A democratic lockdown fit for an authoritarian & marking Defence's Annual Report homework Part 1
Episode 54
Tuesday, 2 December, 2025
The Grumpies broadcast from Australia's Parliament House while admiring the Government's lockdown of our democracy's capitol to make a visiting Chinese Communist Party member feel right at home. They start going over the Defence department's homework in its latest Annual report and find some blank spaces where answers should be. The episode ends with victory for Beijing in turning the South China Sea from an international maritime highway into contested space, & a chat about the controversy around a successful Australian company.
