Great episode and explanation
Great work, AFR. Broad topics and thorough reporting.
Great analysis by Phili Coorey on Labor today. Not corrupt… are you kidding?
Surely AFR can produce 2 episodes per week?! Look forward to my 1 episode each week.
Some episodes are better than others. The Fin needs to be careful it doesn't become a replacement opposition voice while the coalition find their way. It should also try and avoid keeping its readers awake at night worrying about people with more than $3m in their super accts.
