Serious Danger 218: War-flation, rate rises & CGT discounts ft. Rachel Withers
Oh no it was Rita Panahi’s 50th birthday and I forgot to send a card to her embarrassing party boat. Tom is joined by Rachel Withers, writer for Crikey and co-host of Spin Cycle on RRR! First up there is a new buzzword in town as warflation hits Australia. (15:25) Will another rate rise convince Aussie battlers to stop illegally invading Middle Eastern countries? Then Labor is bravely timidly quietly suggesting it is considering changing the Capital Gaits Tax discount? (42:53) Maybe Tim Wilson could write one of his awesome songs about it?

Rally for Palestine Land Day on Sunday March 29th, 12pm State Library in Melbourne
A day to commemorate the ongoing theft of Palestinian Land
Land Day (Yom al-Ard), observed annually on March 30th, commemorates the 1976 killing of six unarmed Palestinian citizens by Israeli forces during protests against land confiscation in the Galilee. It marks a central day of resistance against ongoing Israeli occupation, illegal settlement expansion, and land expropriation.
