The Assembly Season 2

The groundbreaking series returns as a new cohort of neurodiverse journalism students from Macquarie University step into the spotlight – training under legendary journalist Leigh Sales before sitting down with some of Australia’s most influential and elusive public figures.

With empathy, insight, and a fearlessness most seasoned reporters lack, the students ask the questions others won’t. Season 2 deepens the show’s commitment to diversity and inclusion, offering powerful interviews and unfiltered conversations that challenge conventional thinking around disability, power, and the role of the media in modern Australia.
