Have Zali Steggall and Allegra Spender just become the party they always swore they weren't? Can a \"free vote\" constitution and no party room really survive contact with a Senate seat? Does the donation and spending caps from the last parliament leave community independents with no real choice but to collectivise? And what happens to \"putting community first\" the moment a hung parliament forces a deal?
Zali Steggall and Allegra Spender join Mark and Marija from Parliament House to discuss the launch of Community Strong Australia, the logic (and the irony) behind it, and whether teal voters will buy a party that insists it isn't one.
