Manage episode 365091489 series 3009351
Emerald’s returned, meanwhile Tim Smith is threatening to. Emerald and Tom learn about the Petroleum Resource Rent Tax (PRRT) - and wonder why the government is going to make less from it than student loan indexation. Speaking of, that’s the second topic! How much did the HECS-HELP indexation cost Emerald? The PM got a free education, why can’t you? Finally, a call to action.
