The Professor and The Hack

It's February already, which means it's almost time for parliament to start sitting for the year. What can we expect to be on the agenda?

As the saying goes, in this world nothing is certain except death and taxes. But what about death taxes? Hear Peter’s thoughts on that topic.

And what is it about the current state of Medicare that has Hugh all a-fluster?

This week Hugh and Peter discuss Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s visit to Alice Springs and whether the immediate actions he imposed will be effective in what is a very complex situation.

They also think about how The Voice is conflated with other issues before surmising the state of politics in New South Wales.

And what are the pressure points of any potential Medicare reform? 

It’s a new year, everyone’s refreshed and raring to go, and The Professor and The Hack are no exceptions.

So, what can we expect this year? Is it true that ‘inflation’s back because Labor’s back’? Can we look forward to a time when interest rates stop rising or are we headed for a recession? And is it the year of the rat, rabbit or Rabbitoh?

In which The Professor and The Hack spread some Christmas cheer throughout the land!

Hugh and Peter take a look back at the year that was 2022, taking in all the highs and lows, winners and losers, before turning their attention to what’s in store in 2023.

Well 2022 is drawing to a close, and there’s no doubt it’s been a pretty busy year in politics.

Will the year end on a high for Anthony Albanese? Where will energy prices be in 2023? What are the key takeaways from the new Australian Election Study? And why will The Professor be donning a shirt next week?
