Weekend Wrap 2 October 2022: NACC will either be reform or knackered, Truss shows tax cut follies, COVID isolation to end but whats next?

Ben Davison gives his view on Mark Dreyfus big week appointing
the first female majority High Court in Australian history,
introducing the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) to
parliament and appearing on Insiders to explain why he thinks
they've got the balance right on public hearings.


Ben discusses the ups and downs of public hearings and how the
union movement first passed a policy on a national
anti-corruption Commission in 2015!  You can join your union

The RBA is likely to raise rates this week and Ben looks at how
the unfunded tax rebates to the wealthy in the UK have caused an
economic meltdown and what signal that sends Australia on the
stage three tax cuts due in three budgets time.


The big news about COVID was national cabinet's decision to
remove the five day isolation orders from mid-October.  Ben
looks at the Insiders analysis of the decision as well as the BIG
spike in UK hospital admissions and wonders what might happen
next.
