About this listen

 In this bumper episode, we analyse the first week of the 2025 federal election campaign, covering rising tensions over Chinese research vessels and national security scare campaigns, Dutton’s Kirribilli House gaffe, and the resurgence of Cold War-era rhetoric, and Prime Minister Albanese’s responses. We speak with Ellie Smith, the Climate 200-backed independent challenging Dutton in Dickson, and explore how independents and minor parties will reshape the next Parliament. We examine the political fallout from new US tariffs on Australian imports, the media’s obsession with whether voters are ‘better off than three years ago’, and break down the Coalition’s misleading claims on energy prices and its culture war against the education system. With opinion polls showing a continued drift away from the Coalition and support for Anthony Albanese holding strong, this episode delivers sharp analysis, political insight, and the straight talk the mainstream media won’t offer.
