Episode 126: SPECIAL GUEST Minister Aboriginal Affairs and Attorney General Kyam Maher on the Voice, Dutton sets up AUKUS vs NDIS fight, Perrottet’s voucher program
Van Badham and Ben Davison do their FINAL Week on Wednesday LIVE at Adelaide Fringe with special guest South Australian Aboriginal Affairs Minister and Attorney General Kyam Maher discussing how South Australia became the first part of Australia to create a Voice to parliament and what lessons it provides for the national Voice referendum.
Van and Ben also look at how Peter Dutton has decided to frame the AUKUS deal, which was started when he was Defence Minister, as a choice between funding the NDIS or building submarines. The false choice framework is explored as is the jobs that BOTH programs are providing to workers in Australia and the need to fully fund our society. You can join your union, whether you're a care worker or a ship builder or any kind of worker, at australianunions.org.au/wow
The New South Wales election is less than two weeks away and Van and Ben break down Perrottet's half billion dollar voucher program and contrast it against Minn's $400m commitment to "fully fund" public schools and "end the war on teachers".
Plus there is good news about the death of "Rambo" and Billbies!
Van manages to give shout outs to our www.buymeacoffee.com/weekonwednesday Cadre and Extend the Reach supporters and all the Adelaide Fringe folk who have made these shows possible.
