TIME CODES

0.0 – Hutchy has an apology for being flippant about the Liberal approach to COVID in Sydney. Is admitting error and regret part of the thawing of Hutchy.

3.00 – Glady’s Berejiklian got papped getting a coffee without wearing a mask. The optics weren’t great.

6.30 – QLD premier Anastacia Palaschuk flies out to Tokyo Olympics. Big enough deal to warrant leaving the country?

9.00 – Far right UK commentator Katie Hopkins will be deported for flaunting COVID quarantine rules. Was it buyers remorse for Channel 7?

13.30 – Our live podcast event has been cancelled unfortunately.

16.00 – Mark Stevens finished up as a journalist a couple of weeks ago to enter politics. Some very interesting twitter content since then – retweeting Tom Morris and no sign of Tom Browne amplification.

19.30 – Shout out to 14 year old Max Becker from the Sporting Max podcast who hit Hutchy with some hard hitting questions when he was a guest on the show recently.

33.15 – Discussion of Peter V’Landy’s introducing another marquee horse race in competition to lead up races for the Melbourne Cup Carnival.

38.30 – HDTV – are the costs cutting into the quality? Damo’s streaming preferences. Mr Inbetween – Hutchy’s latest fav show.

42.00 – Nathan Buckley’s recent views on social media.

43.00 –Question of the Week for Drinkwise from Stuart Henham via Facebook

Question for Damo. (as Hutchy is compromised- again) 2 parts 1. Are journalists working for the large media companies scared to voice a negative story relating to the Tokyo Olympics for fear of future rights and coverage (future trips to) implications. 2. What tally of positive COVID cases amongst athletes leading to their inability to compete is acceptable??

The Sounding Board is produced by Jane Nield for SEN.
