It's the last poddy of the year. Of the decade!? Holy smokes, can you believe it?We sure can't. And we also can't believe our Prime Minister would abandon his burning ship for a family holiday. But that's just the world we live in, with impeached presidents. No wonder the kids are marching in the streets.Today's full Fast 5 agenda also includes:#1 ScoMo's getting absolutely roasted for jetting off to Hawaii for a family holiday in the midst of our bushfire crisis, but when is the man allowed to have a holiday?#2 On the back of the release of his latest album, 'Fine Line' (full of bops), it seems like everyone's fallen in love with Harry Styles, but what is it that makes the bloke so attractive?#3 Trump is impeached. Yay? Nay? Does that mean he's out of a job? It's complicated, but it doesn't seem to matter as the partisan divide digs deeper, and more people jump on board the POTUS' train. Pls explain?#4 Billie Eilish is Billboard's Woman of the Year, and has provoked some serious backlash for something she said during her speech - but we reckon everyone needs to calm down.#5 'Climate emergency' is the Oxford Dictionary's Word of the Year (we love), so we reflect on the young people who brought a megaphone to the conversation, took to the streets, and still smashed their final exams. What about it, politicians?This week's episode is hosted by Bridget Buckley & Zoe Brown, and was produced by Georgina Noack.

A Bushfire Crisis Is The Perfect Time For A Holiday, ScoMo.

It's almost the end of 2019 and racism is still alive and kicking.

We are HERE for it.#3 Festival-goers are outraged that the Lost Paradise Music Festival announced it will be cancelled due to the threat of bushfires in surrounding regions, but is that fair?#4 We're in absolute disbelief over some of the amendments that ScoMo and his government have made to a Religious Freedom [read: discrimination] Bill, let's try to wrap our head around it all.#5 Matt Agnew posted about a meteor shower and some fans reckon it's a cryptic love letter to Abbie - but we think it's time to let it go.This week's episode is hosted by Gordon D'Mello and Georgina Noack, and was produced by Georgina Noack.
