One Nation leadership rumbles emerge

Politics Now

It's Question Time! But before Fran and PK dive into your clever questions, they wrap up the latest political developments. Pauline Hanson's podcast interview with far-right UK agitator Tommy Robinson is making waves — including it seems, within the One Nation itself. The One Nation leader suggested her daughter Lee Hanson had the "potential" to be a future leader of the party, so where does this leave Barnaby Joyce? And what's the history of Royal Commissions in Australia and when do they work best? We asked an expert. And while housing has dominated the political agenda, what impact is our aging population having on demand? Could older people house sharing offer a solution and importantly, what kind of roommates were PK and Fran? (spoiler: one of them was very protective of their butter!) And could an Australian MP pull a "stunt" like Nigel Farage? PK and Fran don't think so — and they also feel VERY differently about Count Binface. Patricia Karvelas and Fran Kelly answer your clever queries on The Party Room: Question Time edition. Listen here to Royal commissions in Australia — when have they made a difference? Listen here to Labor's AI plan and Hanson's holiday Got a burning question? Send a short voice recording to PK and Fran for Question Time at thepartyroom@abc.net.au
