”The Week on Wednesday” with Van Badham & Ben Davison
News:Politics
Gladys Berejiklian's end of week appearance at ICAC have raised some serious questions about how politicians conduct themselves, the meaning of terms like "family" and "love circle" and helped explain why Morrison and his government are so opposed to a federal ICAC. It would expose not only what they are doing wrong but also the things that they could reasonable suspect are wrong and do nothing to stop.
Tim Smith got drunk at a dinner party and drove his car into another vehicle and through a fence. He's resigned from shadow cabinet and lost his licence. But will we have to pay his taxi bills?
Morrison is going to promote more Australian Gas in Glasgow despite work from Australian Unions, the Business Council of Australia, The Australian Conservation Foundation, the World Wildlife Fund and Accenture showing that clean energy could create 395,000 new jobs.
Angus Taylor, who is joining Morrison's gas sales trip, has gone on Insiders to say that governments don't plan more than four years out and the $20Billion commitment, half what was wasted on profitable companies with misallocated Jobkeeper, is as far into the future as they can plan. Despite the multi decade nuclear submarine deal and other countries adopting long term bi-partisan approaches.
