Hello friends, happy Monday! For this episode of Question Time, we spoke with Dr Mehreen Faruqi, Australia's first female Muslim Senator. We asked her about the challenges of internal party politics in the Greens, the controversy around her becoming a Senator, and her experience of being a woman of colour in Parliament House. This podcast is recorded on the land of the Boonwurrung People of the Eastern Kulin Nation and we pay our respects to Elders past and present. This land was stolen and never ceded. We also acknowledge the Country that you are joining us from, and pay our respects to any Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander People who are listening today. Theme music by the inimitable Alexis Weaver. Produced, mixed, and edited by Anthony Furci and Alex Tighe. Hosted by Justine Landis-Hanley and Matilda Boseley.

Hello! We're back with another episode of Question Time, this time with former Liberal MP Julia Banks. Julia was elected to federal parliament in 2016 under Malcolm Turnbull's government. But after Scott Morrison ousted Turnbull and took over as Prime Minister, Julia quit the Liberal Party and served out the rest of her term as an independent. She recently released a tell-all book, Power Play, in which she writes about sexism in politics and the toxic culture in the current Liberal Party. We'll be back with another ~regular~ episode next Monday! If you want to win a copy of Julia's book, her publishers were kind enough to send us a couple to give away.

Anti-lockdown protests have overstimulated the Liberals' Loose Units; and Labor sat next to the Liberals during the exam and has handed in a suspiciously similar tax policy.
