  • Clare O’Neill and the housing crisis

    Clare O’Neill is a superb politician, she knows her stuff whatever portfolio she is given. The interviewer was good on housing questions, but when he asked about climate change action he failed to follow up with why the govt is continuing to approve fossil fuel expansions and neglect the environment. Clare is so good she probably would have a given plausible sounding answer, but the govt is failing badly climate mitigation.

  • Is the Guardian hate media?!

    Interview with Liberal Julian Leesa was pathetic. No probing questions or challenges to his assertions. This was like a Liberal party PR puff piece. I expect more critical questioning from the Guardian

  • One of my favourites

    This was my favourite Saturday listen for a long time- I’m sad only to see it updated only twice a month now. I enjoyed immensely the long form interviews where you got to listen to (mostly) intelligent conversations with particular politicians (whether I like/agree with them or not) and policy experts. I don’t care who hosts, or if you rotate it around between the politics team…but please bring it back more frequently!

  • Very useful podcast

    To stay in the loop about Australian politics. Some episodes are a tad bland but generally contemporary topics are reflected well and discussed quantitatively, different points of view compared. Bravo, more of this please.

  • Vanilla performance

    Tedious interview with Andrew Giles leaves no doubt why labor votes are leaving in droves. Sick of the overly curated talking points.
