On this episode of The Grapevine, Kulja and Dylan get on the line with Executive Director of Per Capita Emma Dawson to breakdown the Coalition Government losing their working majority in the house, the $3.50-a-day increase to JobSeeker, the revelations of the Aged Care Royal Commission, and the expose of Canberra’s toxic culture.

Weatherburn’s new book ‘The Vanishing Criminal’ co-authored with Sara Rahman explores why violent crimes have dropped by around 40-80 percent in Australia in the last few decades.
Then, Sally Rippin, Australia’s highest-selling female author returns to talk all about her new book series coming out for early readers called ‘The School of Monsters’, coming out 3 March.
