As well as her interviews with politicians and experts, Politics with Michelle Grattan includes “Word from The Hill”, where she discusses the news with members of The Conversation politics team.
In this podcast Michelle and politics editor Amanda Dunn discuss the significant thaw in Australia-China relations that’s come with the Albanese-Xi meeting, held on the sidelines of the G20 in Bali. The last such top-level meeting was between President Xi Jinping and then PM Malcolm Turnbull in 2016.
It’s now a question of whether this breakthrough will lead to serious follow-through, with a relaxation of China’s damaging restrictions on a range of Australia’s exports.
