The 2022 federal election marks a dramatic shift in Australian politics – not only a change of government but a sharp increase in the number of independent and minor party MPs.

This podcast discusses what the election results mean for public policy, and identifies the policies the Albanese Government should prioritise. Grattan CEO Danielle Wood joins Tony Wood, our Energy and Climate Change Program Director, in conversation with Kat Clay, Head of Digital Communications.
