Weekend Wrap 21 August 2022 Barnaby admits ignoring Morrison power grab to keep perks, gig economy ruling needs overturning and Morrison’s grants scam

Ben Davison dives into the Morrison Modern Manufacturing
Initiative Scheme that saw $828M handed out, including in five
announcements during the election.


Insiders had former Deputy PM Barnaby Joyce on for a car crash
interview where between calling for modular nuclear power plants
in every town he admitted he didn't confront or make public
Morrison's secret portfolios because he had been given ministries
the Nationals weren't entitled to, staff they weren't entitled to
and was concerned they'd be taken away!


Plus the end of the week saw the devastating application of a
high court decision to prioritise contract terms over reality as
a delivery worker lost his Fair Work Commission case.  Ben
explains why this is terrible outcome for all workers, what it
means now for the gig economy and what we can do to fix it. (It

on Wednesday with Van Badham.
