Democracy Sausage podcast: Coronavirus crisis theres an app for that – Policy Forum

On this episode Mark Kenny talks with Anne McNaughton, Mark Evans, and Marija Taflaga about the governments COVID-19 app, post-crisis tax and economics, and whether consensus politics has any chance of continuing after the crisis.

The government has released its coronavirus-tracing app, but do Australians trust their government with the data it gathers? Could it be time to revisit the findings of the Henry Tax Review as the country charts a course to recovery? And will the consensus politics weve seen through the national cabinet continue after the crisis? Professor Mark Kenny is joined at the Democracy Sausage hotplate by Anne McNaughton, Professor Mark Evans, and Dr Marija Taflaga to chew over the week in politics and public affairs.
