Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

David Pocock on whether a 'teal' party is possible
Q: Can you give us an idea of how likely you think it would be that we would have a new Teal Party on our hands in the near future?
I'm not leading any of this and have been looped into conversations, but I think there's genuine interest and potential for new alignment among independents, though practical hurdles remain before any formal Teal party could emerge.
Coles caught red handed, so what next?
Q: Were you surprised by the judgment, or did you see it going this way?
The judge's finding suggested Coles had breached consumer law to prioritize its commercial interests over the customer, indicating a clear legal and reputational risk that aligned with prior expectations of regulatory strictness.
Ebola, hantavirus: can the world avert another pandemic?
Q: Melissa, as you've mentioned, this is moving quite rapidly. What does a declaration mean for other countries like Australia?
For countries like Australia, it means mobilizing resources, knowledge, and funding to support affected regions, while avoiding unnecessary border closures and focusing on testing and health system support.
Ebola, hantavirus: can the world avert another pandemic?
Q: Okay, Mel, why is the WHO treating it as a global health emergency? What does that declaration mean?
It signals that the outbreak crosses borders, is potentially larger than currently understood, and requires a coordinated response from many countries with resources and expertise to get on top of it.
Newsroom Edition: Michelle Milthorpe on fighting One Nation in Farrer
Q: What are your views on water policy, specifically buybacks and the Murray-Darling Basin Plan?
Milthorpe advocates stopping water buybacks, calls for a royal commission to review the Basin Plan, and pushes for accountability and local benefits from water policy.
