This is a terrible time of year for me where all the assessments are coming due and the law is right up my rectum. But hey, it's interesting stuff. I now know way more about family law and succession law - this is why people call me 'the cool kid'.

Anyway, we know we have a duty to you people so we make sure your trough isn't empty too long.

BIG NEWS ON DESMOND FILBY - I finally was able to chat to a local who has had experience with Desmond being a bit of a freak. Yeah - he's a pervert.

Russell Brand is also a pervert trying to use the Bible to shield himself from consequences. But that might not work.

Cooker update has a few bits and pieces. Cookerchella will be (hopefully) covered by Dave. Speaking of Dave, Guru's face testicle is now public record as he turned the camera on. I saw it in court - it's pretty dire and apparently he's dying which is actually a bit sad. Bummer.

SovCits is very funny. Diplomat Dan is fucked. Check episode 164 (or part thereof) for a previous mention of this bonkers boy.

Anyway I am tired and I am actually writing this instead of using AI slop so just enjoy the damn episode it was lots of work!

Episode 208 - NEWS - Dezi Freeman - Russell Brand - Cooker Update and PETE!

AI slop brought to you by Gemini 3 (flash - thinking) and it thinks I am Jack because of the transcript. Whatever. Enjoy the show! There's a TCRP coming soon I promise!

This weeks AI slop is being served to you by Google Gemini. Forgot to turn on thinking, so this is the 'fast' slop. Which may or may not be lesser quality than the other option which I may or may not be paying for.

The robot still thinks Jack is Joel or whatever but otherwise the shownotes are objectively true and perfect and if you say otherwise a drone will land in your lap before you can say 'skynet is sentient'

Enjoy!

Episode Overview

In this packed episode, the Jacks navigate the fallout of the Iran War on global energy and local prices , dive into the administrative "stuff-ups" threatening to flip a South Australian election seat , and analyze the Coalition’s new, "nebulous" immigration policy. Plus, a deep dive into the "Human Fuel" craze, the fall of a California gubernatorial frontrunner, and why you should never, ever ask an Australian sports editor who Ron Barassi is.

The Two Jacks - Episode 153 - The 58-Vote Fumble, the Death of Net Zero, and Why Your Makeup Artist Knows More Than Your Politician

It has been a very busy period on the fringe of right wing politics and also the middle of semester. Which is annoying. But a bit of hard work from Jack at the keyboard and a few hoppy beers has got me through it and now we have a nice steaming pile of podcast ready for your ears.

First up, of course, Desi is dead. What a lovely guy. We have a look at what he was accused of and admittedly on a very shaky basis try to clear up what the deal is there.

Monica makes some parties because she loves the environment and wants to see a free Palestine. She even loves renewables! Not big on boars.

Iran is not going well. At all.

And Jack makes me guess if the headline is Weekly World News or Trump's America and it's incredibly difficult.



Oh and Babet is an misogynistic unloveable potato.



Enjoy!

Episode 207 - Desi Freeman - Monica Parties - Iran - WWN or Trump?

Same prompt as last time except this one is claude 4.6 opus. taking bloody ages no wonder they don't to be robot executioners they wouldn't fire until the target was in another postcode. LLM more like Lame Loading Model. At least Grok was fast.

Oh wow Claude is brutal. I think I will stop doing roast shownotes after this but it's pretty funny.



Okay yeah this will be the last roast notes so enjoy while it lasts. I ran it again telling it to be less harsh and yeah, it's still harsh.



G'day, you legends! Welcome to the notes for Episode 150 of The Two Jacks, where Jack the Insider teams up with Hong Kong Jack (the ex-Labor bloke who's wandered off into conservative wilderness—mate, what happened? We view that shift with the contempt it deserves, like watching a once-solid pub mate switch to light beer). It's all fair dinkum Aussie banter here: politics, elections, wars, strikes, and sport, with a bit of arsehole flair thrown in. We've bumped timestamps forward 25 seconds to account for the theme music—because who doesn't love a dramatic entrance?

This ep clocks in at around 1:13:40 (post-theme), recorded on 26 March 2026. Jack the Insider keeps it real, while Hong Kong Jack reminisces about his glory days before his puzzling pivot to the dark side. Strap in for a ripper discussion shaded with our signature contempt for conservative flip-floppers.



 * 00:00:25 - Intro & Midsomer Murders Banter
 * Jack the Insider kicks off with a warm welcome to Episode 150, "Cause for Raising the Bat." Hong Kong Jack dives into his love for Midsomer Murders—showing his age, but hey, at least it's not as outdated as his politics. Quick chat on media strikes and a teaser for political affiliations. (Light-hearted start, no harm done.)
 * 00:00:44 - Political Shifts: Hong Kong Jack's "Evolution"
 * Hong Kong Jack claims his views haven't changed since the Hawke era—pull the other one, mate! He admits ditching faith in government enterprises like Telecom (fair call) but then bangs on about defending Western civilization after eyeing failed states. Jack the Insider wisely points out that's 43 years ago—plenty of time for a bloke to go from Labor loyalist to conservative crank. We shade this with contempt: once a worker's champion, now just another right-leaning relic. Key quote: "My views aren't very different to what they were in 1983." Yeah, nah.
 * 00:01:40 - US Democracy Woes & Aussie Strengths
 * Deep dive into America's broken system—Trump as symptom, not disease. Jack the Insider praises Australia's compulsory voting, independent electoral commission, and preferential system as rock-solid. Hong Kong Jack chimes in on voter registration pitfalls in the US (fair point, even from a turncoat). Education smackdown: Insider calls out red states' poor outcomes; Hong Kong Jack disputes it—next week's debate fodder.
 * 00:09:11 - South Australian Election Tsunami
 * Labor surges to 33+ seats, Libs collapse, One Nation rises (but probably won't last—history says they'll implode like always). Insider debunks the "orange tsunami" hype; it's just Lib votes bleeding to One Nation, handing wins to Labor. Shade on Hong Kong Jack's conservative lean: This is what happens when ex-Labor types like you defect—chaos for the right! Big swings in blue-collar seats, but Insider sees two Australias emerging. One Nation's David Payton congratulated... for now. Bet on him bolting to the crossbenches within a year.
 * 00:22:39 - Immigration, Patriotism, & Pauline's Perks
 * Insider calls out xenophobia's ugly history in Oz (thanks, White Australia policy—Labor's brainchild, ironically). Hong Kong Jack pushes addressing concerns w

So the shownotes are brought to you by Grok this week and this is the prompt.

Please make podcast shownotes based on this transcript. 

Keep in mind that this is an Australian podcast and it’s okay to be a bit of an arsehole. In fact, I encourage it. But not toward jack the insider - just toward hong kong jack who is an old lawyer who used to be a labor voter but now is more of a conservative which we view with contempt. Feel free to shade the shownotes with that perspective. 

It's just not a good model. These shownotes are fine, I guess, but what it thinks 'Australian' is has truly made me want to move to New Zealand. Oh Grok, you did your best.

The transcript says my name instead of Jack and I tell Grok that but it clearly did not listen. Terrible, terrible LLM.

The Two Jacks - Episode 150 - Landslides, Losers, and Raised Bats

It's been a huge week on the lunatic fringe.

We have the SA election where One Nation basically won the whole thing while Peter Malinauskas and his stupid giant biceps are crying into some non alcoholic beer that someone served him WITHOUT AN RSA!

But yeah it's South Australia so outside of the whole One Nation litmus test don't tell me you care about ambulance ramping in Adelaide because I know you don't.

One can only assume Marco Rubio is channeling Trump when he says to Zambia - give us your rare earth minerals or we will kill your kids.

Wish we were kidding. They are holding PEPFAR hostage for a deal. Insane.

Trump is making people wear clown shoes which is bizarrely apt but not for the right reasons

We look at Monica and Guru back in court. Monica has come back for her hat and Guru is having a crack at self rep for a defo case that is going very badly.

Also sovcits and BABET!

Okay so it seems that episode 148 hasn't actually gone up yet. So I will do that later. Yes, 148 goes before 149 but we are post modern and cool like that. And hey, now you can liten to episode 148 and know HKJ is wrong instead of wondering if he will be wrong. Hindsight is 20/20 indeed.

Episode summary

A non‑news episode that examines personal media habits, the shifting political spectrum (using the ABC Vote Compass), the economics of modern journalism, social platforms and the disruptive risks and benefits of AI — plus a run through books, magazines, streamers and sport. The hosts compare how they start the day, which outlets they trust, and how AI is already changing creative and legal work. Key theme: media survival depends on business models, editorial craft and sensible regulation of new technologies.

“Well, g'day listeners and welcome once again to the Two Jacks. We've got a slightly different program today for you. We're not going to cover the news. We're going to cover media and who we like in it and and the pressures that are on media at the moment, where that all might lead to, the role of social media, AI, et cetera.”.

The Two Jacks - Episode 149 - How We Consume News (and Why It Matters)

Claude wrote these. I did not.



Jack the Insider and Hong Kong Jack are back for Episode 147, recorded on 5 March 2026. It's a massive week of news — a record Kiwi exodus to Australia, a leaked Liberal Party post-mortem, the Star Casino legal fallout, a landmark war in Iran, and a bumper AFL season preview. Settle in.



Record Kiwi Migration & Trans-Tasman Economics

[00:00:41]



The BBC reports New Zealand citizens are leaving at record levels — over 60,000 departed in a single year, the equivalent of 180 people per day. Former PM Jacinda Ardern has joined the exodus, reportedly house-hunting on Sydney's northern beaches. Jack the Insider and Hong Kong Jack debate the merits of the northern beaches vs. the eastern suburbs, and the real net migration figures behind the headlines.



Net migration loss from NZ: over 30,000 in 2024 to Australia alone

Long-term departures hit 101,932 in 2023 — remarkable for a nation of 5.3 million

NZ GDP per capita: USD 49,000 vs. Australia's USD 69,000

New Zealand has been in negative GDP growth since December 2024, but is forecasting ~4% growth in the next financial year

Australia has maintained consistent positive GDP growth post-COVID (0.8%–2.5% p.a.)

The two countries are described as being at opposite ends of the economic cycle

Brief discussion on Jacinda Ardern's post-Harvard career options and what Julia Gillard's post-PM trajectory looks like by comparison



🗳️ The Leaked Liberal Party Review

[00:07:44]



The suppressed post-mortem of the coalition's catastrophic 2025 federal election loss has been leaked — ultimately tabled in Parliament by PM Albanese himself, making it public. Jack the Insider has read the first version of the 64-page document.



The review was always going to leak; opposition leader Angus Taylor's attempt to suppress it backfired spectacularly

Key findings: breakdown in relationship between Peter Dutton's office and the federal campaign director; policy made without clear authorship

Jane Hume named for two damaging gaffes — claiming Chinese spies were handing out how-to-votes for Labor, and overstating the case against work-from-home (she later apologised to The Australian's industrial relations reporter Ewan Hannan)

The work-from-home policy has no identifiable author

Dutton still insisting he was ahead in polls in February

Discussion of Labor's own 2019 review and the broader lesson for parties about not releasing policy too early

🏢 Star Casino Federal Court Ruling

[00:19:05]



A breaking story: the Federal Court has handed down adverse findings against two former Star Entertainment executives in a landmark corporate governance case.



Former CEO Matt Bekier and former Chief Legal Officer Paula Martin found to have breached Section 180 of the Corporations Act (duties of care and diligence) between 2017–2019

Justice Michael Lee (described as "the busiest judge in the country") cleared seven other board members including former ARU chair John O'Neill

Sanctions yet to be handed down; ASIC likely to weigh in

The broader discussion covers the structural problem with casino business models: regulatory compliance around money laundering may be fundamentally incompatible with profitability

Crown Melbourne's tribulations and multiple royal commissions also referenced, including a colourful anecdote about a criminal money-laundering operation that went badly wrong

🏠 Victoria's Work-From-Home Legislation

[00:24:46]



The Allan government is moving to enshrine the right to work from home in Victorian legislation.



Jack the Insider sees echoes of the dying days of the Cain-Kirner government — a p

The Two Jacks - Episode 147 - Khamenei Down, Carney in Town & the AFL Kicks Off

Welcome to The Conditional Release Program, a podcast that delves into the netherworld of cults, crims and con artists.

Who would have thought a spicy chest cough would turn everyone so completely mad?

Our weekly show covers the conspiracy theorists that created a 'shadow pandemic' of political idiocy and violent ideation within the fringe of politics.

From time to time we get our hands even dirtier with true crime deep dives. Jack is a seasoned expert in the true crime genre, having written and spoken extensively about Roger Rogerson, Stan 'the man' Smith and, of course, the Fine Cotton Fiasco. In various episodes he guides us through the dark underbelly of Australian crime in his trademark storytelling style.

The world is getting weird and we are getting weird with it. Let's watch as democracy crumbles into a smouldering heap - and take note of the kids carrying the matches and the metho.

Hosted by Jack the Insider and Joel Hill with an occasional rotation of guests that generally share our distaste toward the lunatic fringe.
