1:17:51Now PlayingKonrad sits down with Tanya Plibersek for our longest conversation with a senior Labor figure - discussing media clipping culture, online abuse, gas royalties, Wealth inequality, money in politics, transparency laws, and whether Labor is genuinely different or just operating the same system with better branding.
We also break down David Pocock’s viral Senate Estimates moment exposing how Australia collects more tax from beer than offshore gas — and why that clip exploded. Plus, we run a social media audit on Kat Theophanous to unpack what politicians are finally learning about cut-through online.
Note: Tanya quickly offered a correction to one of the claims made in our chat. Wages have gone up 9k a year since they took government not* 14k. A citation was provided. Cheers for the self fact check Tanya.
