Shorten, Twitter Trolls and ANU — Ben Eltham

Posted on: Thu 14 Jun 2018

It was another big week in federal politics – headlined with Bill Shorten making an appearance on Q & A and Georgina Downer quitting Twitter ahead of the July by-election for the seat of Mayo.

Ben Eltham, National Affairs Correspondent for New Matilda, joins Nick on Breakfast to discuss these issues and many others from the wonderful world of federal politics.
