About this listen

 In this extended episode, we dissected week three of the 2025 federal election campaign, where Peter Dutton’s Coalition descended further into chaos – facing a credibility crisis driven by misinformation, fear campaigns about Russia, China and Indonesia, and a housing stunt involving his own son. While Anthony Albanese and Labor’s upbeat campaign launch in Perth focused on economic progress, the Liberals doubled down on culture wars and cuts. As housing affordability, foreign policy blunders, and leadership failures dominated the headlines, opinion polls showed the Coalition slipping further behind – raising serious questions about whether Dutton was fit to lead or if this election was already lost for the opposition. #AUSPOL #Election2025
