About this listen

 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.
