Does the ABC Vote Compass steer good Labor people to the dark side? Election week one starts with Emerald and Tom talking about the dumb media gotchas that Albanese couldn’t handle but Adam Bandt turned into a big moment (8:34). Then they discuss how Labor are cool with poverty-level welfare while cutting taxes for rich people (27:18). Greens WA Senator wunderkind Jordon Steel-John joins to talk adding dental and mental health to Medicare (36:07). Finally a call to action (1:09:11).
