"The Week on Wednesday" with Van Badham & Ben Davison

Episode 29: The March for Justice, IR Omnibus Bill, Vaccine rollout & good news about polystyrene


Listen Later

Van Badham and Ben Davison examine the Morrison government response to the March for Justice rallies around Australia, the woeful performance of Morrison ministers as well as the continued attacks on women's financial capacity by eroding their superannuation, workplace security and wages.
The IR Omnibus Bill is before the senate, despite Christian Porter's absence, and Jacqui Lambie and Rex Patrick have publicly proposed substantial amendments while Pauline Hanson has put forward secret amendments to the government.  Sally McManus and the unions are calling on people to contact their senators and oppose the bills.  Van and Ben discuss how this bill further undermines women in the workplace.
The vaccine rollout is millions of doses behind schedule.  Van and Ben look at why and what Morrison has, or hasn't done, to keep Australian's safe.
Plus good news about polystyrene and some justice for George Floyd's family.
Van's back and Germanicus is so delighted he is literally jumping over the desk!
