THE WRAP-UP: Why a dictator’s son was elected president. How one family helped derail Sri Lanka’s economy.

In light of the recent federal election, today's episode is a shorter one that keeps with the election theme! Join Kelly and Josh as they discuss:

How BongBong Marcos, son of a brutal dictator, convinced the Philippines to elect him President.
Why the collapse of Sri Lanka’s economy can be attributed to one family.

As Josh mentioned, here are some fascinating articles on how Labor’s win could shape Australia’s foreign policy:
