The first 100 days of a new government are crucial for any prime minister.

It’s their first opportunity to put in to action a policy agenda promised to voters in an election, and the time when Australians are most open to big plans and big ideas.

This week on Please Explain: a special episode, recorded in front of a live audience at the Sydney Opera House as part of the Antidote Festival. Special guests David Crowe, Shane Wright and Jacqueline Maley join National Editor Tory Maguire to dissect the first 100 days of an administration many thought would never exist.
