Jacqui Lambie: Jac the Ripper of a Good Time (part 1)
Hi folks!The Good Ship Shouldn’ta makes her first stop on the North Western Coast of Tasmania, or as they call it in Devonport, The Coast. We are here to meet one of the more enigmatic and entertaining yet ignorantly racist politicians that this country has ever produced: Jacqui Lambie.This will be a three part series, and we spend this week getting to know her family history and her upbringing, as well as the kooky politics that causes the Tasmanian senate to throw up these oddballs from time to time.If you like what you hear and would like to support us monetarily, we would love to have you over on our Patreon, at Patreon.com/shouldntacome.If you have any questions about sourcing and such for this episode, you can reach us at shouldntacome@gmail.com.We are on YouTube, where you can see the slides and images we refer to! www.youtube.com/@shouldntacome.

Dinosaur Hour with Ciaran
Hey Folks!Rawr! That is how a Dinosaur would say "welcome back to Shouldn'ta Come"! This week, Ciaran takes us to paleontological height this podcast couldn't have dreamed of reaching. We look at the relatively few confirmed cases of Dinosaurs Down Under, including an extended look at Gondwanaland. It's a great time if you're into Dinosaurs, especially ones with slightly disappointing names.If you like what you hear and would like to support us monetarily, we would love to have you over on our Patreon, at Patreon.com/shouldntacome.If you have any questions about sourcing and such for this episode, you can reach us at shouldntacome@gmail.com.We are on YouTube, where you can see the slides and images we refer to! www.youtube.com/@shouldntacome.

April News Round Up: The Birdman & Homelessness, Dying Turtles & Writhing Budgets
Hey Folks!It's the end of April, where things are getting wet and wild! (It's raining again). It's been raining bleak times lately, and I appreciate the chance to get them out of my head, have a laugh about them, and hopefully help people stay on top of some of the big and small stories that happened in the last few weeks.We speak about Bikram Lama, Sydney's "Birdman", whose body lay at a train station for days until he was found. We go on into a wider look at homelessness, and how there isn't a serious solution on the table if it doesn't involve stopping people from owning second homes.Going south, and drying up, we look at the ecological catastrophe unfolding at the Gwydir Wetlands, near Moree, in the Murray-Darling Basin. A local property owner gets water shut off for a bunch of turtles, who are either dying or being relocated. Finally, we have a look at where money isn't going to go (The National Disability Insurance Scheme, or NDIS) and where money will be going (the military).If you like what you hear and would like to support us monetarily, we would love to have you over on our Patreon, at Patreon.com/shouldntacome.If you have any questions about sourcing and such for this episode, you can reach us at shouldntacome@gmail.com.We are on YouTube, where you can see the slides and images we refer to! www.youtube.com/@shouldntacome.

Punjaub, Jerusalem and Kentucky: Why are Australian Towns Named That?
Morning folks! We've got a fun one this week, or at least one that's not about the worst of Australian society and war crimes. In Australia, we have plenty of towns named after places in the British Isles, or at least after some Englishman or another. But have you heard of Surat, Queensland or Bagdad, Tasmania? Yes, we also have some places named after other parts of the world, and today we go on a quest to discover what place is named after somewhere the furthest away from it. We have a surprising result, which you'll have to wait until the end to hear!

Australia's Surrogacy Generation, Where We Buy Babies and Rent Uteri
Hey Folks!We are back with an episode that isn't a whimsical adventure, so if you were hoping for more of that, wait for next week I guess? We're talking about Surrogacy! The practice of implanting a fertilised egg into a woman, usually a poor woman, who's going to carry it for you so that you can have a baby. This is, in our opinion, a gross practice.We look at what the laws about surrogacy are around the country and around the world, with the context that Australia's surrogacy laws may be subject to change. Do you think it'd be good if you could pay people for this? Then you're not going to enjoy this episode.We then spend a bit of time bullying some of the heinous people interviewed by our news sources for a series of articles about international surrogacy, and the spurious arguments—harm minimisation, bodily autonomy and queer rights—that are used to justify it to the public.If you like what you hear and would like to support us monetarily, we would love to have you over on our Patreon, at Patreon.com/shouldntacome.If you have any questions about sourcing and such for this episode, you can reach us at shouldntacome@gmail.com.We are on YouTube, where you can see the slides and images we refer to! www.youtube.com/@shouldntacome.

Dot and the Kangaroo: Into the Dot-verse
Clickety-click and welcome back to Shouldn'ta Come! This week Ciaran is feeling a little nostalgic and so we dive into an Australian classic film, Dot and the Kangaroo. Australia's second ever animated feature film is a cherished memory for generations of Aussie kids, but what do you remember about it? And did you know there were eight subsequent Dot films? Come closer, eat this magical root, and come with us into the Dot-verse.

Reserve CRANK of Australia raises DISINTEREST rates
Hey Folks,Among the death, disaster and looming famine, interest rates have gone up. I don't really know what that means, so we try our best to understand what levers are actually being pulled here. We spend a bit of time looking at the people who make up the RBA board and their odd connections to a specific country...obviously, it's Israel.If you like what you hear and would like to support us monetarily, we would love to have you over on our Patreon, at Patreon.com/shouldntacome.If you have any questions about sourcing and such for this episode, you can reach us at shouldntacome@gmail.com.We are on YouTube, where you can see the slides and images we refer to! www.youtube.com/@shouldntacome.
