Pauline Hanson's Million Dollar Week, Trump's World Cup Mess and Australia's Baby Drought
from Covered · host Annie Pullar & Jodi Lee
This week on Covered, Labor tried to fundraise off the threat of One Nation and it backfired spectacularly, handing Pauline Hanson a million dollar war chest and the slogan Fire the Liar. We get into the spin war that swallowed Australian politics, right down to the billboard truck targeting Jacinta Allan that dragged ditch the witch back into the conversation. Then to the FIFA World Cup, where Trump's America is threatening to derail the biggest sporting event in history, with Iran's team driving across the Mexican border to play and fans from a dozen countries locked out. Plus Australia is in a baby drought with the fertility rate hitting a record low.
