This week James and Pete talk the under-reported stories of Australia’s falling global competitiveness and Trump being the least regulatory President since Reagan, and the way over-reported story of Macklemore playing at the NRL Grand Final. We talk to IPA Research Fellow Andrew Bushnell about his new report on the rising rates of Indigenous incarceration and what can be done to prevent it (8:52-22:47), we play our appearance on The John Batchelor Show with Mary Kissel out of New York talking about Australia’s economic woes (22:58-31:32) and we talk to IPA Director of the Western Civilisation Program Dr Bella d’Abrera (31:40-38:12). We also give the Q&A clap to The Conversation’s new podcast, why kayaking in Canada just became awesome, The Age’s latest grab for clicks and the latest policy position of the “Liberal” National Party of Queensland.
