It’s a new year, everyone’s refreshed and raring to go, and The Professor and The Hack are no exceptions.
So, what can we expect this year? Is it true that ‘inflation’s back because Labor’s back’? Can we look forward to a time when interest rates stop rising or are we headed for a recession? And is it the year of the rat, rabbit or Rabbitoh?

Well 2022 is drawing to a close, and there’s no doubt it’s been a pretty busy year in politics.
Will the year end on a high for Anthony Albanese? Where will energy prices be in 2023? What are the key takeaways from the new Australian Election Study? And why will The Professor be donning a shirt next week?

It may have been the last sitting week of parliament for the year, but it’s been a busy one.
Dan Andrews has kept his seat in Victoria, the National Party has announced it will oppose the Voice referendum, and Scott Morrison and his secret ministries are in the spotlight once again as he becomes the first former prime minister to be censured in Australian political history.
And as Anthony Albanese visits Gough’s Sydney home 50 years on, we look at the Whitlam legacy.
