Episode 160: Stopping male violence, the education budget we have to have and big batteries

"The Week on Wednesday" with Van Badham & Ben Davison

Van Badham and Ben Davison have rescheduled Wednesday to a Monday this week, to delve into the labyrinth of policy complexities surrounding the fight to end violence against women and children, highlighting the frustrations and challenges faced and dissecting the terrifying implications of a private school’s latest misconduct scandal.

As the Albanese government makes a string of announcements wiping student debt, funding practical placements and increasing fee free TAFE, we discuss why funding public schools to the minimum resource standard is imperative for Australia's future.

We also find hope in a heartening good news story about renewable batteries revitalizing old coal country.
