On today’s ep we pull apart the corruption, lies, the removal and defunding of crucial bodies that hold governments to account, the stacking of boards with fossil fuel executives and the dead crook behaviour that has defined the current Government.
Mike Seccombe is the national correspondent for The Saturday Paper and has covered this descent into what some political commentators have described as the worst era in Australian politics. It all explains why 81% of Australians want a federal anti-corruption body (or ICAC).
And, I guess, why some candidates and parties are pushing for one ...and some are not. If you’re baffled by it all, join us as we thrash the whole sorry issue out…as well as the best solutions for voters.
