It's Question Time! But first, Fran does a West Wing welfare check on PK (she's in the slump part of the series). And then it's over to your brilliant questions, including: Is it bad for brand for Anthony Albanese to snap selfies with Donald Trump? Are Community Strong a new threat on Labor's right? Why isn't the Coalition's policy return bracket creep cutting through — and what does that say about the party leader Angus Taylor? Patricia Karvelas and Fran Kelly answer your clever queries on The Party Room: Question Time edition. Got a burning question?

Politics Now
The economy has been the key story of the political week, with an interest rate rise and some less than rosy inflation figures compounding Labor's economic woes. A war over words emerged over a discrepancy in the "emphasis" RBA Governor and Treasurer Jim Chalmers placed on the war in the Middle East. Labor struggled to land a message that connected with voters and they also lost some of their political mojo along the way. So, is this just a run of the mill midterm slump? And it's not just the Opposition holding the Albanese Government's feet to the fire over cost-of-living, with new Greens leader David Shoebridge focusing his stump speech on the economy and vowing to replace Labor. But not everyone in the Greens is fully behind the new leadership, with NSW Greens Senator Mehreen Faruqi making her disappointment known. Patricia Karvelas and Fran Kelly are joined by Charles Croucher, Chief Political Editor for 9News on The Party Room. Got a burning question?

Politics Now
NSW David Shoebridge has emerged as the new Greens leader, using his first pitch to hammer economic messages and vow to "replace Labor". And while he signalled the Greens would fill the policy vacuum left by Labor, are the minor party united around his leadership? Meanwhile, the economic blows keep rolling in for Labor, with the latest CPI figures handed down today painting another bleak picture for inflation. Treasurer Jim Chalmers and RBA Governor Michele Bullock aren't necessarily saying different things about what's fuelling inflation, but PK and David agree there's a big difference in "emphasis". So, as the Government struggles to find a path through the economic malaise, is Opposition leader Angus Taylor capitalising? Patricia Karvelas and David Speers break it all down on Politics Now.

It comes as the Greens languish in the polls, while One Nation capitalises on the anti-establishment vote.So, as populism surges, will the minor party's next leader be able to seize the momentum? And the RBA is widely expected by economists and financial markets to raise interest rates today. Treasurer Jim Chalmers has undertaken a media blitz to try and manage expectations ahead of the decision. But is acknowledging persistent inflation enough for voters? Patricia Karvelas and Clare Armstrong break it all down on Politics Now.Listen to PK's podcast chat with Larissa Waters here: Larissa Waters is a shameless optimist Got a burning question?
