Hughesy: ‘The Government's Corrupt’ – Why He’s Turned on Labor19 Aug54 min

<p>Tonight on Karl Weekly, Dave Hughes explains why he’s hit the campaign trail with the Victorian Liberals – and why he says he’s had enough of Labor’s taxes, government waste and corruption.</p><p>Hughesy reveals what pushed him to become more politically outspoken, why he believes Australians are ‘over it’, and why he thinks Victoria desperately needs a change of government. He also takes aim at the Commonwealth Games blowout, government spending and the lack of accountability for decisions that have left Victoria billions in debt.</p><p>Karl also speaks to sixth-generation Victorian farmer Ben Duxson, who is fighting $814 fines issued to farmers for refusing access to their own properties as the government pushes ahead with the $11.4 billion VNI West transmission project, with Pauline Hanson joining the farmers’ campaign.</p><p>And former AFP Detective Superintendent Dr David Craig joins Karl to examine the government’s new gun buyback following the Bondi terror attack. Craig questions whether taking legal firearms off law-abiding Australians will actually make the country safer, and warns that the legislation will not stop the next terrorist attack.</p><p>He also reveals where he believes the real security failures occurred – from counterterrorism funding and intelligence sharing to the resources available to ASIO and the AFP – and warns that another Bondi attack could happen if those gaps aren&#39;t addressed.</p><p>Subscribe to The Karl Stefanovic Show for more interviews, debate and conversations on the biggest issues facing Australia, the UK and the world.</p><p><br></p>
