Albo-Trump talks and Farage’s bin face-off

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has held a "productive, constructive, lengthy and substantial" phone call with US President Donald Trump.

Tariffs, AUKUS , AI and "a few personal issues" were all on the agenda in the wide-ranging conversation.

And PK and Clare have big thoughts about bins, well one bin in particular.

Nigel Farage has already declared victory over Count Binface in the UK Clacton by-election, but PK and Clare think the whole saga tells an important story about our times.

Meanwhile, Clare declares the so-called melon-saga "done" and PK tells us just how much fruit she eats (alot).

Also, Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan quits politics and Foreign Minister Penny Wong warns that populism poses risks for national security.

Patricia Karvelas and Clare Armstrong break it all down on Politics Now.
