PODCAST: Punter's Politics takes on the WA petrostate
Konrad Benjamin is helping Australians understand who to get angry at.
Konrad Benjamin of Punter’s Politics has built a huge audience online by explaining how rigged our political system is — and he’s ramping up ahead of the federal election.
This week, Konrad visited the fossil fuel heartland of Western Australia, where he’s installed a billboard right next to the Woodside building to highlight how little tax the oil and gas industry pay.
He stopped by The Last Place on Earth to discuss:
- How oil and gas dominate in WA — and what that means for the rest of the country
- The privatisation of everything, even our polling booths
- Friendlyjordies’ argument that there’s nothing we can do to stop the mining industry
- The challenges and opportunities of creating political content online
