Go left Labor and eat the rich
In this episode, we explore the implications of the Country Liberal Party's recent victory in the Northern Territory and whether there are lessons for the federal government to heed. We also discuss Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's declining popularity in the polls – could it be due to his government’s shift to the right rather than the left? Plus, we question whether the opinions of Gina Rinehart and other super-wealthy individuals should really hold as much weight in public discourse. #auspol
