Jan Fran Has Issues: Co$t of Living

Feat. Ebony Bennett, Simon Birmingham, Jim Chalmers + Ray Martin

Happy Easter long weekend Fearmongers —

So we’ve brought in a special referee - Ebony Bennett from The Australia Institute - to call our showdown match between Finance Minister Simon Birmingham and Shadow Treasurer Jim Chalmers. 

Also, Ray Martin tells us how the cost of a birthday cake brought down a potential Prime Minister in this week’s ‘Weird Election History’. 

Ahem, that’s not Ray. This is Ray:
