This week on Exchanges, I'm joined by Kieran Gilbert, Chief News Anchor at Sky News, to unpack the current state of the Australian election landscape. From low voter engagement and thin policy debates to the growing prominence of housing affordability, Kieran offers a front-line perspective on what’s shaping the national conversation.

We explore the increasing scrutiny on political leaders, the influence of international relations on domestic policy, and the structural challenges facing modern governance. Kieran also reflects on the need for stronger leadership accountability and greater transparency in political discourse, as Australia heads into a critical electoral period.
