The Hoot is here for the final time in 2023, and in the time-honoured tradition, we’re looking at the year in review.
The Albanese government had a long and luxuriant honeymoon period, but this year the paint began peeling. What went wrong, and can it be fixed?
Listen on other platforms:
It’s also been a tumultuous year in the public service.
We’re still waiting (waiting, waiting …) for the consequences of the Robodebt royal commission to emerge. We know that 16 people face further action – but who are they, and when will it happen?
And then there’s the Mike Pezzullo imbroglio, a warning shot across the bows for mandarins if ever there was one on the dangers of getting too close to particular political agendas.
And finally, are you celebrating Christmas in the traditional fashion or getting the hell out of Dodge?
When is too much turkey never enough, and what role has tryptophan played in your Christmases to date? Our podcast hosts have various responses to the festive season challenge – one buys right in and the other is a bolter (after he’s finished opening his special Advent calendar, that is).
Find The Hoot wherever you get your podcasts, including Apple and Spotify. Have a listen, tell us what you think and rate us, and have a safe and merry Christmas … Hoot, hoot!
