  • Misinformation by Tony Barrie on 5 April

    Tony Barrie claimed that among the 7,000 public servants in the Department of Health there is not a single Dr or a nurse. So wrong. Remember the pandemic 5years ago?

There are medical advisors in every Division of the Department. The place is peppered with health professionals of all kinds. The TGA wo... more

  • Unbiased?

    I’ve just tuned in to this podcast and it’s great to listen to Barrie Cassidy but Tony Barry’s obvious love of the liberal party puts me off.

  • Back to back Barries is my new favourite listen

    If you’re a politics nut (and I am), I can’t recommend the new podcast back-to-back Barries more. Not only is it fantastic to hear the return of Barrie Cassidy’s analysis, but to hear the pollster perspectives of Tony Barry on the week in politics. I never review - so trust me when I say this is a show to listen out for.
