Episode 100: Jobs summit clash, Trump raided and good news about the Great Barrier Reef

Van Badham and Ben Davison breakdown why Peter Dutton has refused
the invitation to attend the Jobs and Skills Summit at the same
time his junior coalition partner and own shadow Treasurer are
demanding an invitation.  While the Liberals seem determined
to call everything a "stunt" Labor's ministers are consulting
with stakeholders from business and the union movement on how to
get the economy going again.


Australian Unions have today put out a paper calling for economic
reforms that would reduce inequality, support wages growth and
enshrine Full Employment as a key economic goal.  To be part
of your union join at australianunions.org.au/wow


Van and Ben discuss how and why the current economic debate is
between a broad base of stakeholders trying for consensus on
reforms and Peter Dutton trying to bash unions.


Trump's Mar-a-Lago palace was raided by the FBI this week and Van
gives a rapid deep dive on why the raid happened, what it might
mean for American democracy and how the neo-fascists who support
Trump have responded.


The good news is about the Great Barrier Reef expanding.
