Weekend Wrap with Van: Pre-Budget Insiders, Morrison’s Hillsong lies, Putin’s War and good environmental news about cows!

Van Badham joins Ben Davison for a very special edition of the
Weekend Wrap to bring you The Week on Wednesday, on a Sunday.


Van and Ben dive into the Morrison government's pre-budget leaks,
analyse Insiders and Jim Chalmer's focus on wages and job
security during his interview.  The budget will benefit from
rising commodity prices but Morrison's renouncement of old
policies, leaking of cash hand outs and continued waste on rorts
doesn't look like addressing the job insecurity, real wage cuts
and increasing living costs that are smashing Australian
households.  Australian Unions are taking action in
workplaces and communities around the country to make work more
secure and lift wages join them at australianunions.org.au/wow


Morrison's record on delivering lines up with his record on lying
as he was caught out in yet another needless lie about his
connection to the Hillsong Church and its now disgraced former
leader Brian Houston.  Van and Ben look at how the 2022
election will be impacted in a very different way by Morrison's
trust deficit from the way it impacted 2019.


Putin's four day war in Ukraine enter's its 30th day with another
dead general, senior staff missing, field commanders turning on
each other, civilians ejecting soldiers from cities and Biden
condemning Putin as a war criminal while the autocrat of Russia
starts to talk about withdrawing to the most eastern parts of
Ukraine.


There is good news for cows, methane emissions and seaweed
farming as Chris Bowen points out Barnaby Joyce's call to shoot
every cow in the head may have been pre-mature.
