Ep. 283: A Feeney February #12

“Utterly disgraceful…The United States is behaving like a bandit.”On this episode of Socially Democratic, former federal MP David Feeney pulls no punches when excoriating Trump’s position on Ukraine. Plus: listener questions answered. Your primary concern was the new American regime - how the example set by Trump, Musk, and Vance might darken our shores, and how we can stop it. Back in Australia, Stephen and David examine how both major parties are laying the groundwork for their federal campaigns. They discuss whether the United States would do well to have an Opposition like Australia, and whether there is merit to conducting a mass audit of federal spending. CHAPTERS:00:00: Introduction03:30: Albo’s Medicare Announcement12:40 Dutton’s Disclosures16:25: Listener Questions30:23 “Strategos and Taktikos”38:22 United States Politics51:13 Wrap UpThe presenting sponsor of the Socially Democratic podcast is Dunn Street.
