As well as her interviews with politicians and experts, Politics with Michelle Grattan includes “Word from The Hill”, where she discusses the news with members of The Conversation politics team.

In this podcast Michelle and politics + society editor Amanda Dunn canvass federal parliament’s final sitting week of the year, including the House of Representatives’ censure of Scott Morrison, and the flurry of legislation.

Meanwhile the Nationals have sparked renewed argument about next year’s Voice referendum, and the Liberals’ trouncing in Victoria at the weekend is reigniting that party’s soul-searching about its future.
