They had the opportunity to do something for the nearly decade-long period they were the government, rather they became expert at rewarding their own and punishing everybody else. How about they fighting against the enquiry into financial institutions, major rent seekers.
why does the media continue to give the COALititon air time. there is no one inspiring in their ranks.
God, listening to the coalition decreases your intelligence. maybe pull them up on some of their lies and spin instead of letting them waffle on.
I wish more reporting was around the shadow far right industry front groups who were funding and delivering 'talking points' to the No campaign and the links they have to the main no players. also how manning companies and big buisnes, whilst public facing Yes, were secretly funding these right-wing lobost groups. Talk about having your cake and eating it too. They got what they paid for and got away without losing face.
Housing issues in this country are a result of policies implemented by the Howard Coalition and the power of the investor class to ensure beneficial policies stay in place.
You would think from listening to Sussan's derisive spiel about the current government, that she has been out of government for quite some time. Courageous of you to consider having a conversation with her, as I don't think her listening skills have improved since the last election, despite what she claims.
listening to this drivel from Susan ley, the incredulous way she claims that Australia and the no campaign aren't rascist, speaks volumes of her own rascim and how she cannot see rascism because she doesn't see what doesn't affect her and tze privileged possition she holds. disgusting
the liberal party, every time they open their mouths, nothing but lies come out. seriously, how about challenging their rhetoric more instead of letting them waffle on with platitudes and half truths. this goes for interviewing the Labor party as well. mid interviewing Herr.
I flew on a commercial flight out of my home town. Only person on board with a mask. 2 days later, Darwin -Adelaide, full flight, me and one other wearing a mask. Scary stuff!
A great conversation. I for one love the clarity of this government's communication.
Good attempt at trying to make this interview about more than just attacking the opposition.
friednberg is really boring.
The health system is in crisis; I live on a DSP and can not access bulk billing primary health care in the town I live in in geraldton, West Australia. I have repeatedly pleaded my case to the dozen or so doctor surgeries in town because I need to access bulk billing to manage my health conditions, but none of them will bulk bill DSP recipients, or people on other centerlink payments, except age pensioners. On the poverty payments we receive, I can not afford the co payments required, which can be anywhere from $50 upwards. I have given up on treatment, and my health is declining rapidly; my only option is to end up in the emergency department of the hospital. This is where the poor people who can't access primary health care end up in crisis in hospitals for illness that could have been treated before it became chronic. debilitating or life threatening. I wish someone would listen and report on this issue as many thousands of us are suffering under systemic neoliberal cuts, all design
Thanks Murph and your wonderful team! Great to "hear" you back!
Thank you for another intelligent and informative episode.
