About this listen

 In this episode, we speak with Jordan Van Den Lamb (Purple Pingers), Victorian Socialists Senate candidate and founder of shitrentals.org, about housing affordability. We also look at the upcoming federal budget and the media's selective portrayal of budget deficits, often negative under Labor but positive under Liberal governments. We then explore the ongoing debates surrounding Australia's controversial AUKUS agreement amid instability from Donald Trump’s second presidency, and assess Coalition leader Peter Dutton’s alignment with Trumpist MAGA ideology. The Coalition's recent dog-whistle politics – including a referendum that nobody wants – has in internal panic ahead of the federal election, and it’s well deserved: the Liberal Party is falling apart at the seams. Finally, and we review recent opinion polls showing improving prospects for Prime Minister Albanese and the Labor government.
