Serious Danger 198: Greg Jericho on Gaza, superannuation & how he got here
Emerald is joined by guest host, #auspol legend and Chief Economist at The Australia Institute, Greg Jericho! First up, a chat about his career and being a fellow target of important public interest journalist James Massola (3:25). (We thought about asking James to come on the show, but he’s very busy breaking Watergate 2.) Next, what should we make of the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas? (16:23) Could only Trump have made this happen? Why did Penny Wong have to be so weird about it? Then, the government has hobbled its proposed superannuation changes (35:53). Why did they wimp out? Did they announce it while Albo is on holiday because he is simply TOO BRAVE? Finally, a call to action (1:16:37).
