Mark Latham joins us to unpack the Prime Minister’s China trip — is it the long-awaited thaw in Australia-China ties, or just another round of polite diplomacy? What’s the real economic and strategic payoff?

We also take stock of Chris Minns’ government at the halfway mark. The honeymoon’s over — can he deliver enough on housing, the budget, and union clashes to keep voters onside? And what’s this whispered election strategy Labor isn’t talking about yet?

Plus, Treasurer Jim Chalmers downplays the latest unemployment spike. Is the economy still strong, or are storm clouds gathering?
