Whatever happens from this week’s announcement by Peter Dutton that he sees nuclear energy in our future, one thing’s for sure – it will NEVER be forgotten.
If it succeeds, it will be a landmark moment in Australian politics and public policy.
If it fails and Peter Dutton gets flogged at the next election, at least John Hewson will be happy – he’ll no longer be shorthand for the worst Opposition Leader of the past 50 years.
This week on The Hoot, David Murtagh and newly minted Riotact Editor Claire Fenwicke discuss Peter Dutton’s announcement (because we’re not sure it’s ‘policy’).
One of the major criticisms of Dutton is that we have an announcement without a costing because he hasn’t gone out to market, hasn’t signed contracts, needs to figure out some detail … sounds kinda like light rail, doesn’t it?
Then, we turn our attention to another aspect of politics – consultation. In this case, around Ruth Park Playground.
It’s an epic facility built, believe it or not, without a car park and, get this, without toilets. Why? How?
And finally, is it right to boo your home team? Tim Gavel thinks not, but as a Parramatta fan who gave up on the team not after 38 years of coulda-woulda-shoulda but a truly woeful, weak performance in Darwin in April, Murtagh reckons a good booing might be just what some teams need.
Listen to the Hoot, share it, rate it, review it.
