In the wake of the ongoing #Watergate scandal, Margo Kingston (@margokingston1) talks to Alice Thompson (@Indy_Ally) Independent candidate for the Sydney Northern Beaches electorate of Mackellar. Alice provides further insight and context to Margo regarding her recent Twitter thread about integrity in government.

Alice Thompson’s Tweet coincided with what many have described as a ‘trainwreck’ interview on ABC RN Drive (@RNDrive) with Patricia Karvelas (@PatsKarvelas) and Barnaby Joyce (@Barnaby_Joyce) [listen here]
