Weekend Wrap 1 October 2023:the No misinformation campaign, disability royal commission report, Pezzullo and public service

Ben Davison looks at the established research which shows the NO
campaign is leveraging misinformation and a global network of
disinformation campaigners.  In a shock admission Ben admits
that he agrees with Phil Coorey and Chris Kenny that the No
campaign has become a grab bag of grievances.


The disability royal commission report has been handed down with
222 recommendations from over 10,000 submissions.  Ben looks
at how it intersects with the current NDIS review and why reform
will take time but is urgently needed.


Mike Pezzullo has stood aside while there is an investigation
into his conduct by the public service commissioner.  Ben
discusses why there needs to be an investigation, who this man is
and what influence he has been wielding over our lives.


Ben also give a shout out to the leader of the Australian Union
movement, Sally McManus, for her being named the 4th most
powerful person in Australia.  You can join your union at
