About this episode
Today, Anthony Albanese is set to end his isolation and return to the campaign trail after he tested positive for Covid-19 last week.
As he returns to campaigning in-person, the cost of living has become an even more pressing election issue.
New inflation figures show prices are 5.1 per cent higher today than they were this time last year – which could mean interest rates are raised in the middle of an election campaign.
And in the midst of this China has signed a deal with the Solomon islands, which could see a Chinese base built in the South-Pacific.
Today, to analyse all the latest events, we’re joined by:
Chief political correspondent for The Saturday Paper, Karen Middleton,
Columnist for The Saturday Paper, Paul Bongiorno,
Election analyst from The Tally Room, Ben Raue
Guests: Chief political correspondent for The Saturday Paper, Karen Middleton, columnist for The Saturday Paper, Paul Bongiorno and election analyst from The Tally Room, Ben Raue.
