In the fourth episode of our new election podcast, our panel discuss Anthony Albanese's visit to BluesFest, a Liberal's controversial comments on trans issues and whether anyone watches live debates.

Below the Line: Albanese has COVID, but Morrison is ‘blessed’ with an even bigger problem – podcast

From polls to party spin to policies, ‘Below the Line’ is a 2022 limited edition podcast breaking free of party, media and populist lines.

Regularly joined by journalists, activists and politicians in new episodes twice a week, we’ll unpack the election issues that matter to you. Produced by Courtney Carthy and Benjamin Clark.
