×In this episode, we question whether Australia should remain aligned with an increasingly unpredictable United States and explore how this sudden shift in American foreign policy, after years of condemning Russian aggression, is forcing Australia to reconsider its security ties under ANZUS and the AUKUS agreement. We also explore the domestic fallout from AUKUS, including the lack of public transparency and the precedent of spending billions on cancelled defence deals and examine the media’s overhyped fears of China compared to a US displaying fascist tendencies. We highlight the global rise of right-wing populism and question how progressive parties can counter this wave of extremism. Locally, we scrutinise Peter Dutton’s record, the government’s proposed Medicare boosts, and the Coalition’s matching promises, assessing whether centrist parties’ caution could pave the way for reactionary leaders in the next federal election. Finally, we consider how Labor’s anticipated victory in the upcoming Western Australia election might influence Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s timing for a national poll.

In this episode, we examine the influence of Zionist groups in Australian media and politics, exposing how News Corporation and right-wing activists manipulate public sentiment and suppress criticism of Israel. A failed Daily Telegraph stunt at Cairo Takeaway in Sydney reveals the media’s role in fueling Islamophobia. We also discuss the suppression of pro-Palestinian voices in academia, the arts, and politics, and the broader threat to democracy. We then analyse the Reserve Bank’s interest rate cut and the media’s hypocritical response, as well as the controversial YouGov/MRP poll predicting a Peter Dutton-led government. With Labor facing messaging challenges and the Liberal Party struggling with economic coherence, will right-wing media continue to shape the narrative?

This episode examines Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s phone call to President Donald Trump over looming US steel and aluminium tariffs, the AUKUS agreement and its US$500 million payment, and the potential political fallout ahead of the federal election. It also explores the Closing the Gap report and the need for structural reform on Indigenous issues, the failed 2023 referendum, Victoria’s by-elections, and how the rise of independents might reshape the electoral landscape – culminating in a look at Albanese’s controversial deal with the Coalition on electoral funding reform and its broader implications for Australian politics.

We examine the return of Parliament in 2025, the government’s shelving of the Environmental Protection Agency, and stalled gambling advertising legislation that may never advance. There’s a lot of announcements but drawing parallels to Morrison-era inertia, we question whether the government is stuck rehashing old plans rather than delivering genuine reform, highlighting stalled measures like truth in advertising legislation. We then explore the Liberal Party’s push to revive business lunch tax deductions and whether this signals complacency or overreach. We also focus on the ABC’s disproportionate coverage of Peter Dutton and assess how this conservative tilt erodes public trust, and consider how the broadcaster might engage younger audiences. Finally, we address the Lattouf v ABC unfair dismissal case, illustrating how lobby groups are silencing journalists and threaten free expression.

In this first New Politics podcast episode of 2025, we examine conservative calls to celebrate Australia Day (Invasion Day) despite widespread ambivalence, Sussan Ley’s bizarre comparison of the First Fleet to an Elon Musk Mars mission, and highlight Grace Tame’s “Fuck Murdoch” T-shirt controversy. We also look at the start of Donald Trump’s second term – marked by grandiose threats to seize the Panama Canal, claim Greenland, and renaming the Gulf of Mexico – as well as the Albanese government’s cautious response to Trump-like tactics from the Liberal and National parties. Finally, we discuss the fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, questioning whether a sustainable peace is achievable amidst ongoing political strife, global struggles over narrative control, and human rights concerns.

In this episode of New Politics, we explore the key issues that will shape Australia’s 2025 federal election, from economic challenges and leadership struggles to the growing influence of independents. As Anthony Albanese and Peter Dutton prepare for a high-stakes battle, we analyse their strategies, the shifting political landscape, and what it all means for the nation’s future. #auspol Support New Politics: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/newpolitics Substack: https://newpolitics.substack.com Song listing: ‘Good Stuff’, The B-52s. ‘Feels Right’, Biig Piig. ‘Humiliation’, The National.…
In this episode, we explore the key issues that shaped Australian federal politics throughout 2024, examining the highs and lows, the moments that truly mattered, and those that didn’t. The state of the economy, the role of the media, the ongoing housing crisis, the conflict in Palestine, Indigenous affairs, and the performances of political leaders Anthony Albanese and Peter Dutton.

In this episode, we explore the media's exaggerated reports of a rift between Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek—a conflict that appears more fiction than fact that was triggered by yet another failed approach to the environment. We look at the Australian Greens' proposal for a progressive alliance with the Labor Party, a move that has sparked dissatisfaction within Labor ranks. Meanwhile, the Liberal Party's efforts to win back voters from the teal independents take a confrontational turn, with tactics that risk alienating the electorate even further. Finally, we discuss why it's time to abandon outdated neoliberal economic policies and embrace a more equitable and sustainable future. #auspol Support New Politics: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/newpolitics Substack: https://newpolitics.substack.com Song listing: ‘Good Stuff’, The B-52s. ‘Confessions Of A Window Cleaner’, Ed Kuepper. ‘Dope Lemon’, Stonecutters. ‘Wild’, Spoon. ‘Dayvan Cowboy’, The Boards Of Canada. ‘Humiliation’, The National.…
We explore whether the Australian Greens have learned some tough political lessons on housing policy, reflect on the conclusion of the federal parliamentary year with many critical issues still unresolved, and look at the International Criminal Court’s pursuit of accountability for Israel’s war crimes in Palestine. #auspol Support New Politics: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/newpolitics Substack: https://newpolitics.substack.com Song listing: ‘Good Stuff’, The B-52s. ‘Whisper’, Coldplay. ‘Humiliation’, The National.…
We explore the proposed reforms to Australia’s donation laws and ask: who really benefits from these changes? The climate wars rage on, with the latest battle centred on the government’s delayed 2035 emissions reduction targets. Meanwhile, the Albanese government attempts to outflank the Liberal Party with increasingly hardline policies on immigration and asylum seekers. And, the Senate equates a political protest against the King with acts of homophobia, racism, and bigotry, raising critical questions about fairness and media bias in Australia’s political landscape. #auspol Support New Politics: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/newpolitics Substack: https://newpolitics.substack.com Song listing: ‘Good Stuff’, The B-52s. ‘She’s My Lover (A Song For R.)’, Kid Loco. ‘Short Change Hero’, The Heavy. ‘Nice To Meet Ya’, Niall Horan. ‘Pretty Vacant’, Sofia (cover version). ‘Humiliation’, The National.…
We explore the government’s controversial plan to target under-16s with a social media ban, explore the continued media manipulation surrounding Israel, and examine why football violence seems to receive a troubling level of acceptance when perpetrated by racist Israeli football hooligans. Meanwhile, the mainstream media stirs up excitement over an early election that, in reality, shows no signs of materialising. May 2025, that’s when it’s going to held, and not likely to be before. #auspol #NoAgeBan Support New Politics: https://www.patreon.com/newpolitics Song listing: ‘Humiliation’, The National. ‘Trouble’, Vox Noir. ‘Brasil’, Bellaire.…
We analyze the aftermath of the US election, where Donald Trump’s victory signals the return of the conman, criminal and clown show. Vote Dutton, Get Rinehart? We ask if voting for Peter Dutton is bringing Gina Rinehart’s influence into federal politics, and the answer is probably “yes”. We also cover the current state of the economy, proposed changes to HECS debt policies, and the continued shortcomings of the National Anti-Corruption Commission, which has yet to meet public expectations. #auspol Support New Politics: @ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/newpolitics @ Substack: https://newpolitics.substack.com Song listing: ‘All Along The Watchtower’, Afterhere (Bob Dylan cover). ‘Lose Fit’, Happy Mondays. ‘Swing For The Crime”, Ed Kuepper. ‘The Last Goodbye’, Odesza. ‘Won’t Get Fooled Again’, The Who (remix).…
In this episode, we analyze the results of the Queensland election and uncover who the real losers are, as the media moves to yet another issue to target the federal Labor government—this time, over alleged flight upgrades. We also discuss the release of the Covid-19 Report, which reveals the severe mismanagement of the pandemic response by the previous Coalition government, and we look at the approaching U.S. election, examining it as a reflection of an empire in decline. #auspol Support New Politics: https://www.patreon.com/newpolitics Song listing: ‘The Message’, Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five. ‘Back In The USSR’, The Beatles (Kaktux Rock Da House remix). ‘Stranger In Moscow’, Tame Impala. ‘Wild”, Spoon. ‘Release The Pressure’, Leftism.…
Senator Lidia Thorpe confronts the king with her candid views on him and the royal family’s role in colonisation and genocide, raising the question of whether it’s time to reignite the debate about Australia becoming a republic and create a long overdue Treaty with Indigenous people. Meanwhile, the community-backed teal independent movement continues to grow at the expense of the Liberal Party, but Labor cannot afford to be complacent. Is 27 years in office good for democracy? If the Liberal Party isn’t fit for government, then yes, it absolutely is. #auspol Support New Politics: https://www.patreon.com/newpolitics Song listing: ‘The Message’, Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five. ‘Treaty’, Mitchell Cullen (Yothu Yindi). ‘Atomic Moog 2000’, Cold Cut. ‘Spitfire’, Public Service Broadcasting. ‘Release The Pressure’, Leftism.…
The National Anti-Corruption Commission has failed to do its job once again, this time finding no corruption in the Paladin affair. Meanwhile, one year after the defeat of the Voice to Parliament referendum, the issue of Indigenous recognition remains stalled. Upcoming elections in the ACT and Queensland are shaping up as potential litmus tests for the federal election, and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is facing increasing political scrutiny over the recent purchase of a $4.3 million house in Copacabana during a national housing affordability crisis. #auspol Support New Politics: https://www.patreon.com/newpolitics Song listing: ‘The Message’, Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five. ‘Bagi-la-m Bargan’, Birdz. ‘Everything’s Gone Green’, New Order. ‘Hard Road’, The Hilltop Hoods. ‘Release The Pressure’, Leftism.…
