Crikey Calling is independent media for independent minds — in handy podcast form! Join the Crikey crew — including Canberra correspondent Bernard Keane, the country’s sharpest political commentator — for a lively (if somewhat wonky) look behind the scenes of politics and power in Australia.

Know what’s really happening in Canberra and around the country as we chew on the biggest national affairs issues of the week, dissecting the politics, policy and players as only the Crikey newsroom can.

In today’s episode, Jason Whittaker and Bernard Keane discuss the vexed issue of asylum seeker policy and the latest on the federal government’s Murray-Darling plan.
