Macca and Kenny are joined live on-air by Rachel Withers Freelance writer; Crikey contributor; co-host, Spin Cycle on Triple R. The Coalition is trying to outflank One Nation, the teals are becoming a party without quite calling themselves one, and now a government envoy wants a new body looking over the ABC’s shoulder. To separate the politics from the spin, we’re joined by writer and broadcaster Rachel Withers. Rachel Withers is a freelance writer with an unfortunate penchant for Australian politics. She is the former editor of The Politics and currently co-hosts Spin Cycle on Triple R radio.
