The Chaser Report

The Chaser Report

Are you sick of news you can trust? For over 200 years, The Chaser has been the world's leading source of news you can't trust. The Chaser Report offers a satirical look at Australian and world news and culture, along with occasional confessions of parenting and business failures, the latter often involving an amusingly large number of unsold avocado pool toys. The show is hosted each day by two of the satirical comedy group’s co-founders, Charles Firth and Dom Knight, along with occasional cameos from more talented, less available Chaser colleagues.

In yet another outlandish and implausible claim, Charles claims scientists have figured out how to use Bluetooth beyond the Earth’s atmosphere. Having used Bluetooth within the Earth’s atmosphere, Dom is sceptical. But if it works, what else could we use Space Bluetooth (tm) for?

The Chaser has been pretty critical of Qantas since the earliest days of our newspaper – and recently we sold lots of highly satirical QANTARSE merchandise. The recent settlement Qantas has made with the ACCC in response to its recent practice of selling tickets on flights it had already cancelled is certainly worthy of considerable scepticism from Australia's premier corporate critics, Charles and Dom.


Alternatively, we'd be ve...

Today Charles and Dom explore a modern love story for the ages – very different ages, namely those of 81-year-old billionaire investor Robert Whyte and 38 year old fashion marketer Alessandra Eddy. As well as eternal bliss, could they have unlocked the secret to solving the housing affordability crisis?

Charles is sick... sick of being right all the time that is! After looking back at how cool it was to correctly predict the outcome of the OceanGate Titanic Submersible, we realised that our bragging rights allow us at least one more day of smugness.

Here at The Chaser Report we don't like to gloat about when we were right, mostly because it happens so much. However today Charles felt like remembering that time he predicted literally every aspect of the Titanic OceanGate submersible disaster, days before the rest of the world had a clue what was going on. Well done Charles.
