Is our politics becoming more 'divisive'?
Manage episode 436836449 series 166315
Treasurer Jim Chalmers has labelled Opposition leader the "most divisive leader" in modern history - suggesting this should be "disqualifying" for a leader. But Peter Dutton has hit back, slamming the Treasurer for being too focused on personality rather than policy.
It comes as Greens MP Max Chandler Mather controversially fronted a CFMEU protest in Brisbane, suggesting the Government had introduced "the most draconian and anti-worker" legislation against the embattled union. Will the move win the Greens votes, or risk alienating some of their base?
Jacob Greber, ABC Chief Digital Political Correspondent joins Fran Kelly and Patricia Karvelas on The Party Room.
