Episode 139: The RBA demands more unemployment, Greens delay action on housing, the referendum is coming and so is the dirt machine but The Voice is winning!

Van Badham and Ben Davison explore the broken philosophy of The
RBA that denies profiteering is a problem until everyone else has
said it is, continues to believe in a wage-price spiral that
doesn't exist and both simultaneously says people should get more
work but we need less people employed.  


Of course the union movement was among the first to point out the
fallacies of the RBA's ideology and continues to win better pay
and conditions so join at australianunions.org.au/wow


Ben and Van also examine how Japan's monetary policy is
structured and the outcomes that can be achieved when the high
priests of Milton Friedman are no longer in charge.


The Greens have delayed the Housing Affordability Future Fund
until at least October.  Ben and Van look at the arguments,
break down the math and try to get a better understanding whether
it is politicking or ignorance that is driving The Greens to
upend millions of dollars in social housing funding.


The referendum legislation has passed parliament meaning that the
government must call a referendum within six months.  Van
and Ben discuss the campaign so far, the work being done for a
big national YES day on July 2nd and offer solidarity to those
being attacked by the billionaire and corporate owned media for
daring to have a Voice.


The good news is that despite the misinformation and vast
corporate media NO machine the YES vote is ahead.  Ben and
Van look at some polling, some analysis and give their views.
