Weekend Wrap 10 September: Pearson makes YES case on Insiders, Dutton delays billions in wages, unions win for workers

Ben Davison takes a look at Noel Pearson's Insiders interview and
how he managed to cut through the misinformation, fear mongering
and misdirection to remind Australia that the referendum is an
opportunity to accept the hand of friendship by recognising
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders as our first people and
embrace the opportunity of reconciliation by guaranteeing an
advisory body.  Nothing more, nothing less.


The crossbench teamed up with Peter Dutton's Noalition to delay
the closing loopholes laws which will cost workers, just in the
gig economy, as much as $200,000,000.  Ben breaks down what
the laws are about, why they are important to workers and why big
business is fighting so hard to stop them.  Hint: It's got
to do with who gets $9,000,000,000
