Politics Now - A podcast by ABC listen

Parliament returned this week, but the Albanese Government's momentum was quickly derailed after Donald Trump's announcement the US would "own" the Gaza strip. And while both the PM and Opposition leader declared they still support a two-state solution — they were both reticent to rebuff the US President's claims — with Peter Dutton labelling Trump "a big thinker". So, is the Government walking on eggshells over concerns about possible future tariffs? And back home, Hate Speech laws are expected to pass — after the Government agreed to Coalition demands on mandatory sentencing. But two Independents also played an interesting role brokering an agreement in the Parliament.
