The Chaser Report

Charles recently went on a trip to Melbourne that lasted less time than the recording of this podcast. Astonishingly, even in this brief amount of time, his many connections to the who's who of the elite world meant he couldn't help but trip into star after star after star. This, is that story.

As the election campaign comes to a close, Charles and Dom gather their thoughts on the last five weeks from Dutton and Albanese.

Fong. Tune in on Monday to see how much of this was completely off the...

The betting markets (that we strongly disagree with) have had their say, so the election is practically over already.
