Episode 126: Checking The Balances
As we digest the impact of yet another interest rate rise, Hugh and PVO don’t even consider the fact that right now avocados are the cheapest they’ve ever been. Instead they look at the hot topics of the day, including the different forms cost of living relief could take, and the potential fallout of Peter Dutton going nuclear.
And how well do you know your state premiers?

Two days to the election and the polls are indicating a close race.

Customer Reviews
Love it
I really enjoy this podcast, my only complaint is there isn't enough, it should be weekly
Weekly pls!
I really like this podcast. Really interesting views. I wish it would be posted weekly! Sometimes I need my craving filled. Both PVO and Hugh have really good insight into the issues. Although, I find that PVO has much more insight into economic and political issues than social issues.
Pushing agendas
One would think a doctor of politics may put forward an apolitical commentary. Rather to the contrary, he is still pushing a political spin that has burned since his dismal prediction of the 2019 election. This is “help labor at all costs to save face” type dribble
