Labor Senator Charlotte Walker is only 22 but she has already made her presence felt in Canberra.

She’s a polarising figure. Some love her social media reels, fresh look on key issues and her youth. Others think someone that young shouldn’t be in federal parliament and find her annoying.

On this week’s episode of The Issue podcast Walker claims Pauline Hanson has hit a new low, she defends the Albanese Government’s digital duty of care, gives her full support to universal childcare and her take on how to solve the housing crisis.

This podcast was recorded on Monday 19 October before the incident involving Helen Haines.
