Rachel, Jess and Charlie are joined by former Guardian political reporter, now chief political analyst at the Australia Institute, Amy Remeikis. She explains the role of think tanks and shares her thoughts on the state of the Australian political media, particularly in the lead up to the election. The team also talk about misogyny in commercial radio (again) in light of Marty Sheargold's sacking from Triple M.
