Democracy Sausage Podcast: Will new alliances stand between voters and their tax cuts?

This week we take a look at what to expect from the return of Parliament, why voters seem to want both tax cuts and improved services, and find out the two most annoying arguments in politics.

On this week’s Democracy Sausage the panel – Mark Kenny, Marija Taflaga, and James Frost – tackle a paradox of politics, new alliances in Parliament, Scott Morrison at the G20, and Trump’s historic handshake at the Korean DMZ. Listen here: https://aca.st/50e2c1
