See below for show notes:

The IPA’s director of research Morgan Begg joins Dan to discuss the government’s ‘lead balloon’ budget; Morgan expertly dissects the Federal Court’s judgment in the Giggle v Tickle gender identification case; the latest developments in US politics with two anti-Trump Republicans losing in critical primaries; the failing UK government; why the Budget reply speeches of Angus Taylor and Senators Hanon and Senator Canavan suggest the centre-right is now debating the big issues that matter; and why Australia’s National Anthem unites Australians and is here to stay.

The Mainstream podcast is a production of the Institute of Public Affairs.
