Parliament's back. What now?

Listen on

Episode notes

79 days after Labor’s federal election win, politicians are back in Canberra for the official opening of the 48th Parliament. Once the pomp and ceremony clears away, it’ll be back to business: as the Government plans to legislate 20% off HECS debts, childcare funding crackdowns, and penalty rate protections in the first sitting week. The Coalition and Greens have new faces leading their parties, vowing to approach politics differently over the next three years. Today’s deep dive will look at how the new Parliament will differ from the old.
