On this episode of The Grapevine, Kulja and Dylan get on the line with journalist and author George Megalogenis to break down the outcome of this historic election which saw independents topple traditionally safe Liberal seats.
Then, Researcher and Policy Analyst with Migration Council Australia and an expert on Turkish democracy, Dr Tezcan Gümüş, gets on the mic to talk about Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan opposing a bid by Finland and Sweden to join NATO. Dr Gümüş analyses the moves of these countries through the lens of the unfolding situation in Ukraine which prompted the traditionally neutral Nordic countries into geo-political action.
And Dylan chats with Scottish duo Aidan Moffat and Malcolm Middleton of Arab Strap fame. After a 16 year hiatus, they return with their album 'As Days Get Dark', which they will be performing at the RISING Festival on June 3.
