Mitchell Unlimited: Who do you trust to fix Victoria? Part 1, Premier Ben Carroll Victoria, by any definition, is in trouble. With the state election approaching, Neil Mitchell starts a three-part series to help you make one of the biggest decisions of our lives. Over the next three weeks he’ll put the hard questions to the three people who want the job: Premier Ben Carroll, Opposition Leader Jess Wilson, and the orange elephant in the room, One Nation’s Warren Pickering. First up is the incumbent, for now. Premier Ben Carroll faces the kind of interview that made Neil’s name. Plus, in Boomer vs Millennial, Neil and Cam argue over manners. Have millennials forgotten how to use a knife and fork, or are boomers just rude and calling it “direct”? They also debate whether prenups should be compulsory, and there’s a final reckoning over a mouse, a broom and a man standing on a chair. Mitchell Unlimited with Neil and Cameron Mitchell.
