Should Labor adopt a 'manifesto'?

It's a bonus Question Time edition! And today, Fran and PK are diving into some of YOUR big questions about the behind the scenes machinations and optics of Australian politics.

Including, are the seating arrangements in parliament strategic for the cameras? What do the Presidents of political parties actually do? Why don't political parties in Australia use political manifestos like they do in the UK? And are there tensions between pollies and public servants?

And later, PK and David Speers will bring you their hot takes from on the ground at Labor's national conference.

Patricia Karvelas and Fran Kelly answer your queries on The Party Room: Question Time edition.
