Current Affairs - December 2009

Freshly Doug NewYears Eve Grump Special

Grumpy Camel
Who are you calling 'cross buttocks'??


I was going to call this weeks show 'The Grumpy Old Poufs' until one of our number objected to being tagged as 'old'.

Then Joy's General Manager Danae Gibson agreed to join in the fun and that would make it 'Grumpy Old Poufs & a Dyke'.


Then Corey Irlam said he'd be in town, and you couldn't all him old (though I suspect he'd like to be - it would increase his gravitas), and anyway he's a paid professional optimist nowadays, too.

Plus young Nick Wurlod came up with a story we have to cover

So 'Grumpy Old Poufs' was out. I suggested 'The Cross Buttocks' instead (I still like that) but got no takers. So . . . .

Join me tomorrow morning between Nine and Noon for the Freshly Doug New Years Eve Grumpy Special.

O nair in Melbourne Joy 94.9fm and online Really Long Link around Austrlai and the world.

We look back at 2009 with Danae Gibson, Nick Wurlod, Rob Mitchell, David ‘Macca’ McCarthy, Michael Bayliss, Ron Thiele, Will Conyers, Corey Irlam and more.

Join in with your Old Year Grumps & New Year Hopes: SMS 0427 JOY 949 [0427 569 949], email onair@joy.org.au or call our new number 1300 JOY 949 [1300 569 949] from anywhere in Oz for the price of a local call.

New Years Eve: Nine to Noon: Joy 94.9. Be There!!

Remember how Leonie Young, CEO of beyondblue, told us on this program that they were turing over a new leaf with regards to their relations with our community? Well it hasn’t quite worked out that way, so far

FRESHLY DOUG THURSDAY DEC 10 2009

Jews and Catholics, Nuns and a Sex Worker, it's a lively show with a moral flavour today!

It’s crunch day for ACT Civil Partnerships – will the Greens accept the changes the Federal government wants, which would make CPs less marriage like (while still not satisfying the Christian Lobby), or will they vote them down, forcing Kevin Rudd to veto them altogether

FRESHLY DOUG THURSDAY DEC 03 2009

Tony Abbott
Ready for waxing . . .


Well, what a week, especially if you’re a Liberal. Or a Speedos fan. I don’t think Tony Abbot quite cuts it as the Speedo poster boy to replace John Thwaites – remember him? – but will he make it as Liberal leader and what will it mean for the GLBTI community? Tim Wilson, Liberal party member, serial right wing opinion columnist and junior Turnbull clone, has met Tony Abbott and will be joining us on the line to give us his opinion
