Politics with Michelle Grattan: Election expert Antony Green on the election map
Michelle Grattan speaks with the ABC's election analyst Antony Green about the national electoral map as the federal election nears
Labor’s two-party lead has been cut back slightly, to 54-46%, and its primary vote has fallen in the post-budget Newspoll. But Anthony Albanese would have a strong win if the latest poll were reproduced at the election.
University of Canberra Professional Fellow Michelle Grattan and University of Canberra Associate Professor Caroline Fisher discuss the week in politics
It’s a paradox. The Morrison government, in deep trouble, has produced a budget that’s shamelessly designed to try to buy votes. But Labor, censorious in its rhetoric, has found itself having to embrace the budget’s central measures.
Opposition leader Anthony Albanese has made comprehensive reform of aged care the centrepiece of his budget reply delivered on Thursday night.
Michelle Grattan speaks with treasurer Josh Frydenberg about the budget.
For Morrison, budget night itself had been soured by an extraordinarily strong, personal attack on him by one of his backbenchers.

Politics with Michelle Grattan: Jim Chalmers on the budget Labor can’t oppose
Michelle Grattan speaks with shadow treasurer Jim Chalmers about the Morrison government's recent budget.
This is a budget for the instant – unashamedly an election bribe, and unconcerned when that involves pursuing some poor policy.
Weeks out from a possible election, the federal government has delivered a voter-friendly budget filled with giveaways
Tuesday’s budget will provide $49.5 million for aged care training for existing workers and people who want to work in the sector.
Scott Morrison finally got his way at the weekend when the Liberal federal executive agreed to candidates for several key NSW seats being picked by a three-person committee rather than the rank and file having their say

Politics with Michelle Grattan: Sarah Ferguson on reporting from Ukraine
Michelle Grattan speaks with ABC journalist Sarah Ferguson about her experiences reporting from Ukraine, how she was able to capture this story, and her views on where the conflict is likely to go from now
Political observers hang out for when the prime minister will announce the election date, marking the start of the “campaign”.
In a major turnaround, the Morrison government has accepted New Zealand’s long-standing offer to resettle annually 150 refugees who came by boat.
In the seat of Wentworth, the Liberals are being challenged by a high profile “teal” candidate, Morrison is unpopular, Albanese is preferred PM, and climate change tops issues people say will influence their vote.
Word from The Hill: Labor will give human rights award in memory of Kitching

Move over Mark McGowan and make some space for South Australia’s Peter Malinauskas on Scott Morrison’s recently-installed couch of Labor “besties”.
Whether the late senator’s treatment was unfairly harsh or part of the tough business of politics depends on who you ask – and in public life, the line between the two can be very fine indeed.
University of Canberra Professorial Fellow Michelle Grattan and Senior Research Fellow at the Centre for Change Governance Dr Lain Dare discuss the week in politics.
The March 29 budget will contain “targeted and proportionate” help for families with cost of living pressures and move fiscal policy towards stabilising and reducing debt.
Polls this week were once again music to Labor ears. Newspoll showed the opposition maintaining its strong election-winning margin. A poll in selected Western Australian seats had the Morrison government on the nose.
