Plus: Anzac Day Light Up the Dawn
| |
Hi — it’s time to get this political party started! | | |

Reporter Melissa Clarke is kicking us off this week with the inside scoop on what will define the next few months in Aussie politics.
“I’m Melissa Clarke, political reporter for the ABC at Parliament House in Canberra and co-host of the Australia Votes podcast.
The battle to win your vote for the May 21 federal election is well and truly underway. But between the scare campaigns, the gaffes and personal attacks, it can be hard to know what the politicians are really offering.
Away from the campaign buses and daily press conferences, I’ll be joined by fellow journalist James Glenday – with the help of the ABC’s nation-wide team – to dig into the parties’ policies and promises and how they’ll impact local communities all around the country.
From whether health care promises will help take pressure off regional hospitals and clinics, to how Western Australia’s COVID experience is shaping voters’ views, to the disenchantment with politics in parts of regional Queensland , the Australia Votes podcast brings a local perspective to the national campaign.
But sometimes, that burning question you have just never seems to be answered, or even asked! Insiders host David Speers comes to the rescue on Fridays, taking your questions and finding out the truth about what YOU want to know.
You can even start the ball rolling by sending your burning questions straight to the source. To submit a question to the Australia Votes podcast (and make sure you pop the show name in the comment box) just click here.
For a unique insight into the federal election, the ABC listen app has new episodes of the Australia Votes podcast every weekday afternoon.”
