Episode description
In a shock move, WA Senator Dorinda Cox has quit the Greens to join Labor, where she says her priorities are "more aligned". But what actually sparked the defection — and is there a risk here for the Government?
And PK and Brett dive into the latest on the Bradfield recount, and how the Fair Work Commission's decision to increase the minimum wage by 3.5 per cent is another political win for the Albanese Government.
Patricia Karvelas and Brett Worthington break it all down on Politics Now.
