The government is creating enemies in its first weeks: the ABC, our regional neighbours and whistleblowers. Crikey editor Jason Whittaker talks to politics editor Bernard Keane on recasting the relationships — for the better and the worse.

Crikey Calling is independent media for independent minds – in handy podcast form! Join the Crikey crew for a lively (if somewhat wonky) look behind the scenes of politics and power in Australia.

Learn about what’s really happening in Canberra and around the country as we chew on the biggest national affairs issues of the week, dissecting the politics, policy and players as only the Crikey newsroom can.
