THE SHAKE UP: Pocock booted from sports club, Pink Pony controversy + Ireland's basic income for artists
Senator David Pocock's been turfed from the parliamentary social sports club because he called out a gambling lobby group listed as a sponsor. It's sparked debate about how cosy politics has become with the gambling industry. A new gay club in Sydney copped backlash for being very specific about who it's for. So how do queer spaces balance exclusivity with inclusion? Over in Ireland, a trial giving artists a basic income is now being made permanent. Could something like that ever work here? Plus, we get back into Olympic swimmer Ariarne Titmus' surprise retirement — and ask the very important question: should we all quit while we're ahead? Host Angel Parsons is joined by performer, and entertainment manager at a queer venue in Sydney, Etcetera Etcetera and Straight At It sports broadcaster Mitch Dyer.
