Ep. 304: Feeney Files with Jessie McCrone

from Socially Democratic · host Stephen Donnelly

Changes are afoot at Socially Democratic HQ - namely, the addition of Jessie McCrone as a regular guest to the Feeney Files.Which does mean we need a new name. If you have any brilliant suggestions, let us know in the comments. This month: Why is serious policy reform so difficult in Australia? We ponder the frenzied reaction to Labor’s relatively modest super tax reforms. Clare O’Neil thinks we could solve the housing crisis by making it easier to build new homes. Is she being too optimistic?And of course, we can’t have an episode without talking about Iran. Definitely not with David on the show.If you’ve had your fill of election coverage and are keen for some policy and foreign affairs chat - this wide-ranging conversation is for you.CHAPTERS:00:00 Show Start02:38 David Complains05:07 Dorinda Cox Defects13:09 Clare O'Neil Insists23:22 Jim Chalmers Pledges33:21 Trump Flakes40:21 Iran Equivocates52:46 Vic Liberals Fall Apart59:25 Albo Goes to the VaticanMentioned in the episode:Abundance by Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson https://tr.ee/5oSsjKSupport the showSocially Democratic is an opinion-based political and campaign podcast that facilitates discussion on a range of topical issues.
