Weekend Wrap 6th March 2022: Dutton’s incompetence shines through poor Insiders interview, Morrison fails flood victims, profits soar as wages fall

"The Week on Wednesday" with Van Badham & Ben Davison

Ben, live from the Adelaide Writers Week, breaks down the Peter Dutton Insiders interview that failed to ask a single question about his involvement with a Queensland business man, who he has made commercials for in the past, which FriendlyJordies has exposed as having been involved in questionable behaviour. Dutton sabre rattled about China, made up defence policy on the run, refused to be accountable for his failure to properly deploy defence personnel to assist with the floods and in aged care.

While people in Queensland and Northern New South Wales are forming a "mud army" to deal with the disaster Dutton railed against suggestions his government hadn't done enough to support the people. Despite even NSW Liberal Premier Perrottet admitting they had failed to do enough.

Ben looks at how this part of a broader picture of failure by the Morrison government on everything from a federal ICAC to un-needed car parks and how this weeks economic figures show that failure is being paid for by working people with wages FALLING while profits SKYROCKET.

We round out with a shoutout for the International Women's day events happening this week, including the big union rally in Melbourne this TUESDAY.
