Correspondent Jason Koutsoukis joins Democracy Sausage to discuss the latest power plays, election missteps and the lost heart of the Liberal party. 

How did the Liberal party misjudge the election? 

Now returned to power, can Labor deliver on its election promises? 

And is Sussan Ley up to the task of reshaping a Liberal party adrift? 

On this episode of Democracy Sausage, journalist Jason Koutsoukis joins Professor Mark Kenny and Dr Marija Taflaga to discuss stories from this new parliament.
