It’s only Day 6 of the federal election campaign and we’ve already seen candidates across the political spectrum forced to step down because media or political opponents have dug up something controversial that they said or did online in the past. That’s been leading to some uncomfortable questions . . . for them, and their party leaders.

Co-host Amanda Connolly, from Global’s Parliamentary bureau, is back with the second installment of our federal election series. She’s talking to Mary Anne Carter, a senior consultant with Earnscliffe Strategy Group, about what the parties may or may not know about their candidates heading into an election, and Global’s chief political correspondent David Akin about campaigning in the age of social media.
