Episode 85: Morrison bungles the economy, Labor launches economic policy and chaos in the coalition campaign

Van Badham and Ben Davison look at how Morrison has bungled the
economy.  Despite his many promises he is set to increase
taxes for 10 million households, has overseen a 5% spike in
inflation (just two months after promising it wouldn't go above
4.25%) and is delivering a $2,000 real wage CUT.


Van and Ben look at how the inflation spike, wages cuts,
impending interest rate rise and ongoing job insecurity shows
Morrison's economic ideology that "government can't do things" is
built of false assumptions and the proven fallacy of trickle down
economics. 


With United Workers Union (UWU) member's set to take action in
aged care facilities around the country and NSW Teachers
Federation members to walk off the job the team discusses how
workers shape wages through government policy as well as
directly, in union, and how joining your union (at
australianunions.org.au/wow ) is still the best way to get lift
your wages wages, make your job more secure and workplace safer.


Labor seized on the awful economic numbers for the Morrison
government by launching their own economic policy today. 
The three point plan aligns to what Van and Ben have been saying
about public sector jobs, taxing multinational corporations and
stopping the rorts and waste of the past decade.


The Coalition campaign chaos picked up a gear today with the
Liberal Treasurer suggesting they were better economic managers
because they kept the animals at the zoos and aquariums fed,
Canavan being told to "pull his head in", the home affairs
minister making wild and baseless claims about the Solomon
Islands, a Liberal candidate in a safe seat courting cookers and
a Queensland senate candidate basically calling the citizens of
Australia fat and lazy.
