On this episode of the Grapevine, Kulja and Dylan get on the line with urban planning guru Dave Nichols to discuss the Montague St Bridge and it's calamitous history.
Then, author and journalism academic Andrea Carson breaks through the political spin, campaign lies and misinfomation of the federal election, and discusses the efficacy of political journalism in the current climate. Prof Carson is one of the panelists on a new podcast through The Conversation, ‘Below the Line’.
And Dr Anouk Ride calls in to discuss the tensions between Australia, China and the Solomon Islands and the country's attempt to move away from militarisation and focus on diplomacy.
