Labor–Greens neoliberal battle and the ABC’s support for Trump
Listen now
Description
The reforms to aged care, seemingly pulled straight from the neoliberal playbook, are based on a user-pay mentality, and it’s no wonder they’re supported by the Liberal Party. So why are they supported by the Labor government? Meanwhile, a significant clash has been reignited over housing policy between the government and the Australian Greens, which has also triggered speculation about a double-dissolution election. And why is Australia’s ABC so intent on promoting Donald Trump in the US election? #auspol Support New Politics: https://www.patreon.com/newpolitics Song listing: ‘The Message’, Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five.‘Confessions Of A Window Cleaner’, Ed Kuepper.‘Sweet About Me’, Gabriella Cilmi.‘Stranger In Moscow’, Tame Impala.‘Praise You’, Fat Boy Slim.
