Albo's Trump sized headache

2 days ago | abc.net.au | Patricia Karvelas |Fran Kelly |Lara Heaton

Donald Trump has re-entered the domestic political frame this week, doubling the tariffs on steel and aluminium, while his defence secretary urges Australia to increase its defence spend. So, how is Anthony Albanese positioning? And then there's shock defection of WA Senator Dorinda Cox from the Greens to Labor — and Teal Independent Nicollete Boele just clinching the seat of Bradfield. But it looks like Liberal candidate Gisele Kapterian could appeal the result.
Laura Tingle on when politics is at its best

1 week ago | abc.net.au | Patricia Karvelas |Fran Kelly |Laura Tingle

Laura Tingle joins Fran and PK for one last party — and more importantly, one last strawberry daiquiri -- before she wraps up her 40-years in the press gallery. And the Coalition is officially back together, and leader Sussan Ley has announced the make-up of her shadow cabinet. But while plenty of fresh faces have been elevated, some key names have been overlooked. So, will Sussan Ley and David Littleproud be able to maintain party unity?

Are the Coalition getting back together?

2 weeks ago | abc.net.au | Patricia Karvelas |Fran Kelly

After a public and messy break-up, the Liberal and National parties have agreed to delay announcing their respective frontbench picks "in good faith". So, will separation be short-lived? And if the parties don't reconcile, how will both Sussan Ley and David Littleproud move next? Patricia Karvelas and Fran Kelly are joined by Anna Henderson, SBS Chief Political Correspondent on The Party Room. Got a burning political query?
Why the Nats broke up with the Libs

2 weeks ago | abc.net.au | Patricia Karvelas |Fran Kelly |Lara Heaton |Jess O'Callaghan

This episode was supposed to be a Question Time episode, but while Fran and PK were answering brilliant questions from listeners — the Nationals announced they would be splitting from the Liberals. So they had to talk about that, of course. But before the shock announcement, they discuss why the AEC doesn't count all votes on election night, give analysis on the social media campaigns of both sides — and analyse the third party vote at this election.

Three leadership contests in one week

3 weeks ago | abc.net.au | Fran Kelly |Melissa Clarke

It’s rare to have three leadership votes in a week but that’s what we’ve seen as the fallout from the Federal Election continues. Sussan Ley has become the first ever female leader of the Liberal Party but she has a huge job ahead of her, unifying the party and trying to win back voters. Meanwhile the new Labor cabinet has been sworn in and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says he is getting down to the business of government.
Why Bandt and Dutton's losses share 'parallels'

1 month ago | abc.net.au | Fran Kelly |Melissa Clarke |Lara Heaton

First Peter Dutton, and now Adam Bandt — Labor's redwave has swept away two party leaders. So, how do the Liberals and Greens move forward — and who is in line for the leadership? And Anthony Albanese faces tough choices as he looks to refresh his frontbench. But as the Albanese Government gets to work on its second term agenda, how ambitious can we expect them to be? Fran Kelly and Mel Clarke are joined by Clare Armstrong, National Political Editor for News Corp on The Party Room.

Peter Dutton's post-mortem - ABC listen

1 month ago | abc.net.au | Patricia Karvelas |Jacob Greber |Fran Kelly

Voters have handed Anthony Albanese and Labor a ringing endorsement. But the Coalition has suffered what Fran Kelly has labelled a "shellacking" - with Peter Dutton even booted from his own seat of Dickson. So, with their numbers decimated, who will put their hand up for Liberal leader? And brought to the brink, could John Howard's "broad-church" be forced to split? Patricia Karvelas, Fran Kelly and Jacob Greber break it all down on Politics Now. Got a burning political query?
