Episode 138 Brittany Higgins targeted as Liberals flood the zone, pay rises for CEOs but not so much for you and good news about waste reduction

Van Badham and Ben Davison look at what's happening in Canberra,
how Brittany Higgins is again being targeted, why the Liberal's
are "flooding the zone" and what it has to do with recent polls
that show Labor is the most trusted party on economic management.
Warning there is some discussion of violence and assault.


Van and Ben discuss the recent data showing CEO's getting 15% pay
rises while their lobby groups make ads, that are definitely
classist and possibly racist, to argue against workers getting
pay rises.


The boss will always give himself a pay rise but your pay rises
come from standing together in union, so join at

If you think that Dutton and the Murdoch media's interest in who
knew what/when/about what did or didn't happen in Linda Reynolds'
office is unrelated to the economic reforms that Labor and the
union movement are trying to achieve then listen closely as Van
and Ben explain the connection.


The good news is that Tanya Plibersek and the state environment
ministers are taking action on plastic waste.
