This time we’ve actually been creative and made our own meme for the episode, rather than stealing someone else’s. In the notes below we’ve provided links to share this meme around on Facebook and Twitter.

Listen to this episode and subscribe to our podcast on iTunes. You can also listen to this episode on Stitcher, Cyber Ears or download it on MediaFire (31MB). 

This episode covers online activism against the new counter-terror laws in Australia, which take away our freedoms. Some of the online activism discussed includes: Educate the Senate, stopthespies.org, the Greens campaign against the Foreign Fighters Bill, and Scott Ludlam’s #StopDataRetention memes campaign. You can share our #StopDataRetention memes (including the one pictured above) on Facebook and Twitter.

Also covered on the episode is we now live in South Park, updates on the inspiring #BattleForBurswood campaign, Rap News Live!, the excessive powers ASIO already had even without these new laws, Anthony Albanese criticises the first round of terror laws (although unfortunately he did this AFTER they’d already been passed!), lawyer Stephen Keim’s speech on the problematic use of the term “terrorism”, the free e-book Against Authority by John Twelve Hawks, The Mother of Mohammed by Sally Neighbour, and our meme in response to Palmer United Senator Jacqui Lambie calling for a “barqa” ban – you can share this meme around on Facebook and Twitter.

This episode is brought to you by “Mother”. You can hear Theresa on episode 45 discussing her research on the importance of Indigenous self-determination. Thanks a lot to Theresa for becoming a member of our show – you can become a member and sponsor an episode too.

Clips:

Rap News ‘G20 Rap with Tony Abbott – feat. Scott Ludlam [RAP NEWS 29]’, Austin Powers, stopthespies.org video, Scrubs ‘Season 2’, Legally Brown ‘Muslim Shore’s Got Talent’, Subhumans ‘Big Brother’.

You can listen to a short (5 minute) version of this episode, which features our discussion on the website stopthespies.org, here: Stop the Spies. You can subscribe to these short versions of our episodes through Omny.
