”The Week on Wednesday” with Van Badham & Ben Davison
News:Politics
Ben Davison looks at the Morrison government's latest announcement on Insiders that they will try to police comments on the internet and how it fits into Morrison's strategy of government "stepping back" on economic issues while simultaneously starting culture wars and stepping in to protect corporations.
Ben looks at Morrison's attempts to stop class action lawsuits, like the one that ended robodebt, his attempt to protect aged care companies from prosecution while delaying the implementation of the Aged Care Royal Commission recommendations, Morrison's NDIS Minister calling the scheme welfare that people need to "get off" and Morrison's attempt to make it easier to sack people for who they are and who they love at a time when Australian's are already facing the greatest period of job insecurity in our history.
Ben examines why Morrison is doing all this while running away from the interventionist economic policies of the pandemic that worked. Like raising Jobseeker, creating a job security program (as flawed as their roll out was) and providing free childcare.
A new COVID variant is out in the world and two years into the pandemic Morrison hasn't built any quarantine facilities, is still allowing international flights next week and will be relying on hotel quarantine. Buckle up, vax up and get ready for wild ride!
