EP1 Assault Jul 02, 2013

This week Joe tackles the issue of violence. Why are Australians bashing each other in record numbers? Why has almost every form of crime decreased except for assault? Is something fundamental changing inside our culture? In our first express journey into Sh*tsville, Joe and co discover a terrifying world of binge drinking, where drunken teenage boys and men roam the inner city at night picking fights. After delving into this confronting issue, our four get on their soapbox to announce some controversial solutions.

EP2 Gambling Jul 09, 2013

It's been with us since convicts crawled off the First Fleet, and it's still headline news - gambling. From the orgies of betting at the Melbourne Cup and on Anzac Day to the pokie lounges at the local club, gambling has become a national pastime and a 20 billion dollar industry. But more than 115,000 people are problem gambling, often losing all they have. Family breakdowns, bankruptcy and suicide are some of the tragic consequences. In our journey through Shitsville, our four budding politicians experience the adrenalin rush of the racetrack, and meet two problem gamblers who lost almost everything trying to recreate the highs of their first wins. And one of our crew relives painful memories of his own childhood as he takes on gambling bosses.

EP3 Coal Seam Gas Jul 16, 2013

Joe and his four budding pollies travel on the Sh*tsville Express to the Darling Downs to investigate the emotional and divisive issue of coal seam gas that pits neighbour against neighbour, friend against friend.
