    Welcome to the first edition from the “Cory Media Podcasts” feed. I appreciate you subscribing/following and most importantly, listening to the show.
    On this episode I look in on two stories to come from the Royal Commission here in Australia that’s investigating the scheme of the former federal government that essentially sent out debt notices to many Australian’s on welfare who also work.
    Story one is about the horrific treatment of carer, Sandra Bevan from Queensland, the other is of former Prime Minister Scott Morrison who was social services Minister at the time of the creation of what’s become known as the Robodebt scheme.
    Robodebt makes me sad and mad. You may feel the same. Let me know if you’ve experienced similar targeting during the lifetime of the Centrelink scheme.

  • CT1003 - Victoria Decides - Part 3

    Today: Saturday 26 November 2022

    CT1003

    The Cory Talks Podcast covers yet another election, this time in my home state of Victoria.

    In this episode, all that’s lead up to this moment, the victory speech, the concession speech and we begin with a look at the two men who ultimately want that job of Premier of Victoria, Daniel Andrews (current Premier) and Liberal Party Victoria member and current opposition leader, Matthew Guy.

    I sourced this information from Wikipedia…

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Guy

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Andrews

    Election campaigns (I’ve noticed) have become more problematic… https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-11-23/vec-limits-campaigners-at-sydenham-early-voting-booth-election/101689000

    The Victorian Liberal Party have been running of the “Labor’s Debt Disaster” theme this election, but is it true? https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-11-24/fact-check-liberal-party-debt-larger-queensland-nsw-tas-combined/101689036

    It was predicted in the first hours of the vote count that it would be a lengthy process based on the number of pre-polling and postal votes, but it wasn’t too long before it became apparent that Daniel Andrews and the Victorian Labor Party would be returned for a third term.

    Hear from voters on election day with their thoughts, plus the concession speech from Matthew Guy and victory speech from Premier Daniel Andrews.

  • CT1002 - Victorian Election Countdown - Part 2

    Just dropping in to say hi and remind listeners that the Victorian State Election is less than seven days away. One last check-in before Victorian's go to the polls on Saturday 26th November, 2022. I wanted to have a few words about another News Corporation hatchet job attempt on the Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews, and warning this episode gets a little sweary!

  • CT0922 Special - Jan 6 Committee Hearing

    Today: Thursday 13 October 2022

    CT0922

    Thursday local time (early Friday morning Australian time), what is possibly the final public hearing of the January 6 Committee that’s been investigating the riot at the Capitol Building in Washington DC more than 18 months ago.

    I’ll preview what’s expected in this hearing with the help of a news story from Voice of America. https://www.voanews.com/a/here-s-what-to-expect-from-final-january-6-panel-hearing/6787114.html

    I’ll be watching, not at 3am though. Instead a more respectable time during Friday.

    I know global politics doesn’t interest all that many. But we live in a global community and actions in other countries can certainly have an impact here in Australia.

    To be able to watch the January 6 Committee hearing on YouTube, use this link: https://youtu.be/IQvuBoLBuC0

  • CT0921 Special: Stage 3 Tax Cuts

    Today: Monday 10 October 2022

    CT0921

    After much back and forth, the Albanese government will stick to the stage 3 tax cuts that were announced by the previous government despite worsening economic conditions globally.

    However the government says it reserves the right to pare back the tax cuts if needed prior to their official start date more than 12 months away.
