About this episode
The episode features a discussion on recent political issues with guests Tim Batt and Dane Giraud.
We have started a new segment here on Afternoons, that we call Political Group Chat - a chance for interesting people to say what they're thinking out loud on topics that have been in the news in the last week. Tim Batt and Dane Giraud are our guests and today we're looking a range of issues from the Government's proposed public service job cuts, MP allowances, homeschooling rules and a social media ban for under 16s.
