On this Democracy Sausage, Mark Kenny and Marija Taflaga discuss the trajectory of the Albanese government after a challenging year at the helm.

Why is immigration such a treacherous issue for Labor politically? 

Will there be any imminent relief from the economic headwinds that have been buffeting Australians – and their government? 

And can Anthony Albanese keep the ship on an even keel in 2024? 

Professor Mark Kenny and Dr Marija Taflaga reflect on a turbulent year in federal politics on this episode of Democracy Sausage.
