Sarah Ferguson presents Australia's premier daily current affairs program, delivering agenda-setting public affairs journalism and interviews that hold the powerful to account. Plus political analysis from Laura Tingle.
SARAH FERGUSON, PRESENTER: The Greens , I want to understand, I want you to explain to the audience what their tactics have been about this week.
Housing, they've been very successful at carving that territory out from Labor but this week we've seen this push on the CFMEU issue, which they're saying is a simple, and last week too, is a civil liberties issue. Which is fine, but I'm not quite sure that it actually helps them. LAURA TINGLE: I don't think that it actually helps the Greens. You know, it was a lot of ugly footage and you can't see why it would help.
LAURA TINGLE: He's essentially saying that big corporations should be paying more tax and so we've got the head of the Commonwealth Bank, Matt Comyn saying this is much too simplistic. Everybody ends up paying more if we put taxes up now.
