How do we turn the temperature down after Helen Haines attack?

Turn the temperature down - that’s the refrain from Anthony Albanese as independent MP Helen Haines battles to survive injuries sustained in a shocking vehicle attack. But what does that actually mean? What did Haines’ alleged attacker believe in? Can we draw reason and meaning from online rants or a grab-bag of grievances - and even if we can, how does it help us? And when the target of political violence is a mild-mannered grandma from the country, how do we find optimism?  Today, political editor Geoff Chambers joins us to think through all these big ideas.
