In this episode, we explore the media's exaggerated reports of a rift between Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Environment Minister Tanya Plibersekâa 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 Finally, we discuss why it's time to abandon outdated neoliberal economic policies and embrace a more equitable and sustainable future.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

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 Courtâs pursuit of accountability for Israelâs war crimes in Palestine. #auspol

We explore the proposed reforms to Australiaâs donation laws and ask: who really benefits from these changes? The climate wars rage on, with the latest battle centred on the governmentâs 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 Australiaâs political landscape. #auspol

We explore the governmentâs 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, thatâs when itâs going to held, and not likely to be before. #auspol #NoAgeBan

We analyze the aftermath of the US election, where Donald Trumpâs 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 Rinehartâs influence into federal politics, and the answer is probably âyesâ. 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

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 governmentâthis 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

Senator Lidia Thorpe confronts the king with her candid views on him and the royal familyâs role in colonisation and genocide, raising the question of whether itâs 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 isnât fit for government, then yes, it absolutely is. #auspol

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

We explore a turbulent week in Australian politics: the Prime Minister sought to commemorate the victims of the October 7 attacks in Israel and Palestine, but faced sharp criticism from opposition leader Peter Dutton, who continues to push a divisive, far-right agenda. We examine how the Israel-Palestine conflict has deeply impacted Australiaâs political landscape, with Labor trying to maintain balance, while the Liberal Party leans heavily in favour of Israel. We also look at the controversy surrounding NSW Premier Chris Minns response to pro-Palestinian protests, and the rise of a new political party, Australiaâs Voice, as Australians increasingly seek alternatives to the traditional two-party system. #auspol

The Labor government has delivered its second consecutive surplus, but not everyone is pleased. Meanwhile, the Queensland election campaign is in full swing, a new special envoy for combating Islamophobia has been appointed, though few seem to know who it is, and the politics of the middle east and national security are becoming a heated topic of discussion in Australia. #auspol

Interest rates are on hold, but the Australian Greens are calling on the government to take control of the Reserve Bank. Meanwhile, questions arise about potential changes to negative gearing, while Peter Dutton's nuclear fantasy roadshow continues to unfold. At the same time, the world is paying the price for failing to hold the Israeli government accountable. #auspol

The reforms to aged care, seemingly pulled straight from the neoliberal playbook, are based on a user-pay mentality, and itâs no wonder theyâre supported by the Liberal Party. So why are they supported by the Labor government? Meanwhile, a significant clash has been reignited over housing policy between the government and the Australian Greens, which has also triggered speculation about a double-dissolution election. And why is Australiaâs ABC so intent on promoting Donald Trump in the US election? #auspol

We explore the rising demands for a super-profits tax and a wealth tax â bring it on! â and question why the government continues to negotiate environmental policies with the Liberal Party, Australiaâs notorious environmental vandals. We also look at the latest developments in housing policy, as political players position themselves for the upcoming federal election. #auspol

In this episode, we explore the implications of the Country Liberal Party's recent victory in the Northern Territory and whether there are lessons for the federal government to heed. We also discuss Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's declining popularity in the polls â could it be due to his governmentâs shift to the right rather than the left? Plus, we question whether the opinions of Gina Rinehart and other super-wealthy individuals should really hold as much weight in public discourse. #auspol

In today's episode of New Politics, we ask the question: is Peter Dutton a racist or not? We put this claim to the test. Plus, we'll explore the Liberal Party's recent debacle in the NSW local council elections â what does their performance say about their competence? And we look at the art of compromise and negotiation: why is a Labor government striking deals with the Coalition on key legislation when they could be collaborating with the Australian Greens and independents? Also, Linda Burney signs off from politics. #auspol

Is the Makarrata Commission fading away, or is Anthony Albanese dodging past failures and facing up to political realities? As the terror threat level rises, are we facing real danger or is it more of the same political machinations that were played out by the Coalition? We also look the latest on interest rates and how this will frame the next federal election, governmentâs inaction on gambling advertising, and the drama surrounding the Linda Reynolds defamation case â is it malice, vindictiveness, or something deeper? She has definitely made the mistake of returning to the lionâs den to fetch her hat. Tune in for an unfiltered take on the politics that matter!

The cabinet reshuffle and what this means for the next election, the problems with the lack of action from the National Anti-Corruption Commission continue â is it time for Barnaby Joyce to leave politics for good?
