Is Prime Minster Malcom Turnball calling a week off and holding Parliament from sitting until December 4^th a delay tactic, or a way to get equal rights through faster and more efficiently?

In what we am sure is going to be one of many segments in the coming weeks looking at what is going on in Australian Parliament on The Informer, we speak to Rod Swift, former JOY political correspondent and volounteer, electoral expert and former greens candidate about the what this could mean, why it is happening and how it may affect us.

This segment appeared on The Informer on JOY 94.9 on 23rd November 2017.
