Just two sleeps to go! With the election day this Saturday 21 May, and with the polls showing a solid chance of a Labor win, the unhinging continues on all sides. Let’s talk about that, and other things.
In episode we talk about the ongoing corflute wars, a certain terrible election advertisement, Scott Morrison’s love of focus groups, his character, and the Coalition’s housing policy. There’s even a brief visit from George W Bush.
