Today the federal government’s much-vaunted social media reform kicks in - but Communications Minister Anika Wells has another drama to sort out: she’s referred herself for an independent audit after a huge drama blew up over her use of taxpayer-funded travel entitlements. So what’s fair when it comes to politicians’ expenses - and is this superstar minister under threat? 

This episode of The Front is presented and produced by Claire Harvey and edited by Joshua Burton. Our team includes Kristen Amiet, Lia Tsamoglou, Tiffany Dimmack, Joshua Burton and Stephanie Coombes. Jasper Leak also composed our music.
