Episode description

On this episode of The Grapevine, Kulja and Dylan get on the line with the Australian Workers’ Union National Secretary, Daniel Walton, to discuss the historic win for fruit workers – who have been historically exploited by the agricultural industry – securing a minimum casual rate of pay.

Then, journalist Sean Kelly calls in to talk about his new book, The Game: A Portrait of Scott Morrison. Kelly exposes Morrison’s approach to politics as a game that is his to win, and how the Australian people are the ultimate losers. Kelly’s book is out now via Black Inc.

And Sam Floreani, program lead at Digital Rights Watch phones in to break down Facebook’s re-branding to the new company name 'Meta' and its interest in being a key architect in the evolution of  "The Metaverse” online. Floreani analyses what it is, and what’s the tech giant’s agenda behind this marketing move.
