The Budget Shows the Media Got Played. Plus, the UK's Political Turmoil and Israel Hijacks Eurovision
About this episode
Os and Scott discuss the media's role in the budget's portrayal, the UK Labour crisis, and the Eurovision controversy involving Israel.
Tickets to our first national tour are on sale now! Os and Scott open by discussing how a budget that promised to fix generational wealth inequality contained little that will actually do that, and how the media got played into repeating Labor's line to young voters. Then, they look at the crisis in UK Labour and what it can tell us about the future of the Labor government here in Australia. Finally, they look at lobbyists in the media, answer a listener question about attribution and a scandal over the impending Eurovision song contest.
