In this episode, we delve into the ongoing fallout from the Robodebt Royal Commission report. Despite waning media interest, the problem persists, and the call for former Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s resignation from Parliament grows louder. However, removing Morrison from politics won’t solve everything; other ministers involved, such as Stuart Robert, Alan Tudge, and Christian Porter, might face repercussions as well. Moreover, there are concerns about other Coalition Cabinet ministers and certain members of the public service implicated in the scandal.Shifting our focus to international affairs, we discuss Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s attendance at the crucial NATO Summit in Lithuania. Against the backdrop of the war in Ukraine, both Ukraine and Sweden express their desire to join NATO. Although Australia is not a member, there have been talks of potential expansion into Asia – former Prime Minister Paul Keating has criticised this idea, warning against importing European militarism to the region.Turning closer to home, we examine the campaign of misinformation surrounding the federal government’s Combating Misinformation and Disinformation Bill. Sky News and News Corporation have launched a campaign against it, employing misinformation to sway public opinion. Unsurprisingly, the Liberal Party aligns with this opposition, as their interests align with spreading falsehoods. The effectiveness of the Bill in combating misinformation through media platforms remains uncertain, but action is necessary.We also touch upon the upcoming byelection in Fadden and the lack of interest surrounding it. Unlike the Aston byelection, which garnered significant media attention, Fadden seems to have a subdued atmosphere. Both sides of politics manage expectations, with Peter Dutton suggesting the Liberal–National Party will lose ground while the Labor Party claims they have no chance of winning. This cautious positioning allows for easier explanations regardless of the outcome.And finally, Philip Lowe will not be reappointed as the Reserve Bank Governor. Michelle Bullock, currently the Deputy Governor of the Reserve Bank and with the Bank since 1984, will take up the position in September, becoming the first woman to hold the job.Join us as we explore these topics, unravel the complexities, and provide insights into the latest developments shaping Australia's political landscape.
