A big week of resignations

PK reckons this is the biggest week of politics (so far) this year.

And with the Albanese Government announcing a "purely defensive" deployment to the UAE, Iranian soccer players seeking asylum in Australia, Matt Canavan becoming the new Nationals leader after David Littleproud's shock exit — and now former ASIO boss Dennis Richardson stepping down from his Royal Commission role, there's certainly been lots on the agenda.

Michelle Grattan, Chief Political Correspondent at the Conversation and Professorial fellow and University of Canberra joined Patricia Karvelas and Fran Kelly to wade through it all on The Party Room.
