Episode 144: Murdoch and the NO campaign, inflation falls as neo-liberalism fails, the end of forced casualisation and good news about trees

Van Badham and Ben Davison look at how actors, screen writers and
even NRL players are getting organised because they need the
power of standing together to get a fair deal.  Remember to

With the NO campaign in full swing the Murdoch Empire has clearly
identified its target market.  Van and Ben discuss why a
Royal Commission into the influence of the Murdoch Empire is a
good idea, why it is NOT a "news" source and present examples of
it pushing a narrative that undermines truth while backing in
racists.


Inflation continues to fall despite the neo-liberals saying we
would need to see hundreds of thousands of people made unemployed
for it to happen.  Ben and Van discuss how the high priests
of monetary policy twist every outcome to support their ideology
and why it is Labor's macro-economic management and the community
demanding an end to profiteering that is bringing inflation down
WITHOUT scrapping thousands of jobs.


With unemployment at 3.5% and millions of people trapped in
casual employment but working the same hours every week for less
money, the union movement has thrown its support behind the Labor
Government's plan to end forced casualisation.  Ben and Van
discuss what this means, how it will empower workers and dispel
the doomsayers from the Noalition.


The good news is about trees being planted!
