Rachel Withers and guest host Nick Feik discuss the week in politics.

Withers is an independent journalist and political commentator. She has written for publications including Crikey, Meanjin and The Monthly and co-presents RRR’s Spin Cycle on Thursday evenings.

The week in local politics has been dominated by the visit of Israel’s president Isaac Herzog, and the protests against his visit. What was touted by Albanese and the pro-Israel community as an opportunity for healing after Bondi has turned into anything but.

In the second half of the conversation, they discuss the ongoing problems of the Coalition, and the rise of One Nation.
