Weekend Wrap 5th December 2021: Morrison ends 2021 in a shambles, Albo launches Powering Australia and skills training while transport workers win and teachers prepare for strike

Ben Davison looks at the shambles that is the Morrison government
as it failed to create a federal ICAC, failed to increase
people's super, failed to pass its Trumpian voter ID laws, failed
to pass its religious discrimination laws and saw its member's
cross the floor to vote for Qanon motions, hold up the senate and
possibly mislead Morrison (and Australian's) about their
vaccination status.


And that's all before the "retirement" of Christian Porter and
Greg, I don't take calls from Pfizer, Hunt.  To pile further
shambles into the cess pit of the Morrison government Alan Tudge
was forced to stand aside following allegations of physical and
mental abuse by his former staffer/lover.  Having promoted
the hypocritical Tudge to education Minister, where he spent his
time lecturing educators on Australian Values, Morrison was
finally forced to investigate his behaviour following the public
revelation of the abuse complaint.


Ben look at how in a desperate attempt to distract Morrison made
a university funding announcement, but the devil is in the "must
be insecure work" details


All of which stands in stark contrast to the Albo Labor Party
which this week announced a new Powering Australia policy which
delivers 600,000 new jobs, 84% renewable energy, $275 a year
power bill savings, cheaper electric vehicles and a 43% cut in
emissions. And today announced 20,000 new university places and
465,000 free TAFE places to skill up Australian's for in demand
industries.


Plus Ben looks at the fact SA won't make Christmas day a public
holiday, transport workers winning improved job security by
standing together in union and previews the reasons for Tuesday's
NSW Teachers strike #MoreThanThanks.
