We explore the government’s controversial plan to target under-16s with a social media ban, explore the continued media manipulation surrounding Israel, and examine why football violence seems to receive a troubling level of acceptance when perpetrated by racist Israeli football hooligans. Meanwhile, the mainstream media stirs up excitement over an early election that, in reality, shows no signs of materialising. May 2025, that’s when it’s going to held, and not likely to be before. #auspol #NoAgeBan

We analyze the aftermath of the US election, where Donald Trump’s victory signals the return of the conman, criminal and clown show. Vote Dutton, Get Rinehart? We ask if voting for Peter Dutton is bringing Gina Rinehart’s influence into federal politics, and the answer is probably “yes”. We also cover the current state of the economy, proposed changes to HECS debt policies, and the continued shortcomings of the National Anti-Corruption Commission, which has yet to meet public expectations. #auspol

In this episode, we analyze the results of the Queensland election and uncover who the real losers are, as the media moves to yet another issue to target the federal Labor government—this time, over alleged flight upgrades. We also discuss the release of the Covid-19 Report, which reveals the severe mismanagement of the pandemic response by the previous Coalition government, and we look at the approaching U.S. election, examining it as a reflection of an empire in decline. #auspol

Senator Lidia Thorpe confronts the king with her candid views on him and the royal family’s role in colonisation and genocide, raising the question of whether it’s time to reignite the debate about Australia becoming a republic and create a long overdue Treaty with Indigenous people. Meanwhile, the community-backed teal independent movement continues to grow at the expense of the Liberal Party, but Labor cannot afford to be complacent. Is 27 years in office good for democracy? If the Liberal Party isn’t fit for government, then yes, it absolutely is. #auspol

The National Anti-Corruption Commission has failed to do its job once again, this time finding no corruption in the Paladin affair. Meanwhile, one year after the defeat of the Voice to Parliament referendum, the issue of Indigenous recognition remains stalled. Upcoming elections in the ACT and Queensland are shaping up as potential litmus tests for the federal election, and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is facing increasing political scrutiny over the recent purchase of a $4.3 million house in Copacabana during a national housing affordability crisis. #auspol

We explore a turbulent week in Australian politics: the Prime Minister sought to commemorate the victims of the October 7 attacks in Israel and Palestine, but faced sharp criticism from opposition leader Peter Dutton, who continues to push a divisive, far-right agenda. We examine how the Israel-Palestine conflict has deeply impacted Australia’s political landscape, with Labor trying to maintain balance, while the Liberal Party leans heavily in favour of Israel. We also look at the controversy surrounding NSW Premier Chris Minns response to pro-Palestinian protests, and the rise of a new political party, Australia’s Voice, as Australians increasingly seek alternatives to the traditional two-party system. #auspol

The Labor government has delivered its second consecutive surplus, but not everyone is pleased. Meanwhile, the Queensland election campaign is in full swing, a new special envoy for combating Islamophobia has been appointed, though few seem to know who it is, and the politics of the middle east and national security are becoming a heated topic of discussion in Australia. #auspol

Interest rates are on hold, but the Australian Greens are calling on the government to take control of the Reserve Bank. Meanwhile, questions arise about potential changes to negative gearing, while Peter Dutton's nuclear fantasy roadshow continues to unfold. At the same time, the world is paying the price for failing to hold the Israeli government accountable. #auspol

The reforms to aged care, seemingly pulled straight from the neoliberal playbook, are based on a user-pay mentality, and it’s no wonder they’re supported by the Liberal Party. So why are they supported by the Labor government? Meanwhile, a significant clash has been reignited over housing policy between the government and the Australian Greens, which has also triggered speculation about a double-dissolution election. And why is Australia’s ABC so intent on promoting Donald Trump in the US election? #auspol

We explore the rising demands for a super-profits tax and a wealth tax – bring it on! – and question why the government continues to negotiate environmental policies with the Liberal Party, Australia’s notorious environmental vandals.

In this episode, we explore the implications of the Country Liberal Party's recent victory in the Northern Territory and whether there are lessons for the federal government to heed. We also discuss Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's declining popularity in the polls – could it be due to his government’s shift to the right rather than the left? Plus, we question whether the opinions of Gina Rinehart and other super-wealthy individuals should really hold as much weight in public discourse. #auspol

In today's episode of New Politics, we ask the question: is Peter Dutton a racist or not? We put this claim to the test. Plus, we'll explore the Liberal Party's recent debacle in the NSW local council elections – what does their performance say about their competence? And we look at the art of compromise and negotiation: why is a Labor government striking deals with the Coalition on key legislation when they could be collaborating with the Australian Greens and independents? Also, Linda Burney signs off from politics. #auspol

In this episode, we explore the AUKUS deal, surely one of worst deals in Australian history, the government's support for the media's reliance on gambling revenue for survival, the ongoing search for accountability for the Robodebt disaster, the reasons behind Labor's persistent silence on the genocide in Gaza, and a dissection of the latest opinion polls.

Is the Makarrata Commission fading away, or is Anthony Albanese dodging past failures and facing up to political realities? As the terror threat level rises, are we facing real danger or is it more of the same political machinations that were played out by the Coalition? We also look the latest on interest rates and how this will frame the next federal election, government’s inaction on gambling advertising, and the drama surrounding the Linda Reynolds defamation case – is it malice, vindictiveness, or something deeper? She has definitely made the mistake of returning to the lion’s den to fetch her hat. Tune in for an unfiltered take on the politics that matter!

The cabinet reshuffle and what this means for the next election, the problems with the lack of action from the National Anti-Corruption Commission continue – is it time for Barnaby Joyce to leave politics for good?

Deep-fakes and AI are making an entrance into Australian politics, and there's a Cabinet reshuffle on the horizon. The International Court of Justice has ruled that the occupation by a certain country in the Middle East is illegal, prompting questions about how the federal government will respond. And why is the Australian media is so obsessed with American politics?

In this week's episode of New Politics, we analyse the attempted assassination of US presidential candidate Donald Trump. This surreal event, with a lone shooter on a rooftop at a Trump rally, has sparked a whirlwind of conspiracy theories and highlighted significant lapses in Secret Service protocols. We discuss the political fallout, including Trump's dramatic appearance at the Republican Convention with a conspicuous bandage, and draw comparisons to historical events like the Reichstag fire of 1933.
We also explore reactions from global leaders, including Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, and the broader implications for American democracy. We examine how Trump's frequent public lies since 2015 have eroded trust, leading many to question the authenticity of this assassination attempt. Is it also time to reassess the US–Australia alliance and how the alliance affects Australian politics?
We then focus on the declining respect for political processes in Australia, as highlighted by a recent Essential poll. With dissatisfaction levels reaching nearly 50 per cent, we discuss the persistent problems within the political system, the lack of incentive for change, and potential solutions such mixed-member and proportional representation.
There are allegations corruption within the CMFEU, and we explore the media's portrayal of these issues, and the political ramifications for the Labor Party. We also analyse the latest Resolve Poll, which presents a challenging outlook for Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and the Labor government. With a significant drop in primary votes and Peter Dutton emerging as the preferred prime minister, we discuss the electorate's shifting priorities and the impact of recent political events.
Finally, we look at the upcoming royal visit by King Charles and Queen Camilla and speculate on the potential discussions about Australia moving towards becoming a republic and the broader significance of their visit.

This week on New Politics – one of the best podcasts on Australian politics – we look at the troubling rise of Islamophobia in Australian media, sparked by opposition leader Peter Dutton's comments linking minority government, the teals, Australian Greens, and Muslims. Following Senator Fatima Payman's resignation from the Labor Party to sit as an independent, mainstream media outlets including Seven West Media, Nine Media, Network 10, and ABC have engaged in thinly veiled racist analysis, while News Corporation has been more blatant in its attacks. Notably, Andrew Bolt has claimed that Australia's safety is compromised by Muslims, further stoking fear and prejudice.
Our discussion focuses on the persistent failure of Australian politics and media to embrace the country's diversity. Despite having the most diverse federal parliament elected in 2022, both the political system and media lag behind in representing the true multicultural reality of Australia. We critique the mainstream media's tendency to exploit anti-Islam sentiment, illustrating a broader reluctance to accept diversity in politics and media.
We also explore the emergence of The Muslim Vote, a new group aiming to educate and mobilise voters around issues related to the Middle East. This movement draws parallels with Climate 200 and has already provoked mainstream media outcry, highlighting the double standards in Australian politics where certain religions are deemed acceptable while Islam faces constant scrutiny.
As we navigate the complex interplay between religion and politics, we question why some forms of religious influence are tolerated while others are demonised. The appointment of a special envoy to combat antisemitism by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, contrasted with the lack of similar attention to Islamophobia, exemplifies these double standards.
Lastly, we consider the leadership of Peter Dutton and the potential impact of his divisive tactics on the upcoming election. While his hardline stance on issues like nuclear energy and Islam might appeal to certain factions, it risks further alienating the broader electorate.
Join us as we unpack these critical issues, challenge the status quo, and advocate for a more inclusive and representative political landscape in Australia.

Welcome to New Politics, as we unravel the intricate nature of global and national politics, reflecting on how the past shapes our present and future and deliver insightful analyses and expert commentary that keeps you informed and engaged.
In this episode, we explore the unfolding drama within Labor Party, highlighting the controversial suspension and subsequent resignation of Senator Fatima Payman. Her departure raises critical questions about party policies, internal democracy, and the broader implications for representation of diverse communities in politics. We look at her stance on Gaza, and the repercussions of crossing the floor to support a motion by the Australian Greens. Why should a Labor politician remain a member of Caucus if they refuse to follow the actions they supported when they were in opposition?
We look the educational funding strategies under the current Labor government, critiquing the increasing financial support for private schools at the expense of public ones. This discussion opens up a broader conversation about the values and priorities of modern Labor policies and their impact on Australia’s educational landscape.
Crossing continents, we analyse the recent UK election, where the Labour Party’s massive victory under Keir Starmer signals a new direction for Britain post-Brexit: he doesn’t have a choice. We discuss the historical parallels and the strategic silence that might have contributed to their win, alongside a forecast of potential policies and international stances.
We also look at the broader spectrum of international politics, including the rise of far-right movements in Europe, particularly in France, and significant judicial decisions in the United States that could redefine the scope of presidential powers and the 2024 US election.
Join us on New Politics as we navigate the complexities of these issues, offering a platform for critical thought, diverse perspectives, and a pulse on the shifts that shape our world.
