Remember "Behind The News"?
I wish we had a version of BTN for adults.
MediaWatch is great but a little too smug, Insiders has discussion but just doesn't hit it(And Q&A is just a joke).
We need a smart explainer show which goes behind the scenes of a range of social issues

Australia has an enormous opportunity to be a world leader in renewable energy & manufacturing. We have the resources and tech to get us there. The Federal Gov must focus on clean energy solutions that work, not supporting the failing fossil fuel industry. #Budget2020 #Auspol

There is zero money in #Budget2020 to help women made redundant due to #COVID19 find work right now. Women have carried the biggest burden and made the largest sacrifices this year and the Morrison Government has yet again forgotten them.

Leigh Sales approach to the debt and deficit question is a masterclass – holding the government to account for their hypocrisy, without accepting the frame herself. #auspol #budget2020

So many of the government's measures are about privatising the recovery.
Letting people take on bigger and more risky mortgages, dip into their superannuation, relaxed lending regulations – they want people to run bigger deficits, so that they don't have to.

The government has today unveiled that they will ban sending waste overseas, in terrible news for Morrison's next holiday plans #Budget2020

How generous. The Morrison Govt gives back some of the money it stripped the #CSIRO. #Budget2020

Josh Frydenberg finally mentions climate change. Then **in the very next breath** commits to open five mega gas zones across Australia.

We have less than a decade to stop climate disaster and this budget is just throwing fuel on the fire with support for more fossil fuels. We need a real plan to build a new era of great public services, clean air, and jobs for everyone who needs one #budget2020

Australian aid budget is $4 billion exactly. Slightly lower than last year (4.044 billion) #budget2020 #aidbudget

If we begin to reimagine what work has value to our society, then we will discover that there is so much work to be done and so many more jobs that could be available to us
