Episode 89: PM Albo and the gang of four, Liberal Leader Dutton, Murdoch media fails and democracy sausages

Van Badham and Ben Davison examine the first few days of the
Albanese Labor government as Albo and his gang of four are sworn
in to start the transition after a decade of Liberal-National
rule and so Albo can attend the regional security pact meeting
known as "The Quad".


Van and Ben look at Labor's policy priorities between now and the
end of the year, the make up of the parliament, the failure of
the Liberal Party to hold any of the inner city Liberal "seat by
rights" and what we will be looking for in the coming week as a
full Ministry is sworn in next Wednesday.


The Liberal Party have wasted no time and are already back to
ignoring the will of the people by giving Peter Dutton a
coronation as new Liberal Leader.  Van and Ben discuss the
how, why and what of the "not a monster", potato, pacific island
disrespecting, searching Victorians on the street, not "very
smart", "Extremist" who once handed out defence contracts to
companies that didn't have any staff and is now the leader of the
party founded by Menzies.


For the first time the Murdoch's backed a loser and we look at
what the changing shape of media means in Australia.


Plus good news about democracy sausages and solar panels!
