How much power will the 'teal independents' have?

The big story out of the weekend’s federal election is the so-called ‘teal independents’.  Six women elected in key Liberal seats by campaigning for more action on climate change, greater focus on integrity in government and the electorate having a bigger say in how the country is run. 

 

Kylea Tink won the long-held Liberal seat of North Sydney.  In this episode of the Briefing, we find out why Kylea decided to run....what she hopes to achieve....and what the next three years will look like IF the ALP doesn’t win with a majority to govern in its own right. 

 

So on this episode of The Briefing....the teal wave....will it bring greater accountability to Canberra?
