Van Badham and Ben Davison discuss the Reserve Bank's guerrilla interest rate rise, budget leaks and what they might mean for you as well as the minimum wage and why unions are taking action against the people who'd pay you nothing if they could get away with it. So join your union at australianunions.org.au/wow

Ben breaks down the incoherence of the reserve banks ideological attack on working people and the government we all elected.

Van looks at how targeted budget programs can improve living standards and why it is a good thing to tax fossil fuel companies.

Plus there's a look at some key news for working people involving universities, Qantas and the minimum wage.

The good news is about electric roads!
