Season 3 Episode 1

Parole really is the greatest pleasure in life. Thanks to a good behaviour bond, Welcome to Spud City is back on the airwaves 7 years, 6 months and 22 days earlier than expected, and don't worry, the third season promises to deliver.

The boys scrub the rust off and deliver the news that you may have missed during the week, whilst also dissecting the big political storm Ms Gillard finds herself in. We know it's been about 6 months since anyone has publicly thrown support behind Rudd, but we are stubborn and will continue to do so even if it is the end of us.

Two things disturb us greatly. Firstly, Hulk Hogan has sex. Secondly, Hulk Hogan can use a camera. Thirdly, Hulk Hogan can have sex and use a camera at the same time (fourthly, we can't count). The internet has lost yet another slice of innocence on this dark day.

...and speaking of innocence, Mike Tyson is coming to Australia. After the Billy Slater ear biting incident, we can only assume it is to take up a defensive coaching role at the Canterbury Bulldogs. It is also believed that the club is in negotiations with OJ Simpson to provide some insight into the teams running game. Although, noone can really emulate OJ's historic run in the white Bronco in downtown LA.

A man does not have to have fingers to own fingernails.

National Disability Insurance Scheme Rally

Last year, the Productivity Commission recommended an overhaul of the way services are allocated to Australians with disabilities.
 
This new scheme is called the National Disability Scheme, or NDIS, and this week disability support groups rallied across Australia in support of the scheme.
 
Panorama was at Federation Square, Melbourne.

Church and State

Julia Gillard doesn't believe in God. Unlike Howard, Rudd and Abbott, she's distanced herself from religion altogether.

Do you care whether or not our PM believes in God? Will it lose her votes on August 21?

Panorama's Nick Toscano talks to a young aetheist, a priest-in-training and Marion Maddox, author of 'God under Howard: The rise of the religious right in Australia'.

Cashing in on Cash for Clunkers.

Would you give up your bomb for $2000? Probably?
 
What about if you HAVE to spend that money on a more environmentally, hybrid car?
 
Below the Line's Josh Fagan looks in Prime Minister Julia Gillard's Cash for Clunkers scheme.
