Disorderly debates and foggy finances

Business Weekly

Available for over a year

This week saw the rather unedifying spectacle of the first 2020 US presidential debate. Did either of the candidates offer solid policies on the economy or the environment? As further investigations shed more light on Donald Trump’s financial affairs we’ll ask why he has been so reluctant to make them public. We’ll also find out why Facebook is threatening to ban all news on its Australian sites and ask whether clubbing can survive during a pandemic. Business Weekly is presented by Lucy Burton and produced by Joshua Thorpe.
