Hi there, I’m Jacqueline Maley, the host of Inside Politics, The Age and the Sydney Morning Herald’s weekly politics podcast. 

We’re bringing you the best episodes of 2024, before we return in early February for the election year.

One of the big issues of the federal election will be energy policy, with the opposition backing nuclear power over wind and solar as its path to a greener, cleaner world. 

This episode aired just after Coalition leader Peter Dutton first unveiled his nuclear plans, all dissected by chief political correspondent David Crowe and national climate and environment editor Nick O’Malley.

National affairs correspondent Matthew Knot also makes an appearance to talk about a visit from Chinese premier Li Qiang.
