    Good on Hollie Hughes for giving her resignation from the Liberal Party.

    Politics is corrupt as hell.

    Politicians don’t care about us Australians at all- they only care about their pay package.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard πŸš—πŸ™οΈπŸ“»- Wednesday, 15th July
Q: What is the ideal net migration level heading into the 2030s?
A nuanced balance is needed: higher net migration can boost the budget and delay population aging, but it must be paired with a clear plan to handle infrastructure, housing, and services, with a long-term strategy rather than a single numeric target.
'90% of calls unanswered' - Experts demand superannuation reform
Q: You're drawing attention to those issues today, but can they be fixed, or is the industry just so big, there's no real control in terms of customer service to make changes?
There are a couple of ways this will be fixed: shining a light on the issue helps people consider switching to better options, and there should be mandatory standards around basic service expectations, including timeframes and staff training, to improve the level of service.
