Across Australia, we're witnessing a back-to-back barrage of bullying and belligerence against the so-called teal independent candidates. Not since three independents helped Julia Gillard form a minority government in 2010 have we seen such an attack on unaligned political figures. But is it working? Pollster, pundit and political expert Peter Lewis of Essential Media joins The Green Canary with his unique perspective and tells us why it might just be backfiring. Also this week, CO2 levels hit a new high, penguins hit a new low, and why the heck won't they let us see pictures of the reef bleaching?
