Episode 153: Unions ban deadly dust, Profits fuel inflation pain, World Teachers Day and good battery news
Manage episode 380824347 series 2778983
Van Badham and Ben Davison are back with a new podcast episode that tackles why anyone would want to keep making a product that kills the workers who create it, how corporations have done just fine during high inflation and why they are spending millions to stop the government closing the loopholes that let them pay people less than their entitlements.
The union movement has said it will ban the use and transport of engineered stone if the government does not act and it has called for stronger workers rights to lift wages. Join you union at australianunions.org.au/wow
With inflation jitters spooking economists Ben and Van discuss why the economics of neo-liberalism continues to get it so wrong, what today's inflation figures might mean and why reducing our dependance on foreign oil is increasingly important.
October 27th is World Teachers Day so Van and Ben preview the For Every Child campaign, check out foreverychild.au , which is trying to get full funding for the 98% of public schools which currently don't have the minimum funds required to meet every child's needs. Van really lays out the issue.
Plus there is good news about Australia's biggest battery!
