This week we discuss a series of alarming recordings that were leaked by a Queensland police officer, and a scandalous recycling story which revealed just how precarious recycling is. We talk about the broader culture of racism in our police institutions, the girlbossification of policing, identity politics and the fundamental links between our recycling industry, consumerism and capitalism. Oh, and we discuss Love Is Blind S3 of course.   Soaliha: @soalihaofficial & Linktree Mitch: @mitchs.miscellanea & Linktree Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/soaliha Email: heresthethingthopodcast@gmail.com PayPal: PayPal.me/soaliha  Facebook Group: Here’s The Thing, Tho With Soaliha Podcast Group    Sources: Police dog bite sparks outrage as 13-year-old WA boy Jayden Abraham suffers severe injuries  Leaked audio reveals Queensland police staff in racist conversations, joking about violence to black people and protesters  Head of Queensland police First Nations unit investigated for alleged racism  For Fuck's Sake: The Boss Of Qld Police's First Nations Unit Is Under Investigation For Racism  Queensland police promoted officer who called colleague a ‘towelhead’ and had history of bullying REDcycle's collapse is more proof that plastic recycling is a broken system - ABC News
