A Palaszczuk reshuffle and a Sinn Fein March
Manage episode 364546615 series 2812256
This week Sam and Chern discuss results from the local elections in Northern Ireland and the new Cabinet in Queensland, Australia. With an election expected late next year, Anastasia Palaszczuk has reshuffled her team in an attempt to reset her government. What are the notable appointments? Will it provide the reset she is looking for? And is it an admission that the government has been struggling recently?
In Northern Ireland, Sinn Fein has become the largest party in local government for the first time, but where are their new votes coming from? Do these results make the restoration of government at Stormont more or less likely? Are the UUP and SDLP in terminal decline? And have the DUP received an endorsement of their continued boycott despite the nationalist surge? All these questions, and more, answered in this week's podcast.
