About this listen
Van Badham and Ben Davison deliver an unmissable post-election edition of The Week on Wednesday, unpacking one of the most extraordinary federal election results in Australian history. With Anthony Albanese securing Labor’s biggest win since WWII, defeating not just Peter Dutton but also Greens leader Adam Bandt, Van and Ben bring deep analysis, biting wit, and raw insight into:
- What led to Labor’s sweeping mandate - Why the Coalition suffered such a brutal collapse - The spectacular fall of the Greens’ lower house ambitions - How union campaigning and party discipline shaped the outcome - The Trump effect—and how Australian voters emphatically rejected it - The nuclear fantasy and the cost of out-of-touch ideology - Why the "parliament of independents" myth finally imploded
Their signature candid discussion takes on democratic responsibility political fantasy and hope hope hope, this episode is a must-listen for anyone who cares about where Australia is headed next.
