Back to Back Barries: the fallout from a Victorian coup

背靠背巴里:维多利亚政变余波

§

Tony Barry and Jon Faine (sitting in for Barrie Cassidy this week) examine the ousting of Jacinta Allan and the anointing of Ben Carroll as the new premier of Victoria. They discuss what it could all mean for the upcoming election and while they say anything can happen, Tony’s tummy compass points to a win for Jess Wilson.And, weeks into the royal commission on antisemitism and social cohesion, Faine gives his take on the hearings so far

托尼·巴里和乔恩·费恩(本周代班巴里·卡西迪)审视了雅辛塔·艾伦被罢免以及本·卡罗尔被拥立为新任维多利亚州州长的过程。他们探讨了这一切对即将到来的选举意味着什么,尽管他们表示一切皆有可能,但托尼的「直觉罗盘」指向杰丝·威尔逊获胜。此外,在反犹主义与社会凝聚力皇家委员会听证会进行数周后,费恩给出了他对目前听证会情况的看法。
