  • 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.

  • Dumbing down?

    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.

  • Could be better on the climate stories and less of the Murdoch envy stories please

    Climate story tellers on the FIN seem to always come back to wind and solar and firming is too hard - no nuclear despite China building 40+ nuclear plants in the next 10yrs, left-wing idiots wiith a voice quoting sources that aren’t considered expert, and side step the fact that the UN IPCC says human activity accounts for 4% of CO2 emissions - better find a way to cap those CO2 belching volcanoes—- it’s a great read the IPCC reports

  • Could be better of the climate stories had the same balance as othets

    Climate story tellers on the FIN seem to always come back to wind and solar and firming is too hard - no nuclear despite China building 40+ plants in the next 10yrs, left-wing idiots wiith a voice quoting sources that aren’t considered expert and in some cases quote each other - groupthink??
