Van Badham and Ben Davison start their Wednesday on a Thursday with discussion of the federal government’s “Future Made in Australia” policy suite, and just what a policy dedicated to local jobs exposes about the people who criticises it and why unions are supporting it.

SPOILER ALERT: trickle down economics gets the rightful kicking from Ben that it deserves.
Next, Van’s horror at the massacre in Bondi Junction, turns to rage about the carnage opportunism of online disinformation influencers exploiting the tragedy.
The good news, though, is about solar cars!

I will say nuclear powered subs are about the next level technology for the Defence force. It’s a technology that won’t be out of date when they come online, conventional subs will be out of date when they could now be delivered. Nuclear power as part of the grid is a terrible idea. But when you need to be under the ocean avoiding detection from adversaries nuclear is better. Future made in Australia is amazing and love you guys as always!
