Episode Description

Iran has “crossed a line” and “put Australian lives in danger".

Flanked by Foreign Minister Penny Wong, ASIO Director-General Mike Burgess and Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke, the Prime Minister confirmed Australia will list Iran’s Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organisation, following ASIO's “credible intelligence” to determine the Iranian government was behind attacks against the Adass Israel Synagogue in Melbourne and Lewis’ Continental Kitchen in Bondi in Sydney.

Meanwhile, Sussan Ley faces serious internal pressure over the Coalition’s climate policy, as leadership tensions flare once again over net zero.

Patricia Karvelas and Raf Epstein break it all down on Politics Now.
