Episode 98: The challenges facing Albo’s parliament, half of Australia has COVID, Morrison AWOL, Bison are BACK!

Van Badham and Ben Davison take a look at why Anthony Albanese's
government faces some significant challenges as the new
parliament sits for the first time.


Van and Ben discuss the emotional opening of parliament and why
Labor's time in government, particularly under the current
circumstances, is so important.


With neo-liberal economic ideologues dominating the institutions
of our economy the Labor government's drive for more secure work,
better wages, paid family and domestic violence leave, the
establishment of Skills Australia and a 43% reduction in carbon
emissions by 2030 and net zero by 2050 will rely on the Skills
and Jobs summit to rebalance power towards working people.


Union member's continue to get better wages, win better
conditions and have more secure employment so join at

COVID has now infected almost half of all Australian's as more
people than ever are in hospital.  Van and Ben talk about
the personal impact and why we should all be following the advice
of the nurse's union.


Morrison hasn't rocked up to work but continues to conduct his
speaking tour.  Van reports live from the seat of Cook,
where no one has seen their MP except on TV....


The good news is that the European Bison is BACK in the UK!
