About this listen

 In this episode, we break down a big week in Australian politics – from Anthony Albanese’s strategic reset of Australia–China relations through diplomacy and trade, to the Coalition’s continued Cold War-style fearmongering and media hysteria over Taiwan. We examine the fallout from the Jillian Segal anti-Semitism report, which critics argue could suppress dissent on Israel and erode democratic freedoms, and question its links to right-wing lobby groups. We also explore Australia’s continuing housing crisis, with leaked Treasury figures revealing a likely shortfall of up to 460,000 homes by 2030, and ask whether modular, high-density living can shift the culture of oversized McMansions. Plus, with Tasmania heading to the polls amid chaos, independents on the rise, and major parties refusing alliances, is this the future of post-major-party politics in Australia?
