Os and Scott unpack the political debate over the budget and discuss why the government has taken such a hit over measures designed to make the tax system fairer. They look at the special interest campaigns mobilising against the tax reforms, whether younger Australians should feel rewarded or frustrated and step through what the government could do to build support for more progressive economic policy. Then they discuss The New York Times investigation into the alleged sexual assault of Palestinian prisoners by Israeli prison guards and why it hasn't been reported in the Australian media. In Keeping Tabs: Karl Stefanovic has (another) new show, Anthony Albanese's brutal sledge on Royal Commissions, and a new Sky News game show.
