Episode 32: Morrison plays vaccine blame game, big business wants to cut minimum wages, NZ opens a travel bubble and good news about birds and blue skies
Van Badham and Ben Davison examine Morrison's attempt to blame the states, the EU, the media, anyone but himself for the failure to meet Covid vaccination targets and what is really going on with the failure to deliver vaccines to the millions of Australian's who should have been vaccinated by now.
The IMF says the economy will grow strongly, if we get our vaccines, and the Morrison government wants to take credit but it also says the economy is going badly so Australia can't afford an increase to the minimum wage. We look at the how when times are good big business argues against wage increases and when times are tough they argue against wage increases. Turns out they like calling people "essential workers" but don't like paying them like they are essential.
Australian's can visit New Zealand from April 19th but "flyer beware" the COVID conditions.
The good news is massive sandcastles for tiny birds and the air in LA is almost breathable again.
And of course Germanicus decides to try and get into the wall of the shed because it has an interesting smell.
