Federal Political Editor Michael Pachi joined Gary Hardgrave on 4BC Mornings live from Day 2 of the Labor Party’s 50th National Conference in Adelaide, detailing key debates around gambling reform, gas tax proposals, and growing internal backlash over the AUKUS defence deal despite $5 billion in fresh shipyard funding.

The conversation also highlighted Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's unexpected focus on One Nation amid their rising poll numbers, alongside concerns over new US trade tariffs penalising Australian imports linked to forced-labour supply chains.
