About the episode

This year's election saw more crossbenchers elected than ever before, with nearly a third of Australians voting for independents and minor parties. However, the new government has begun its relationship with them by kneecapping their staff. Understandably that hasn't gone down too well, so we spoke to Tony Windsor, one of the most famous independents the nation's seen, to explain to us exactly what is going on. Poor form from Don Albanese? Or saving money by preventing the Teals from hiring their relatives? Have a listen and let us know what you reckon. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
