On this episode of The Grapevine, Kulja and Dylan get on the line with Dr Kylie Moore-Gilbert to discuss her resilience and courage in the face of her wrongful 804 days of incarceration in Iran's most notorious prison after being accused of espionage.
Then, Cam Walker from Friends of The Earth calls in to discuss federal election commitments from candidates. Walker predicts that the 2022 federal election would be a "climate election", and although it hasn't so far been a hot topic of debate by the fourth week he says the policies are there, albeit hidden.
And Benita Kolovos, Guardian Australia's Victorian state correspondent gives her analysis of the Victorian state budget in context of both the upcoming federal election and the November state election.
