    Episode 143: Anticipating The Agenda

    It's February already, which means it's almost time for parliament to start sitting for the year. What can we expect to be on the agenda? As the saying goes, in this world nothing is certain except death and taxes. But what about death taxes? Hear Peter’s thoughts on that topic. And what is it about the current state of Medicare that has Hugh all a-fluster? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Episode 142: No Simple Solution

    This week Hugh and Peter discuss Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s visit to Alice Springs and whether the immediate actions he imposed will be effective in what is a very complex situation. They also think about how The Voice is conflated with other issues before surmising the state of politics in New South Wales. And what are the pressure points of any potential Medicare reform?  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Episode 141: In With The New

    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? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Episode 138: Ask No Questions …

    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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Episode 137: Too Tired To (Vote For The) Party?

    Victoria is headed to the polls this weekend, so what does the future look like for Dan Andrews? We’re seeing major party fatigue amongst voters so will Victorians stick with the devil they know? And with wages still way behind inflation and the banks forecasting interest rate rises to the end of this year and beyond, it’s looking like the dragon that needs to be slayed is still evading capture.

    Episode 136: G20/20 Vision

    Hugh’s been in Bali for the G20 summit and dials in direct from his hotel room to fill us in. So much to talk about, including what the future of trade relations between Australia and China is likely to be on the back of Albanese’s meeting with Xi Jinping. Our prime minister has also formed bonds with a number of his international counterparts, including Narendra Modi and Emanuel Macron, but are we on the right path? Closer to home the industrial relations bill gets a bit of a going over. And of course we can’t let this episode go by without discussing Trump’s announcement that he will once again be running for the top job in the US. What's he got to lose? Hosted on Acast.
