David Boyle on Australia's New Government: Optimism or Delusion?

I cannot even comprehend how people have come to that conclusion... Do people not remember, like recent history- and by recent history I mean every single government that's been formed since my birth- has done exactly the same thing.
What happens when a comedian takes on the serious topic of politics? You get a mix of sharp wit and raw honesty. In this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', David Boyle shares his candid thoughts on Australia's new government. Boyle's skepticism is palpable as he questions the widespread optimism surrounding the new regime. He points out that every government since his birth has followed the same old script, leaving him doubtful about any real change this time around.
But it's not just political cynicism; Boyle dives into the precarious state of the Australian economy, predicting a catastrophic failure unless drastic reforms are made. He even throws in some unconventional solutions like returning to the gold standard or embracing Bitcoin, though he admits the former is unlikely. This episode is more than just a political rant; it's a thought-provoking look at the intersection of governance and economic survival.
Whether you're a political junkie or just someone curious about Australia's future, Boyle's take is sure to make you think—and laugh.
