Ep. 300: LIVE in Melbourne - Celebrating Labor’s Victory

What better way to celebrate our 300th episode than in front of a LIVE audience? Stephen Donnelly. Jessie McCrone, David Feeney,Benita Kolovos and Reed Fleming all bring their A-game - and a few iconic media grabs - to this celebration of Labor’s cracking campaign and decisive victory. Between the witty repartee and a bit of tea-spilling from these campaign veterans, the live show panel covers key topics like: 🔥 The Australian Labor Party’s dramatic turnaround after a narrow victory and a late-term slump in the polls. 🟢 The Greens’ reaction after being walloped on the national stage - and how they have seemed reluctant to engage in self-reflection. 🥶 How the Coalition fumbled the ball - over and over again - and what they could learn from this.  🙋 Tales from the trail - what it’s really like being a journo on the campaign bus, plus some highlights of star reporting. 👉 Looking ahead - what to expect from the next three years of an ALP Government.
