Published 11 months, 1 week ago
Description
The creation of a National Anti-Corruption Commission was a key Labor promise before it won Government in 2022. The Commission was duly created and this week it released the findings of its first ever investigation.
But was it a little anti-climactic? Can we hope for bigger and better corruption-busting in the future?
Plus, interest rate cuts and the confusing matter of the Trump tariffs, and their effect on the Australian economy.
Joining Jacqueline Maley to discuss is federal politics reporter Olivia Ireland and senior economic correspondent Shane Wright.
