Welcome to Crikey’s Electioncast, a new podcast offering an independent and honest look at the politics and policy in the lead-up to the 2022 federal election. Each day Crikey’s journalists will give you a no-spin look at what Australia’s politicians are doing to win your votes.
It’s the showdown you’ve all been waiting for: incumbent Treasurer Josh Frydenberg faces off against opposition challenger Jim Chalmers. Now, treasurer debates aren’t always headline bouts, but this election’s focus on cost-of-living pressures and a recent rate hike has earned it more attention than usual.
Electioncast is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify and wherever you listen to your podcasts.
For those of us that aren’t in constant possession of earphones/buds, it would be great if you could publish the transcript
Interesting to see a senior minister of the Morrison/ Joyce minority government in full flight.To be a minister in the minority government you need to have the capacity to quote statistics from elections and governments that have no relevance to the danger of electing a labor or labor minority government . You also have to be a master of the new form of statistics being the one that comes after Lies,Damn Lies, the one The PM relies on PMs Bull Shxt.
Sad to see the Weekend at Bernie’s type cameos of John Howard being used to attempt to make the PM look like a collegiate leader, not an autocratic Pentecostel disaster.
