About this episode
The government has woken to another surprise Trump tariff.
Most trading partners, including Australia, could see an almost doubling on the tariffs already expected from the United States. If it proves to be true, can we do anything to weather the economic storm that might come from them?
And health and cost of living pressure is back on the agenda - but which framing of the current state of Medicare and bulk billing will win?
Patricia Karvelas and Brett Worthingon break it all down on Politics Now.
