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.
I really respected this podcast until I realised they only want to talk amongst their own community instead of to the people. Last week’s episode talked about the “dumbing down of politics”. Is it “dumbing down” or is it or attempting to make it more accessible for people of different ages and backgrounds? Political literacy is no joke. Cheap shot from the best political minds.
Try contributing to the movement that is trying to make politics accessible for all.
