August 2018 was an astonishing time in Australian politics. Yet another leadership spill consumed the national media, confusing and infuriating voters and leaving us with another new prime minister.

With eerie foresight the ANTIDOTE 2018 lineup featured an event with three of Australia’s leading reporters: Stop Blaming Political Media. Talking #libspill, Dutton, Turnbull and whether Australian democracy has a fighting chance are Phil Coorey, Niki Savva and Peter Hartcher.

They're joined by host Edwina Throsby in an attempt to figure out just what the hell has been going on in Australian politics, and how much the media feeds in to the process it reports on.
