164: Abolish Poverty (and Insurance)


Listen Later

A school of fish, a murder of crows and a Trumpet of Patriots. First up, Emerald and Tom take a look at the election date predictions (9:34). Then, welfare (14:33) - Greens are pitching a $7.2bn plan to massively expand and boost Youth Allowance and JobSeeker, while NACC now has decided that maybe Robodebt was bad after all. Next, Greens pitch new insurance policy, including abolishing stamp duty and making polluters contribute to increasing premiums (42:01). Does Dutton agree!? Finally, a call to action (1:05:01).
