”The Week on Wednesday” with Van Badham & Ben Davison
News:Politics
Ben Davison looks at the shambles that is the Morrison government as it failed to create a federal ICAC, failed to increase people's super, failed to pass its Trumpian voter ID laws, failed to pass its religious discrimination laws and saw its member's cross the floor to vote for Qanon motions, hold up the senate and possibly mislead Morrison (and Australian's) about their vaccination status.
And that's all before the "retirement" of Christian Porter and Greg, I don't take calls from Pfizer, Hunt. To pile further shambles into the cess pit of the Morrison government Alan Tudge was forced to stand aside following allegations of physical and mental abuse by his former staffer/lover. Having promoted the hypocritical Tudge to education Minister, where he spent his time lecturing educators on Australian Values, Morrison was finally forced to investigate his behaviour following the public revelation of the abuse complaint.
Ben look at how in a desperate attempt to distract Morrison made a university funding announcement, but the devil is in the "must be insecure work" details
All of which stands in stark contrast to the Albo Labor Party which this week announced a new Powering Australia policy which delivers 600,000 new jobs, 84% renewable energy, $275 a year power bill savings, cheaper electric vehicles and a 43% cut in emissions. And today announced 20,000 new university places and 465,000 free TAFE places to skill up Australian's for in demand industries.
Plus Ben looks at the fact SA won't make Christmas day a public holiday, transport workers winning improved job security by standing together in union and previews the reasons for Tuesday's NSW Teachers strike #MoreThanThanks.
