Crossbench episodes

Where this person left a caucus for the crossbench and later joined a party, the two legs are shown as one sequence. The sequence is the story: what separates a member who went to the crossbench, faced the voters and then sat under a new banner from one who joined another caucus without the voters being asked is what happened between these two dates.
