This week, we ask who the heck is Michael McCormack? Micallef does the math on SA electoral boundaries for Mark Butler and delivers the latest in the #libspill speculation - noting a similarity between peloton cycling and the Liberal's seat rotations. Then we meet the world's punkest turtle, take a look at Turnbull's Snowy Hydro 2.0 and the alleged corruption cover-up, catch a Commonwealth recap and a Games-inspired "zinger", then a stab at AI-assisted aged-care and a final remark on corporate tax avoiders to finish.

Then it's Tiangong-1, the ethics of corporate sponsorship, "obvious cheating" and the Commonwealth Bank.

Change the Date: Australia Day, Invasion Day, do we or don't we? The Hottest 100 jumped on-board with a date change, Cory Bernardi released an Australian Conservatives 100 playlist, garnering a few negative responses, and Tony Abbott chimed in with his own Australia Day comments. Barnaby Joyce gets a new portfolio, the dual citizenship scandal continues - taking Jacqui Lambie down with it, and is Kate McCulloch the next Hanson? Peter Dutton sensationalises "African Gangs" in Victoria, and like a scene from The Hollowmen, Turnbull's government pledges $60 million to "future-proofing" the Great Barrier Reef but goes ahead with the Adani mine anyway.

Same sex marriage, Turnbull's spending, Dutton's ban of anti-vaxxer Kent Heckenlively, Scott Morrison's attempt to pass the Medicare levy and Pauline Hanson's burka stunt, Micallef examines it all. Next, Jacqui Lambie is being sued, and we learn the value of the NBN's antique fibre-to-the-node (FTTN) box. There's a class action against Commbank's share price drop in the wake of laundering speculation, a letter inviting energy consumers to visit a website, a North Korean missile test, and gangland window Roberta William sets her sights on Bill Shorten's seat of Maribyrnong.

Hypocrisy and double standards, it's another day in #auspol. The citizenship saga continues, Sam Maiden questions Mathias Cormann's phraseology, same sex marriage (SSM) divides the Liberals, and the NBN is a stuffed, slow-cook turkey. Then it's the Australia/Invasion Day debate, citizenship pressure on Darebin and Yarra councils for supporting #ChangetheDate, David Leyonhjelm's thoughts on colonialist statues in parks and Tony Abbott thinks political correctness is "the last thing we need", among many other things. Lastly, HSC board "furious" after students taught the wrong stream, SSM ads, "zingers" and religious exemptions, and Bob Katter wants the word "gay" back.

A dual citizenship fiasco rocks parliament, Laurie Oakes resigns as Channel Nine's political editor, Barnaby Joyce joins the list of dual-nationals, as well as Fiona Nash, and Malcolm Roberts has always 'thought' he was …Australian. Roberts also weighs in on balanced reporting, popularity and News Corp vs Fairfax. The Murray Darling Basin plan is like trickle-down economics, Hanson wears a burka to parliament, and Cory Bernardi offers some absurdist commentary on the whole debate. Hanson calls on the ACB to release records on it's $200,000 earners, a figure reminiscent of what's been bouncing around her AEC funding.

After that, it's Turnbull's meeting with the energy sector, Australia's geopolitical map, Duterte's human rights stance and a musical demonstration of the current SSM debate.
