Episode 547 Tues Dec 31 - 2024

On Episode 546 of our show, we explore possible ways forward should the Prime Minister decide to stay on. We also discuss the misguided — and recurring — idea that when it comes to scrutiny and ethics, there is little to no need to be concerned about the Leader of the Opposition (or leaders of opposition parties all around), simply because they are not currently in position to enact decisions for the nation; that the fact they aspire to be one day should not warrant scrutiny and reporting on their ethics prior to them being able to enact decisions for the nation. We also have a block of international news

 

Today we talk about:

* Two Competing Hypotheses About the Way Forward

* Prorogation and The Foreign Interference Report

* Party Leaders' Vacations: An Unhelpful Double Standard
