Behind “Watch-Gate” – You Saw It Here First!

I discuss this weeks Senate hearing, where we finally saw the reality behind the Christine Holgate issue. Specifically, the quiet plans to privatise chunks of Australia Post, to the detriment of the Local Postal Outlets, and especially regional Australia; which Holgate resisted. And this created the ScoMo over-reaction in Parliament. Robbie Barwick from the Citizens Party joins me to rake over the coals.

The Australia Post Inquiry ‘D”- Day!

On Tuesday the Public Hearings will be held in Canberra relating to the Holgate affair.

With 22 submissions received, and the issues on the table, we look at the overall arguments, and question the values exhibited by ScoMo.

Good Cop, Bad Cop – Can Dutton Police The Pacific?

I caught up with Salvatore Babones from the University of Sydney, who recently published on this interesting question. What if defence in our region is more about Policing, than it is about investing in the latest big-bang toys?
