This week James and Pete recap the budget and the ABC cuts that weren’t, the near death of press freedom in Britain and the return of the citizenship scandal in federal politics. We talk to Senator James Paterson about the budget, the libertarian moment happening in the US and the secret to a politician’s high-vis vest & hard hat photoshoot (15:55-29:35). We also talk to IPA Research Fellow Daniel Wild about his experiences in the budget lockup and in the United States (29:44-43:29).
