Welcome to the second of The Conversation's Election 2013 podcasts.

Each week The Conversation will be sitting down with Australia's top political minds to discuss all things election as we gear up for the big day on September 7.

This week, we examine the role played by the Greens in the campaign, what we learn when politicians “stuff up”, and the absence of gender issues so far with Jill Singer, lecturer in journalism at RMIT, and Geoffrey Robinson, senior lecturer in the school of humanities and social sciences at Deakin University.

We hope you enjoy.
