About this episode
The Prime Minister has now added his voice to growing calls for Liberal Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price to apologise for her remarks about Indian migrants.
Shadow Attorney General Julian Leeser has apologised to the Indian Australian community for her remarks, while the Senator has doubled down, urging the Opposition leader to force her colleague Alex Hawke to apologise for the way he raised the matter with her. So, has the issue become a "proxy war" for the future of the party?
It comes as the Prime Minister jets off to the Pacific Island Forum, but in a diplomatic blow a landmark security pact with Vanuatu has been put on ice. So, as Labor tries to counter the rise of China in the region, has diplomacy in the Pacific simply become "transactional"?
Patricia Karvelas and Raf Epstein break it all down on Politics Now.
