pete is boring as hell and probably getting axed. Come on Pete! But he was in New Idea for some reason so we ran with that.

Enjoy!
