Episode description

The Albanese Government has passed its gun reforms and watered down hate laws after a late night sitting of the Senate.

But three Nationals frontbenchers crossed floor to vote against the hate laws, which the Liberal party supported, defying conventions. So, will Opposition leader Sussan Ley force them to quit their portfolios — and is this a test of her authority?

Patricia Karvelas and David Speers break it all down on Politics Now.
