Episode description

Join David Speers for the first episode of Insiders: On Background. The new podcast digs a little deeper into an issue that will be covered on the show each week with an expert to better understand the debates dominating politics.

This week, the team visits the seat of Dunkley ahead of a crucial by-election on March 2. Both Anthony Albanese and Peter Dutton will be sweating on the outcome, which will determine their immediate political fortunes. David chats to Redbridge pollsters Kos Samaras and Tony Barry about the state of play for both parties, and looks at whether this really will be a referendum on cost of living.
