Tom, Alison and Emerald run their flag takes up the flag pole. This week Tom is joined by co-host Alison Pennington, Senior Economist at the Centre for Future Work. Alison gives her read on the Greens (13:55), before they delve into the economy (22:35) - inflation, recession, wages, interest rates, and just how screwed are we? Finally, a call to action (1:15:42).
