Political reporting tends to focus on the theatrics of federal parliament. But state governments manage important policy areas that directly impact on our daily lives – including health, education and justice.

Chaired by Andrew Dodd, with James Campbell and Maxine McKew.
New News is presented in partnership with the Centre for Advancing Journalism at the University of Melbourne, and Monash University.
