Podcast: Full StoryPublished On: Fri Jun 19 2026
Description: Barrie Cassidy and Tony Barry dissect Pauline Hanson’s National Press Club appearance this week and ask: is the leader of One Nation treated differently to other political leaders by the media?

And also: will the government’s backdown on tax be enough to silence Anthony Albanese’s critics?
