  • The End Of The Rules Based International Order
    In this episode, we examine the United States’ bombing of Iranian nuclear sites and Australia’s delayed yet predictable support, driven by hollow “alliance obligations” rhetoric. We unpack the media’s biased framing of “Iranian aggression”, the ABC’s platforming of compromised figures like Scott Morrison and Mike Pezzullo, and question whether Penny Wong has abandoned Australia’s national interest. We also probe the illusion of a “rules-based order”, bipartisan hypocrisy on AUKUS and Pine Gap, and the creeping complacency within Labor’s post-2025 majority. Plus, we cover Antoinette Lattouf’s Federal Court victory against the ABC and the continuing influence of the Israel lobby on Australian public discourse.Support New Politics, just $5 per month: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/newpoliticsSubstack: https://newpolitics.substack.com Song listing:‘Even Better Than The Real Thing’, A 440 VS U2 instrumental remix.‘Bohannon’, Fat Freddy’s Drop.‘Loose Fit’, Happy Mondays.

  • On The Eve Of Destruction
    In this explosive episode, we unpack the escalating Israel–Iran conflict, exposing the deadly airstrikes, retaliatory missile attacks, and the West’s ongoing hypocrisy around “the right to defend”. We challenge the double standards on nuclear weapons, dissect the real motives behind U.S. and Israeli aggression, and warn against another fabricated “weapons of mass destruction” crisis. Back in Australia, we analyse Anthony Albanese’s non-meeting with Donald Trump at the G7, the media’s “snub” narrative, and the Coalition’s opportunistic attacks. We also look at the federal intervention in the NSW Liberal Party after historic losses, and whether Labor’s economic reform agenda can survive sabotage from a wrecking-ball opposition.Support New Politics, just $5 per month: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/newpoliticsSubstack: https://newpolitics.substack.com Song listing:‘Even Better Than The Real Thing’, A 440 VS U2 instrumental remix.Hey!

  • The ghost of Morrison, Fascism USA, and political football in Tasmania
    In this episode, we unpack the shocking decision to award former Prime Minister Scott Morrison the Companion of the Order of Australia, despite his disastrous COVID-19 response, economic mismanagement, and culture war legacy – raising serious questions about the integrity of Australia’s honours system. We explore the deepening chaos in the US under Donald Trump, including the National Guard’s shooting of Australian journalist Lauren Tomasi, and ask whether it’s time for Australia to reassess its alliance with an increasingly unstable superpower. Back home, Anthony Albanese launches a productivity and economic growth summit amid calls for real reform, not recycled neoliberalism. We also cover Australia’s long-overdue sanctions on two far-right Israeli ministers, and the farcical state of Tasmanian politics as a billion-dollar AFL stadium sparks yet another snap election.Support New Politics, just $5 per month: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/newpoliticsSubstack: https://newpolitics.substack.com Song listing:‘Even Better Than The Real Thing’, A 440 VS U2 instrumental remix.‘Confessions Of A Window Cleaner’, Ed Kuepper.‘Dayvan Cowboy’, The Boards of Canada.‘State Of The World (AEIOU)’, Jim James.‘The Last Goodbye’, Odesza.

  • Welcome To Albanese Country
    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.Support New Politics!

  • The Final Week: Dutton’s collapse, Albanese’s edge and Labor to win
    In the final week of the 2025 federal election campaign, we unpack Peter Dutton’s total campaign collapse, Anthony Albanese’s edge in the polls, and why a Labor victory now looks inevitable. From debate disasters and media blunders to desperate culture war tactics and vanishing credibility, we break down the major moments, analyse the role of independents and the Australian Greens, and predict the election result. It's been chaotic, it's been revealing – and it’s not looking good for the Coalition.Support New Politics, just $5 per month: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/newpoliticsSubstack: https://newpolitics.substack.com Song listing:‘Good Stuff’, The B-52s.‘Confessions Of A Window Cleaner’, Ed Kuepper.‘State Of The Art (A.E.I.O.U.)’, Jim James.‘Won’t Get Fooled Again’, The Who (remix).‘The Last Goodbye’, Odesza. ‘Humiliation’, The National.
