Well since Barnaby Joyce became Deputy PM the news has been a regular faux pas festival. I can't help but think he is the distraction from the distractions and policy decisions they want to distract us from. &nbsp;So my response - go see some comedy!&nbsp;
So shorter episode - beginning with a brief parody song spoken word mash up for Barnaby "Thank God you're not a Melbourne Boy" and shout outs to two great pieces of Melbourne satire and comedy -&nbsp;

Deep Distraction - Ep. 4 Sandals and Swinging Ducks

Anthropologist and satirist Jacci Pillar takes you down the alleyways of daily, deep distraction. Mainly reviews and stories of when artists and comedians try and take humour beyond the scrolling and meme's of the internet. Occasionally a rant on the news in a world where it's hard to tell if the news is satire, or satire is the news.
