Southern FM Newsman Colin Tyrus snagged another interview with Liberal Member for Brighton James Newbury and topping the agenda was the overnight (apparent) defection of Liberal MP Colleen Harkin to One Nation. James Newbury also talks about crime and (lack of) punishment, his fight against high-density housing for Bayside, and how he helped to reinstate the footpath barbecue in front of a Church Street (Brighton) butcher shop. All that and much more in this podcast from A Newsman and His Music on Monday 22 June 2026.
