About this episode
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.
