Labor's populism pushback

Politics Now

Anthony Albanese says voter frustration with the system formed the backdrop for Labor's budget — saying if governments don't respond to the circumstances there will be "a continued rise of populism." But as another poll shows One Nation ahead of Labor as the most popular political party, are the Albanese Government acting too slowly? And as scrutiny increases on One Nation, there have been a series of gaffes over the details of their housing policy. So, do rusted on voters care about the messiness, or are they just looking to shake-up the system? Patricia Karvelas and Tom Crowley break it all down on Politics Now. Got a burning question? Send a short voice recording to PK and Fran for Question Time at thepartyroom@abc.net.au
