Episode 112: Workers asking Pocock which side are you on? Victoria heads to the polls, Musk burns billions for Twitter lols and good news on the NSW Super Battery

Van Badham and Ben Davison RETURN to the podcast following the
sad passing of Van's mum, Barb.  With the Secure Work,
Better Pay laws before the senate and Barb being a lifelong
unionist Van and Ben pay tribute to her life by examining why
David Pocock needs to pass the whole package of laws to get wages
moving.  And just what the laws really mean for jobs, wages,
climate action and social change.

The Victorian election is on THIS SATURDAY.  Van and Ben
look at the campaign that has been punctuated by scandals,
cookers and a Liberal Party so far removed from the Menzian ideal
that top of the ticket candidates are being told they can't sit
in the party room while marginal seat candidates are telling
people they "don't believe in kinder".  Van and Ben will be
doing a LIVE election night broadcast, join the watch party here

Elon Musk has taken over Twitter, saddled it with debt, broken it
and invited some of the worlds worst people to slop about on
it.  Van and Ben look at the economic, social, political and
potential legal ramifications, as well as the history of
billionaire takovers of social media platforms.


There is good news about the largest renewable energy storage
battery being built in NSW
