Weekend Wrap 14 May 2023: Insiders lacks insight, we know who Dutton is and Greens blocking homes

Ben Davison takes apart Insiders for the lack of insight, the
lack of economic understanding and the soft rehabilitation job on
Peter Dutton.


The budget this week was a step change towards Keynesian economic
frameworks that support employment, wages growth and a social
wage that keeps inflation under control and provides opportunity
for people.


The Insiders analysis and questions of Jim Chalmers showed a lack
of understanding, an entrenchment in outdated Morrison-era
politics and a commitment to supporting Dutton that was shocking
to witness.


Dutton actively opposes wage increases and more job security,
even for our lowest paid, for women and for jobseekers.
Australian Unions have been campaigning for improvements in wages
and working conditions for all, particularly women, and you can

As the Liberals implode in Victoria and Tasmania Ben looks at the
very different reasons why both they and the Greens are opposing
more homes for working people.


The question is asked will they push it to a double dissolution
or will we get to see another budget with more investment in
education and the next stages of Labor's Keynesian economic
model?


Happy Mothers day!
