Join hosts Libby Davies and Robin Browne with MP Leah Gazan, Rachel Snow, Chuka Ejeckam and Karl Nerenberg for a fast-paced discussion on national politics. What just happened with that federal election? Will this minority Parliament be different than the last? What are the big issues on the Parliamentary agenda?
