Victoria Secrets: Please Explain What’s hiding in Victoria's secret cabinet papers? You’ll have to wait 30 years to find out. When One Nation announces plans to release cabinet documents, panic sets in at Labor HQ. With decades of corruption potentially about to see the light of day, Ben Carroll, Jacinta Allan, and Dan Andrews embark on a desperate mission to shred the documents before it’s too late. But first they'll have to survive Melbourne's potholes, public transport, and the violent streets of the world's most liveable city. Meanwhile, Jess Wilson has a plan, apparently.

The Albo-rithm: Please Explain The Albanese Government wants to control the internet. They'll call it safety. It's censorship.

Big news: Anthony Albanese is not running the Labor Party. The faceless men are. Nobody voted them in, and nobody can vote them out.

Pauline Hanson lives RENT FREE in the heads of the Australian Left — they just can't stop thinking about her. Now a crack team of activists has the solution: a dream-diving machine that goes inside the minds of Australia's politicians and vacuums Pauline out for good. Albo, Jim Chalmers, Chris Bowen — one by one, evicted of their Paulines. But when the eviction squad reaches the bottom of the last dream, it turns out clearing Pauline out was only step one. Someone's got to fill the vacancy…

DON'T BE HASTIE Albo convinces Andrew Hastie that One Nation is behind the abuse in his comments section. Hastie declares war, takes the Liberal leadership, and puts Angus Taylor in a coma — where Robert Menzies is waiting with a few words about the Forgotten People. #AndrewHastie #OneNation #PaulineHanson #DontBeHastie #War #Canberra #SocialMedia #Stepmates #PleaseExplain

The Pelican - Please Explain The government flies in an ageing national treasure to shoot a new tourism ad — one that sells Australia to the world by the boatload. Paul gets his big bag of money. Then he tries to spend it. What follows is a guided tour of where it all went: Snowy Hydro 2.0, the NDIS, a Rugby League team for Papua New Guinea, and a trillion dollars of debt — narrated by a red-headed pelican from Ipswich.

PLEASE EXPLAIN - GET UP This week, Albo seeks the most morally repugnant propagandists in the country to take down Pauline Hanson. As Barnaby Joyce calls them, "The biggest lefty cabal of bitter, twisted, angry people you could ever come against”. #PaulineHanson #OneNation #GetUp #Albo #Albanese #PrimeMinister #Australia #StepMates #BarnabyJoyce #Farrer #DavidFarley

A SUPER PROGRESSIVE MOVIE (2026) TRAILER The Super Progressive Movie trailer is here. According to bureaucrats this trailer is too controversial to be screened in Parliament House, because it may offend someone, which caused a last minute swap to another theatre in Canberra. The movie launches on Australia Day 2026 and can be pre-ordered online asuperprogressivemovie.com
