Donald Trump has extended the ceasefire with Iran, but what happens now? 
Ambassador John Bolton was the President's national security adviser during his first term of office.
He joined David Speers for this week's Insiders: On Background.

In a very special Question Time edition of The Party Room, Chief Elections and Data Analyst Casey Briggs joins PK to get stuck into all of your wonderfully nerdy questions.
Including, what does the preparation for election night look like behind the scenes? Why is Queensland the only state without an Upper House/Senate? Are Gen Z men still leaning left? And is expanding the size of parliament a good idea?

As the leaves on the parliamentary budget tree change colour, Labor has unveiled an enormous NDIS overhaul — promising major savings in the upcoming budget.
