| 10/16/26 |  Victoria! One Nation! A state election question bonanza | It’s Question Time - and not just any Question Time - a Victorian state election special!With one of the most consequential state elections of 2026 fast approaching, Victoria has been on your minds. So PK and Fran enlist friend of the podcast and Victorian political expert Raf Epstein to tackle your questions.What role will the Victorian Greens play in the election? Are party preferences genuinely hard to find - or being hidden? And what’s with all the weird minor party names popping up?Then there’s the One Nation factor. How could preferences translate into seats? Will the result fairly reflect the mood of the state?

| 10/15/26 | A sitting week with spooks and ghosts | It’s been a strange sitting week in Canberra, with the Albanese government trying to push through a packed legislative agenda - only to find itself repeatedly dragged onto political ground it hadn’t planned for.Labor was slow out of the blocks in responding to the Trump administration’s proposed livestream of a US execution. Is the government becoming too reluctant to criticise the president?Back in parliament, the government suffered a significant setback when the Coalition, Greens and Jacqui Lambie teamed up to knock its private health insurance changes off the Senate agenda.Meanwhile, a fight over ATO credit card payments has fuelled fresh questions about the relationship between Anthony Albanese and Jim Chalmers, as Labor grapples with growing signs of midterm malaise.The Greens are also testing their new leadership team, with David Shoebridge pushing the party into almost every major debate and trying to squeeze concessions from Labor. And then there’s Josh Frydenberg - back on the media circuit, promoting his memoir, floating policy ideas and doing very little to dampen speculation about a political comeback.Patricia Karvelas and Fran Kelly are joined by Tom McIlroy, Political Editor for Guardian Australia on The Party Room.Got a burning question?Send a short voice recording to PK and Fran for Question Time at [email protected] | 42m 00s | ||||||
| 10/14/26 | Got a problem? Just text the PM | Are the Prime Minister and his treasurer working together, or are they being played off against one other?Midway through a sitting week, the government has managed to put itself back in the firing line with small business over the ATO’s on-again, off-again credit card ban.That’s led to some performative text messaging, as well as a nasty moment in parliament that’s now taken on a life of its own.If that wasn’t enough, Labor is also staring down another fight over trusts.Patricia Karvelas and David Speers break it all down on Politics Now.Got a burning question?Send a short voice recording to PK and Fran for Question Time at [email protected] | 24m 00s | ||||||
| 10/13/26 | 'Spicy' late night letters about an AI world | The political fight is moving more and more online.AI companies want to build, train and expand in Australia, but the welcome mat now comes with conditions - including from a bipartisan committee sending letters pushing for tougher rules and stronger protections for creators, and a warning from Labor that a handful of AI giants could become the economy’s new “toll collectors”.But back in the real world, revealing comments inside Labor caucus are exposing tensions for the government - and warnings of “the penny dropping” for some MPs if things don’t improve.So who is really setting the rules - governments, platforms, or the companies building the technology? And how much political pressure is building offline while Canberra tries to regulate the online world?Patricia Karvelas and Clare Armstrong break it all down on Politics Now.Read Clare's piece here.Read PK's piece here.Got a burning question?Send a short voice recording to PK and Fran for Question Time at [email protected] | 32m 00s | ||||||
| 10/12/26 | Is Josh Frydenberg back? | Parliament is back for another sitting week and Jacob Greber is back on the podcast!But as Jacob tells PK, it's already looking like a "tricky" week for the Albanese government, with no clear passage for their legislative agenda.And PK thinks new Greens leader David Shoebridge will also be looking to make his mark. So, will he play "hardball" with Labor?Meanwhile, questions are swirling about whether former Treasurer Josh Frydenberg's will return to federal politics.Jacob thinks it's a sure thing, but it's a matter of timing — so with the Victorian election looming, is that time now?Patricia Karvelas and Jacob Greber break it all down on Politics Now.Read PK's analysis here - One Nation threatens major parties as voters turn to AI for informationGot a burning question?Got a burning political query?

| 10/8/26 | The 'raw politics' of immigration | While the government faces criticism from all sides over its economic management after the latest RBA cash rate hike, the Coalition is pitching dramatic cuts to immigration as a way to ease voters' economic pain. But can either major party meet the expectations of a frustrated electorate?Plus, Anthony Albanese navigates the tricky optics of another international diplomacy event at the pre-COP in Fiji, as the government fights suggestions the summit was a flop.And what does a major High Court ruling on scope three emissions mean for the future of Australia's coal industry?Patricia Karvelas and Fran Kelly are joined by Ron Mizen, political correspondent at The Australian Financial Review The Party Room.Got a burning question?Send a short voice recording to PK and Fran for Question Time at [email protected] | 45m 00s | ||||||
| 10/7/26 | Labor doesn't want a fight on immigration | Opposition leader Angus Taylor has undertaken a media blitz, as he tries to sell the Coalition's immigration policy.But he's already facing significant backlash from the business sector, who are warning of the implications for economic growth.Labor on the other hand have been giving the Coalition some "clear air" to sell the policy, which David Speers thinks is because the Government doesn't want a fight on immigration.As PK notes, why would the Albanese government prosecute the case, when big business is doing it for them?Meanwhile, OpenAI executives have faced a "bit of a grilling" at a Senate Inquiry. It comes in the wake of the recent Medicare breach and as the Albanese Government prepares to legislation national AI standards.Patricia Karvelas and David Speers break it all down on Politics Now.Got a burning question?Got a burning political query?

| 10/6/26 | Angus Taylor tries to 'outbid' Pauline Hanson | Opposition leader Angus Taylor has unveiled the Coalition's immigration policy, promising the "biggest cut to immigration in the history of this country".PK tells Raf she sees this as the Coalition attempting to "outbid" One Nation on immigration — but she's not convinced the Opposition (or anyone else for that matter) can.Raf sees the pitch as a response to the "existential threat" facing the Coalition and an attempt to "neutralise" immigration as an issue.But he reckons the lurch to the right could further alienate mainstream voters, and notes the Liberals are sitting on a "a razor wire fence with their rhetoric and their policy".Meanwhile, the Greens' think tank has called for publicly owned supermarkets to break up the Coles and Woolworths duopoly.It's a bold idea that "supercharges" a similar commitment from popular New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani. So, is this this kind of "crazy brave" thinking the Greens need to cut through?Patricia Karvelas and Raf Epstein break it all down on Politics Now.Got a burning question?Got a burning political query?

| 10/5/26 | Is the 'sensible centre' dead? | Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen are in Fiji for pre-COP talks.But back home the Opposition has labelled the high-level climate talks a "farce" and criticised Labor's investment during a cost of living crisis. So, could this critique backfire for the Coalition in the future?Meanwhile, Queensland's crackdown on the tobacco black market is showing some early promise, with legal cigarette purchases increasing by 55 per cent. It's put a "spring" in federal Labor's step and given them a foothold back in the illegal tobacco debate.And is the politics of pragmatism and 'the sensible centre' disappearing as the world becomes more "shouty". PK and Claudia have some big thoughts to share.Patricia Karvelas and Claudia Long break it all down on Politics Now.📖 Read PK's analysis here: The mood's changed.

| 10/1/26 | Inflation is up. Labor's mojo is down | The economy has been the key story of the political week, with an interest rate rise and some less than rosy inflation figures compounding Labor's economic woes.A war over words emerged over a discrepancy in the "emphasis" RBA Governor and Treasurer Jim Chalmers placed on the war in the Middle East.Labor struggled to land a message that connected with voters and they also lost some of their political mojo along the way. So, is this just a run of the mill midterm slump?And it's not just the Opposition holding the Albanese Government's feet to the fire over cost-of-living, with new Greens leader David Shoebridge focusing his stump speech on the economy and vowing to replace Labor.But not everyone in the Greens is fully behind the new leadership, with NSW Greens Senator Mehreen Faruqi making her disappointment known.Patricia Karvelas and Fran Kelly are joined by Charles Croucher, Chief Political Editor for 9News on The Party Room.Got a burning question?Send a short voice recording to PK and Fran for Question Time at [email protected] | 37m 00s | ||||||

| 9/29/26 | Who will lead the Greens? | The Greens are looking for a new leader, after Larissa Waters stepped down from the top job for health reasons.It comes as the Greens languish in the polls, while One Nation capitalises on the anti-establishment vote.So, as populism surges, will the minor party's next leader be able to seize the momentum?And the RBA is widely expected by economists and financial markets to raise interest rates today.Treasurer Jim Chalmers has undertaken a media blitz to try and manage expectations ahead of the decision. But is acknowledging persistent inflation enough for voters?Patricia Karvelas and Clare Armstrong break it all down on Politics Now.🎧Listen to PK's podcast chat with Larissa Waters here: Larissa Waters is a shameless optimistGot a burning question?Send a short voice recording to PK and Fran for Question Time at [email protected] | 33m 00s | ||||||
| 9/28/26 | Does Labor have the ‘midterm blues’? | PK is back from her break! And she's got some big thoughts about how the political "argy bargy" around the OpenAI Medicare data breach is playing out.The Coalition is pushing back on consequences for OpenAI over the breach, while the Greens have called for OpenAI CEO Sam Altman to appear before a Senate inquiry over the matter.It comes as Finance Minister Katy Gallagher flags legislation on AI guardrails could be introduced to parliament before the end of the year. But as Raf tells PK "it's just gesture politics but voters want the gesture".Meanwhile, as voters brace for another interest rate rise tomorrow, Treasurer Jim Chalmers has been talking up a $6billion improvement to budget bottom-line. But are they paying attention, or is this about Labor trying to gain some traction in the "attention economy"?And PK tells Raf she thinks the Albanese Government is experiencing the "mid-term blues" as they struggle with a difficult series of challenges.Patricia Karvelas and Raf Epstein break it all down on Politics Now.Got a burning question?Send a short voice recording to PK and Fran for Question Time at [email protected] | 29m 00s | ||||||
