Gulf Oil Spill

Paul chimes in on this weeks news live from his Summer Vacation in the Bahamas as we tackle The BP Oil Spill in the Gulf. Who is to blame and why is it taking so long to fix?

The latest pricing is out for The National Broadband Network roll out in Tasmania, will it be worth the price when it rolls out nationally across Australia?

From Obama’s appearance at The White House Correspondents Dinner making jokes at others expense, especially our favourite directed at Jay Leno, to Conan O’Brien’s interview on 60 Minutes, finally breaking his silence.

Ben helps us understand the Henry Tax Review and how Rudd’s plans will effect us and businesses across Australia. Mike and Paul revisit the Arizona Immigration Bill and this time manage to not have a on-air brawl. Last year Paul warned us that Swine Flu was a big ploy to sell medicine by big pharma and now come reports he may have been partly right!

All that, The Billboard Top 5 and heaps more on a packed episode of The Ploy.
