Hello friends, happy Monday! For this episode of Question Time, we spoke with Dr Mehreen Faruqi, Australia's first female Muslim Senator. We asked her about the challenges of internal party politics in the Greens, the controversy around her becoming a Senator, and her experience of being a woman of colour in Parliament House.

Hello! We're back with another episode of Question Time, this time with former Liberal MP Julia Banks. Julia was elected to federal parliament in 2016 under Malcolm Turnbull's government. But after Scott Morrison ousted Turnbull and took over as Prime Minister, Julia quit the Liberal Party and served out the rest of her term as an independent. She recently released a tell-all book, Power Play, in which she writes about sexism in politics and the toxic culture in the current Liberal Party. We'll be back with another ~regular~ episode next Monday! If you want to win a copy of Julia's book, her publishers were kind enough to send us a couple to give away.

Howdy! We are BACK baby with our regular weekly episode. And this week we are bringing you TWO. MASSIVE. REASONS why the govt isn't going to call the federal election this year 😬 First up, why was NSW so reluctant to call a lockdown despite days of double digit Covid cases? Then, we deep dive into the Nationals leadership spill that has seen Australia's weird uncle Barnaby Joyce become Deputy Prime Minister (... again). How did this happen and what does this mean for climate policy, women, and the govt's election chances?
