Aaron Smith joins SpinProof

SpinProof

This Friday Denise is joined by fellow Twitter traveller - Aaron Smith. They discuss the #auspol week from the NSW Liberal local Council election ‘debacle’ to Dutton’s current dog whistle on Gaza - to Labor’s back down on gambling advertising on free to air broadcast channels. As active Twitter users they also discuss the conflict of staying on a platform run by an increasingly concerning Elon Musk. Aaron then speaks about his deep dive into Victorian electoral guidelines and the major Parties using the loophole of nominated entities to fund their election campaigns. This discussion is of course in the context of proposed Federal electoral reform where Aaron points out that the detail of any reforms requires scrutiny as the expectation is that with a declining primary vote the major Parties will protect themselves from independents and minor Parties. Yet another good listen to wrap a busy #auspol week.
