Episode 95: Albo visits floods, industrial action in New South Wales, COVID getting worse and good news about maritime parks

Van Badham and Ben Davison break down how the Liberal Party and
their right wing media allies have attacked Albo doing his job
promoting Australia's interests in Europe while they
simultaneously forgot that Dutton is literally on holiday.


Even NSW Liberal state Premier Dominic Perrottet has defended
Albo saying the state and federal government had been working
well on dealing with the current flooding disaster. 


Van and Ben look at what is happening with the floods from a
political perspective and the immediate relief being delivered.


While Dom Perrottet may be doing better with this round of
flooding he continues to fail the workers of NSW.  Today's
rail worker actions come on the back of weeks of industrial
action from health workers, teachers and public transport
workers. 


Van and Ben look at how the Liberal ideological framework of
underinvestment, cuts and punishing workers is driving
disruption, undermining wages & safety and wasting both
public money and people's time.  To stop the actions Dom
Perrottet is threatening unions in NSW with HUGE fines and there
is a public fund people can contribute to via Unions NSW.


COVID never left and it is getting worse.  Van and Ben
discuss their own recent COVID experiences and why they are
supporting the Australian Unions push to keep COVID isolation
supports, more people wearing masks and getting boosters.

The good news this week comes from the United States (believe it
or not) and is about efforts to preserve more maritime parks.
