Word from The Hill: Coalition attacks on Katy Gallagher, Voice losing traction, future fund holdout.
As well as her interviews with politicians and experts, Politics with Michelle Grattan includes “Word from The Hill”, where she discusses the news with members of The Conversation’s politics team.
In this podcast Michelle and politics + society editor Amanda Dunn discuss the opposition’s attack on Finance Minister Katy Gallagher for allegedly misleading parliament in 2021 about what she knew of Brittany Higgins’ rape allegation.
They also canvass the recent poll showing support for the Voice has fallen below a majority for the first time, with Indigenous leader Noel Pearson calling for a shift in the presentation of the “yes” side, towards the recognition side of the debate.
As well, they discuss the government’s Housing Australia Future Fund, which has stalled in the Senate – will there be a compromise, or a defeat for the legislation next week?
