About this episode

PK and Melissa Clarke are on a unity ticket that this has been one of the biggest weeks in politics this year.

So, before they answer your clever questions they dig into the response to Labor's capital gains tax carve-outs, the latest from the US-Iran ceasefire and of course Gina Rinehart's curious orange bulldozer stunt.

And then it's over to the partyroomers! Does Labor need more outspoken backbenchers? Will One Nation stand-up to the scrutiny of an election campaign? Are politicians speaking to renters? And why are data centres facing some backlash?

Patricia Karvelas and Melissa Clarke answer your queries on The Party Room: Question Time edition.

Catch up on Thursday's ep here: Annabel Crabb on a doozy of a week
