The King came to visit recently so I decided to make a series of videos on the difference between a constitutional monarchy and a republic. Here's the introduction.

I tested ChatGPT's knowledge of Australian politics. Watch and see how well it did.

January 1st, 1901, the Commonwealth of Australia was created - but who was going to be the first Prime Minister? The choice seemed obvious to everyone except the person actually making it. This is the story of the Hopetoun Blunder, a political controversy where the first Governor-General of Australia wasn't sure what he was doing and caused the nation a load of confusion and one unlucky politician the impossible task of forming a caretaker government with only two weeks before the deadline of federation.

Let’s learn about referendums!

New episode! I got to sit down with the Leader of the Opposition of South Australia and ask him all about how the Opposition works, what their role is, and how it holds the Government to account. Enjoy!

Here’s my first interview of 2023! Starting strong by asking the YOUNGEST member of Australia’s parliament about how young people can get more involved in politics.

I’ve been married for nearly 3 years now - and I really hope this year I’ll manage to actually have my honeymoon.

Hey gang. If I don't have anyone on Pokemon Go, I would appreciate some gifts (and of course the XP that comes with it)

HEY AUSTRALIA!

There's a lot of things said during election campaigns - but I'm not going to engage in subjective debate. I'm going to give you facts, stats, and help you understand the economy a little bit better before you go to the polls. This is neither an endorsement/disendorsement of either party and you can vote for a different party if you so wish. It's just good to understand things like taxes, spending, debt, and wages, a bit better before you make assumptions about economic management. So I've done research for you. Enjoy!

A coworker googled me and found a news article written about me like... 8 years ago. I had forgotten such a thing existed. It’s weird that 1) I was found at all because of such a generic name and 2) that if I am findable, that she only found that. I’m everywhere. I’m in a lot of corners of the internet and have been making things online for nearly 15 years.

Ah well. It wasn’t too embarrassing.

Why run as an independent? And how do independent candidates fund their campaigns? In this interview I ask Independent Candidate Georgia Steele all about campaigning - from the very basics of registering as a candidate to finances, the importance of volunteers, forward planning, and how someone gets their name known in the community without the support of a political party's recognition and funds. To learn more about if an independent candidate is running in your area search up "independent candidate for (your electorate/state/territory)" near an election and see what information there is.

I had a job interview for my dream job and I cannot stop thinking about it and how much I want it. I will find out in a few weeks. Until then: I must avoid thinking about it constantly.

Ever wondered just what the laws are about freedom of speech in Australia? Because we don’t have the first amendment, or a bill of rights. Our constitution has little to do with rights. So I made a video explaining it!

I got tired of dickheads telling me I’m an idiot for thinking local government is real so I made this sarcastic video to link to them in the comments instead of replying the same old information over and over. Enjoy!
