Collectivitis Podcast#82 - Dutton Loses the ElectionPietro and Floyd look at the 2025 Australian Federal election as it heats up.

Collectivitis Podcast#79 - Vic Libs in Turmoil as Pesutto Fails AgainPietro and Floyd take a look at recent events here in Victoria, namely the outcome of the Moira Deeming defamation case against John Pesutto. Yesterday it was ruled that Pesutto did indeed defame Moira by implying she was a nazi-sympathiser while she was part of the 'Let Women Speak' Rally in 2023 and the protest was gatecrashed by neo-nazis. There is increased intrigue around this case because Moira had been framed not only as a nazi, but the entire protest was deemed (no pun intended) to be 'anti-trans' and 'transphobic', a severe crime in the eyes of the...

Collectivitis Podcast#78 - 'MAD' Bill Fails in Federal SenatePietro and Floyd look at the recent movements in Australian Parliament—namely the MAD (Misinformation and Disinformation) Bill failing this past week after independent Senators Lambie, Pocock, and Payman all announced they would vote against it. The Libertarian Party was instrumental in mobilising community members contacting the Senators' offices and pleading with them to vote against it.

Collectivitis Podcast#75 - Libertarians Hit Dan Andrews with 'Bike Boy' RecordingPietro and Max catch up on a slew of recent news.

The recording reveals Andrews admitting 'we hit him', after police investigations had squashed the story for years.
