Today on The Aussie Wire News:
1. Topher says thankyou to Daniel Andrews... yes really! If you want to know why you'll have to watch the Editorial at the start of today's episode!
The Today Show interview used in this segment is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDSVOl8WEFQ

2. Simon Michaux blows the lid on the impossibility of 'Net Zero' targets, not to mention the environmental implications of the amount of mining and minerals that would be needed just to get started (and then to replace the batteries ever decade or so!) The numbers are truly extraordinary and not enough people are talking about it, so we brought him on The Aussie Wire News!
Simon's detailed and thoroughly referenced explanation of this issue can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBVmnKuBocc

3. West Australian MP Dr Brian Walker joins us to discuss a coordinated push for Cannabis Decriminalisation in multiple states in Australia. Topher and Brian discuss the harms of cannabis, the harms of criminalisation, and what Brian and other MPs are trying to achieve.
