Weekend Wrap 13 August 2023: Littleproud on Insiders exposes how much Coalition policy is driven by lobbyists

Ben Davison, voice croaky from celebrating the Matildas win,
breaks down why the leader of the Nationals, and senior member of
the Coalition, would go on Insiders and advocate for the most
expensive, least safe, unproven energy technologies and for
increasing the cost of medicines.


The answer is the same reason why he, Peter Dutton and the
Coalition oppose The Voice and Unions.


Lobbyists.


From mining and energy to pharmaceuticals, post offices and
private education the Coalition is captured by lobbyists. 
Their policies reflect the interests of lobby groups and
corporate lobbyists.


Democratic groups with democratic mandates, like the Voice and
Unions, threaten to make democracy a participation sport instead
of the pay to play game that the Coalition like to play.


If you want democracy to be more than just casting a ballot on
election day join your union at australianunions.org.au/wow and
get involved in the Yes campaign, the price gouging inquiry or a
local campaign like the one to Save Glenroy post office
