Episode 14. On this episode I sit alone at 1AM and reflect on the issues making headlines making headlines. It starts as a whisper and ends in a bang. Should the spouses of government officials be allowed to do business and received tenders from the government? Are we being unfair in limiting their ability to trade and a making a livelihood? I also reflect on the government's re-introduced alcohol ban alongside the cigarette ban. Maybe government should have banned MORE of the things which are placing our healthcare system under strain.
