The best podcast.
No matter how tough the facts are, you get them across in a way that is easy to understand.
I look forward to every episode. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Excellent podcast. The Australia Institute provides data and analysis that should be used by mainstream media for its political, economic and social policy analysis. It seems solid answers to tax reform, the housing crisis, and other issues are not difficult if only governments would broaden their information input.
Podcast has some interesting topics but this is very left wing biased media unfortunately
Maybe grab yourself a dictionary and look up ‘unbiased’
Bring it on Team Australian Institute. Such good quality data and discussion.
Needs to be this years No.1 election issue.
