Meet the new Labor MPs and their many houses but few unions. Emerald and Tom assess the brewing threat that Trump and Big Pharma are coming after the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) (12:41). First they came for the affordable medicine, and I did not speak out, because I needed that medicine to live. Then, ew, news this week that defence minister Richard Marles’ chief of staff has been sexing a lobbyist who represents an Israeli government-owned weapons manufacturer. Literally in bed with the arms industry! What is to be done about the sick state of lobbying in Australian politics? (42:49)
