In The Shed Ep.048 - Part1/2 - Dec.17 2032 - The Shed wraps up 2022 and it's a tangent party!
Christmas day is not over yet, legends and here is the last item at the bottom of Santa’s stocking.
2022 was a mixed bag, and this is a mixed-bag episode, something for everyone. There is no tangent or rabbit hole this episode wouldn't embrace.
Tips for Christmas BBQs, dealing with your boomer relatives, how to be a swear bear on Twitter whilst not being sin-binned, how to take 10 mins to answer a yes/no question. Rich people missing the point; starring Meghan and Harry. What can good Labor Governments do for working people? Why do the right and the wealthy they serve hate progressive politics and influential and effective Labor leaders? We Break down the 2023 Federal referendum on the "Voice". There are Christmas-themed Memes. Old mate Steph calls in, takes the talking stick and goes for a run. Her 5 minutes timed out after about an hour on the phone, and we loved her energy as always. Sully, the In The Shed mascot, is officially welcomed back. The war in Europe... and so much more.
A big shout out to all the legends we have run into in our travels, here in Tassie, on the big island and in the dark corners of the interwebs. For the tips, advice, spreading the word, we salute you ✊
Guess who’s back,
back again,
Sully’s back,
tell a friend,
guess who’s back,
guess who’s back,
guess who’s back,
Episode 046. God couldn't save the Queen and many other stories of human suffering. Enjoy...
The Shed's back!
"Like trying to hold back the tide," resisting the wave of enquiries surrounding a new episode proved futile. With an election on the horizon and a war just over it in Europe, the time had come to dust off the microphones, stock the fridge, apply some WD40 to the shed door and finally welcome 2022
For some background on the war in Ukraine, here are some excellent links. First, Jeremy Corban offers his take from the perspective of class and how working-class solidarity respects no borders. https://youtu.be/Bc07qyLcx2U
And a look at the more extended history of the region with the Empire Files' Abbey Martin and Brian Becker. https://youtu.be/w6HQeunm2f4
Australia Votes in 4 weeks, Vote like a worker; at a minimum, put the Libs last.
https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/ Check out They Vote for You and see how returning candidates voted on issues that affect you, your workplace laws...
Wrapping up 2021 with a whip around the states Steph(Vic.), Andy(Tas.), Rob(WA) and Alex(SA).
Every worker must be engaged and supported in their personal struggle from a position of collective strength. Get around Health, Aging and Disability workers in their struggle for a pay packet that reflects their role in the community, support workers re-educating, get around young workers in the workplace, join your union and be part of a proud historical movement supporting the rights of workers. But importantly understand that when the LNP do something, as workers, their focus will attempt to divide us and hit the structural supports that keep our heads above water in their LNP inequality dystopia.
It's no TED talk
The message for 2022 is clear, it's an election year #ausvotes2022 and the Workers of Australia must engage other workers and Australian workers must vote as workers.
When workers solve problems no one gets left behind. It's an aspiration only limited by the greed of the ownership class.
Bob Hawke once said that "no child should live in poverty" and if left free of influence from the ownership class, Australia may have achieved that goal. Instead via the mouthpieces of wealth in the newsprint media, Hawke was ridiculed. The aspirations of a working Class PM were slammed for being naive whilst those throwing mud were blissfully aware that Australia was growing wealthier by the week, such aspirations should've been a given.
Workers have a choice, Morrison's LNP Australia, promoting as they have since Howard, an Australia that is populated by individuals, OR an Australia of workplaces and community's that engage and support the collective wins of workers and communities rising together, leaving no one behind. .

Can Nuclear Submarines help put out bush fires?
A pandora's box of tangents explodes as Australia goes nuclear and sets about to school the west on "foreign diplomacy for dummies", all, at, the same time.
Barnaby alerts the nation to a global energy crisis caused by renewables, whilst here at home, the cost of wholesale power drops below the cost for coal and gas to generate, coincidence?
Political corruption in NSW generates an outpouring of love and sympathy for the very same corrupt politicians. Australian journalism leads the charge for democracy by playing the role of somewhere between devil's advocate and outright apologist... thank god for Friendly Jordies https://www.youtube.com/user/friendlyjordies but no thanking to the ABC"s Insiders (Shame on you)
...and much more.
