What better way to celebrate our 300th episode than in front of a LIVE audience?

Stephen Donnelly. Jessie McCrone, David Feeney,Benita Kolovos and Reed Fleming all bring their A-game - and a few iconic media grabs - to this celebration of Labor’s cracking campaign and decisive victory.

Between the witty repartee and a bit of tea-spilling from these campaign veterans, the live show panel covers key topics like:

🔥 The Australian Labor Party’s dramatic turnaround after a narrow victory and a late-term slump in the polls.

🟢 The Greens’ reaction after being walloped on the national stage - and how they have seemed reluctant to engage in self-reflection.

🥶 How the Coalition fumbled the ball - over and over again - and what they could learn from this. 

🙋 Tales from the trail - what it’s really like being a journo on the campaign bus, plus some highlights of star reporting.

👉 Looking ahead - what to expect from the next three years of an ALP Government.
