Politics Now

Is economic grievance the only reason some voters are flirting One Nation — and if so, why aren't more Millennials and Gen Z also supporting the minor party? It looks unlikely Labor will run a candidate in Farrer — so, why aren't they expending some political capital?
And what role are algorithms and echo chambers playing in voter behaviour?
Patricia Karvelas and Fran Kelly answer all of your clever questions on The Party Room.

PK reckons this is the biggest week of politics (so far) this year.
And with the Albanese Government announcing a "purely defensive" deployment to the UAE, Iranian soccer players seeking asylum in Australia, Matt Canavan becoming the new Nationals leader after David Littleproud's shock exit — and now former ASIO boss Dennis Richardson stepping down from his Royal Commission role, there's certainly been lots on the agenda.

Queensland Senator Matt Canavan has claimed the National Party leadership, with Victorian MP Darren Chester elected as Deputy Nationals leader.
The new Nationals leader has promised to "fight back" for Australians and called for a "hyper-Australia" approach. PK and Clare discuss how Matt Canavan's pitch could be the regional party's "best chance" to win back voters on the right from One Nation, but could be bad news for the Liberal party.
The Nationals leadership shake-up comes after David Littleproud's shock exit from the role, with the Maranoa MP declaring he was 'buggered' and had run out of steam.
Patricia Karvelas and Clare Armstrong break it all down on Politics Now.
