In what was a historic election, Labor was returned to government for a second term, in monumental fashion, the likes of which we may never see again!

From Dutton’s departure, to the sheer number of first-time-ever moments, to Admin 1’s adventures on the night, we look at everything that went right for Labor, to what went wrong for the Libs.

We also take a look at the many surprises this election, as we farewell some of our former guests, and explore what the hell happened to the Greens.

We have a surprise guest for this week, with Konrad from Punter’s Politics taking time out of his Melbourne Comedy Festival tour to chat all things election!

We chat about the state of play, how Dutton has (so far) fumbled the bag, and whether this election is the last one where a hung parliament is possible!

DON'T RISK DUTTON - Read the election facts from Australian Unions

In our attempt to do the funniest thing ever, we welcomed independent candidate for Dickson, and Peter Dutton’s opponent Ellie Smith onto the podcast! 

We chat all things Queensland politics, Cyclone Alfred and the challenges of running against the top dog of the Liberal Party. We dive into why the Liberal Leader’s seat is so marginal, and how Ellie plans to pull off the campaign of a lifetime, by listening to voters that Peter Dutton has taken for granted for far too long.

DON'T RISK DUTTON - Read the election facts from Australian Unions

Our third Federal MP to sit down with us, we chat with Zali Steggall MP OLY, the member for Warringah! 

While she built her reputation off her Olympic exploits, we put the spotlight on her political career, and ask “how did you do it”. 

We discuss her fresh take on independent politics, which not only ousted former Prime Minister Tony Abbott, but kicked off a new generation of independents in the Teal wave we see today, before talking about the upcoming election, and her goal to hold party politics to account.

In a first during Season 2, we are joined by Admin 2 in the Melbourne Studio! We unpack a rather uncalled for announcement from Matt Canavan, Peter Duttons amazing disappearing act in times of crisis, and whether he has fumbled the keys to the Lodge. We also go through his rather questionable policy choices, how it will affect the everyday person, not just in the public sector that may be culled, but by all of us, who end up using the fruits of their labour.
