Episode 134: Labor’s big Keynesian budget and good news for the environment!
Manage episode 362903808 series 2778983

Van Badham and Ben Davison take a deep dive on the ideological frameworks that have crafted the first Commonwealth budget surplus in 15 years while also delivering increases to wages, Jobseeker, parenting payments, rent assistance and massive investments in health, Medicare and aged care.
The budget doesn't deliver everything everyone wants and Ben and Van explain how and why some of the decisions, both popular and unpopular, have their roots in Keynesian economics which, after 40 years of neoliberalism, is not something everyone instantly recognises.
The union movement has made some big wins in this budget for jobs, wages, energy transition, TAFE and much more. You can join your union at australianunions.org.au/wow
There is also great news for the environment with the establishment of an Environmental Protection Agency and big investments in our national parks and waterways. Plus real commitments to the arts, the Voice, breaking the artificial "caps" imposed under Morrisonism and beginning to rebuild our public services, needs based education and NDIS.
As always we give shout outs to our amazing Cadre and Extend the Reach supporters from www.buymeacoffee.com/WeekOnWednesday
