    Episode 143: Anticipating The Agenda
    Feb 2 2023

    It's February already, which means it's almost time for parliament to start sitting for the year. What can we expect to be on the agenda?

    As the saying goes, in this world nothing is certain except death and taxes. But what about death taxes? Hear Peter’s thoughts on that topic.

    And what is it about the current state of Medicare that has Hugh all a-fluster?

    This week Hugh and Peter discuss Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s visit to Alice Springs and whether the immediate actions he imposed will be effective in what is a very complex situation.

    They also think about how The Voice is conflated with other issues before surmising the state of politics in New South Wales.

    And what are the pressure points of any potential Medicare reform?

    Episode 141: In With The New
    Jan 19 2023

    It’s a new year, everyone’s refreshed and raring to go, and The Professor and The Hack are no exceptions.

    So, what can we expect this year? Is it true that ‘inflation’s back because Labor’s back’? Can we look forward to a time when interest rates stop rising or are we headed for a recession? And is it the year of the rat, rabbit or Rabbitoh?
