    It's February already, which means it's almost time for parliament to start sitting for the year. What can we expect to be on the agenda?

    As the saying goes, in this world nothing is certain except death and taxes. But what about death taxes? Hear Peter’s thoughts on that topic.

    Episode 141: In With The New
    Jan 19 2023

    It’s a new year, everyone’s refreshed and raring to go, and The Professor and The Hack are no exceptions.
