I am joined in the studio by Sunshine Coast MLA Nicholas Simons for this week's episode of "What's Up Down in Victoria" and then by Carolina Pena Navarro for an update of last weekend's Quintessence Breast Feeding Challenge.
Plus, great music from Budokan, Little Pharmer & the Ditch Prescription, Hank 'n Lily, Ladyhawk, Japandroids, The Shins and more.
