“When they go low, we go high.” Michelle Obama first said this now-famous catchphrase in 2016, but it’s still just as relevant – especially in the wake of the attempted assassination of former US president Donald Trump. In this week’s episode, Angela Priestley and Tarla Lambert break down the risks that we face from violence in politics – and perhaps the opportunities in the aftermath of the incident.
We also bring you an interview with Women’s Agenda journalist Olivia Cleal and Queensland Premier Steven Miles. Last month, the Queensland government unveiled its Putting Queensland Kids First Action Plan – the Premier unpacks the $500 million project.
Stories discussed this week:
- ‘We don’t need you’: Serena Williams has no time for NFL player Harrison Butker
- Labor’s Ali France is running for her third election against Peter Dutton in Dickson
- Australia’s reminder to protect politics from violence
