Is One Nation the 'gayest' party?

from Politics Now · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation

Parliament returned this week but while Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Angus Taylor edged closer to key deals on legislation behind the scenes, other stories stole the spotlight.Shadow Housing Minister Andrew Bragg delivered a "loosey-goosey" and far-ranging speech ostensibly focused on housing reform.But the Senator's signature blunt style may have seen him step on some of his colleagues' toes along the way.Meanwhile, the PM was dogged by the so called "melon-gate" saga and calls for him to issue an apology to the Japanese Prime Minister — calls he appears to be staring down.And One Nation MP Barnaby Joyce made a bold call, telling PK that One Nation is the "gayest" party in Australian politics.Patricia Karvelas and Fran Kelly are joined by Katina Curtis, Senior Political Correspondent with Capital Brief on The Party Room.Got a burning question?Send a short voice recording to PK and Fran for Question Time at [email protected]
