The campaign has been condemned across the political spectrum, reviving a slogan that was used against Australia's first female prime minister more than fifteen years ago. On today's podcast, we're breaking down who's behind it, what it means for Victorian politics, and what Julia Gillard had to say about the return of “Ditch the Witch”.
