Episode Description

One Nation has unveiled a plan to slash migration by 750,000 over three years, sparking swift backlash from industry and both Labor and Coalition.

But as Clare and PK discuss, One Nation's political strategy has been effective. The minor party has once again managed to set the agenda and essentially "run the week". But, beyond the clever political management do the figures stack-up?

It comes as an emotional Anthony Albanese pushes back on Pauline Hanson's remarks about his mother, stating "kindness isn't weakness, nastiness is".

The PM has been backed in by politicians of all stripes, as Labor and the Coalition point to a pattern of behaviour from the One Nation leader, as her stoush with the liberals Andrew Hastie continues. So, could the ultra-personal sledges come back to hurt Pauline Hanson?

Patricia Karvelas and Clare Armstrong break it all down on Politics Now.
