Two Brits in Vienna on all the most important Austrian news of the week or at least all the bits we found interesting enough to talk about.
The Strache Strikes Back
Chris and I are faced with an ugly new experience: being wrong about something. Turns out our predictions of this being a legally contested election due to Strache's residence confusion were... alternatively correct (utterly wrong -ed. )
Chris' First Public Service Announcement
Chris' takes us though what district councils do in Vienna and we provide you with all the info you need to participate in the upcoming Viennese district elections.
Whilst quietly bragging about living in the posh, First District.
"Ampel" precautions for schools?
All you need to know about going back to school in Austria.
Sam let's out his inner teacher and has a good old winge about the state of education today while talking through the Orange settings on the Corona Traffic Light (or "robot" for any South African listeners out there) for schools in Austria.

Two Brits in Vienna on all the most important Austrian news of the week or at least all the bits we found interesting enough to talk about.
Headlines this week:

Continuing our coverage of HC Strache's kerfuffle-laden bid for power in the upcoming Viennese elections, we discuss Team Strache's contingency plan for if (when) the election doesn't go their way.
- Keeping abreast of the uplifting news
We learn all about the public money going to a certain private clinic, the details of which the former regime were hoping to keep very close to their chests.
- Raving mad?
As clubs across the nation remain in fear of their survival, we discuss the Save the Rave demo in Vienna, the Salzburg festival and an obscure British political movement of the late 90s.

Two Brits in Vienna on all the most important Austrian news of the week or at least all the bits we found interesting enough to talk about.
Headlines this week:
- Fraudulent eCard fraud numbers-
Turns out the estimations of eCard fraud may have been over estimated a bissl, with a report showing €189mil less than predicted.
- HC Strache unsure where his house is-
Former FPÖ big man, Vice Chancellor and star of Ibiza videos, Heinz-Christian Strache seems to have forgotten he lives in Klosterneuburg, NÖ. This bars him from running in the upcoming Viennese elections. Will he let that stop him? Probably not.
- A very large minority-
Around half a million adult residents of Vienna will have no right to vote in the upcoming city wide elections. Of this number around 200,000 have no voting rights at all in Austria as they are not EU citizens.
We discuss how democratic a city can be when a third of its population is barred from voting.
- Imperial integration:
This week's integration questions covers the topic of ancient empires. Which one was Austria a part of and why should we care?
