Episodes
  • Welcome To Albanese Country

    Welcome To Albanese Country
    May 9 2025
    In this extended episode, we analyse the historic 2025 federal election, where Anthony Albanese led the Labor Party to one of the most decisive victories in Australian political history – winning up to 92 seats, achieving a 3% swing, and securing 55% of the two-party-preferred vote. We explore how Labor broke new ground in metropolitan seats across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and beyond, while the Liberal Party collapsed under Peter Dutton’s disastrous leadership – becoming the first federal Opposition Leader to lose his seat. With a massive lower house majority and a favourable Senate, we discuss what Labor can do with its unprecedented political capital, the implications for progressive reform, and why this election marks not just a change of government, but a generational shift in Australian politics. We also assess the setbacks faced by the Australian Greens and the mixed results for community independents, the rise of the Muslim Vote, and what the future holds for a fractured conservative movement.

  • The Final Week: Dutton’s collapse, Albanese’s edge and Labor to win

    The Final Week: Dutton’s collapse, Albanese’s edge and Labor to win
    May 2 2025
    In the final week of the 2025 federal election campaign, we unpack Peter Dutton’s total campaign collapse, Anthony Albanese’s edge in the polls, and why a Labor victory now looks inevitable. From debate disasters and media blunders to desperate culture war tactics and vanishing credibility, we break down the major moments, analyse the role of independents and the Australian Greens, and predict the election result. It's been chaotic, it's been revealing – and it’s not looking good for the Coalition.

  • After four weeks of the campaign: Is it all over?

    After four weeks of the campaign: Is it all over?
    Apr 25 2025
    Week four of the federal election campaign shrank to three working days – bookended by Easter Monday and ANZAC Day – and was upended by the death of Pope Francis, briefly halting campaigns by Anthony Albanese and Peter Dutton. Nearly two million pre-poll votes now bank Labor’s incumbency edge while the Coalition flounders after three chaotic weeks. Dutton’s own mis-fires – touting a $21 billion defence splurge, scrapping the 20 per cent HECS discount, axing EV subsidies, and floating an antisemitism-focused citizenship test – clash with mortgage-stressed voters hearing nonstop “cost-of-living crisis” headlines despite inflation falling and wages rising. Fresh opinion polls put Labor ahead at around 54–46, leaving the only real question of whether there will be majority Labor government or minority backed by Teals and Greens, while climate, NDIS, housing and Gaza stay off the radar. #AUSPOL

Feels very biased.

I'm tired of activists posing as journalists, and have little patience for it. The following is filler designed to meet the requirements of an audible review.
