About this episode

The episode discusses the political implications of recent events at Anzac Day ceremonies and the risks associated with chasing One Nation's agenda.

There were ugly scenes at Anzac Day dawn services when a small handful of people booed during the welcome to country in several cities. Most politicians condemned the behaviour, including opposition leader Angus Taylor, but he nevertheless said the next day that he thought the ceremonies were ‘overused’ and that he understood Australians’ frustration with them. In the same interview, he also said in relation to immigration there was a higher risk ‘that some bad people’ come from ‘bad countries’. Jo Tovey sits down with Mike Ticher, Patrick Keneally and Krishani Dhanji to discuss the risks of chasing One Nation to the right
