Episode description

In this episode of the New Politics podcast, we unpack the continuing fallout from the 2025 Australian federal election, exploring the fractured two-party system, the Coalition’s deep divisions over energy, climate, and regional issues, and the Liberal Party’s existential crisis—echoing the 1943 collapse of the United Australia Party. We debate whether Labor can use its strong mandate for bold reform or if cautious politics will hold them back, with insights from National Campaign Manager Paul Erikson. We also examine Prime Minister Albanese’s strong condemnation of Israel’s Gaza blockade, the growing momentum for change in Australia’s Palestine policy, and the influence of the Israel lobby in shaping political debate. Don’t miss this essential analysis of the big issues shaping Australia’s political future.
