About this listen

 In this bumper episode, we analysed 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 spoke with Ellie Smith, the Climate 200-backed independent challenging Dutton in Dickson, and explored how independents and minor parties will reshape the next Parliament. We examined 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 looked at the Coalition’s misleading claims on energy prices and its culture war against the education system. #AUSPOL #Election2025
