Episode description

The government is under increasing pressure to explain changes to Freedom of information laws, which could make it harder for journalists and members of the public to gain access to documents. 

Labor says the current system is outdated and clogged with trivial requests, but critics warn the changes will come at the cost of transparency. 

And the issue of migration is still dominating discussion in Canberra as fallout from the weekend's protests continue.

Patricia Karvelas and DAVID SPEERS break it all down on Politics Now.
