”The Week on Wednesday” with Van Badham & Ben Davison
News:Politics
Van Badham and Ben Davison dive into the Liberal lies, cover ups and side hustles that have come to typify the Morrison government.
With Morrison himself called a liar, not just by President Macron but also, by Former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull the credibility of Morrison's leadership is being called into question. If other leaders can't trust Morrison what does that mean for our national security? If we can't trust him here at home what does that mean for our economy, jobs, health and education systems?
Dom Perrottet is holding a review of grant decisions following Glady's ICAC hearing testimony. In a piece of pure political theatre the man who was treasurer and a member of the expenditure committee is pretending to not have been in government when his government was "throwing" money to win seats.
Did you know that Liberal Senator Hollie Hughes is also a consultant? It has been revealed that the Senator for NSW has a side hustle as a consultant for a bio-fuels company that she has pay into a trust where she is the only shareholder and only beneficiary. She's taken something meant to make our democracy stronger and perverted it to add to her $249,000 salary.
No wonder the Morrison government won't regulate the gig economy!
The Cop26 Climate Conference has started in Glasgow and Morrison has wasted no time in rejecting the Global Methane Pledge and giving pride of place to massive gas exporter Santos. In a move described as "a joke" by Malcolm Turnbull Santos' "Blue Hydrogen" process, where you burn and "carbon capture" gas to make renewable hydrogen instead of using solar, wind or hydro to make renewable hydrogen, has been promoted by the Australian stall and Morrison minister Angus Taylor.
On the plus side we have signed up to end deforestation and will participate in the protection of large parts of the worlds rainforests.
The heart-warming news that every Australian awoke to this morning was the rescue of four year old Cleo Smith. WA Police found the little girl alone in a locked house, her first words to them were "My name is Cleo".
The impact of the rescue, coming 18 days after her disappearance, is serving as a beacon of hope for many people after a trying period for the nation.
