  • 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.

  • After four weeks of the campaign: Is it all over?
    Week four of the federal election campaign shrank to three working days – bookended by Easter Monday and ANZAC Day – and was upended by the death of Pope Francis, briefly halting campaigns by Anthony Albanese and Peter Dutton. Nearly two million pre-poll votes now bank Labor’s incumbency edge while the Coalition flounders after three chaotic weeks. Dutton’s own mis-fires – touting a $21 billion defence splurge, scrapping the 20 per cent HECS discount, axing EV subsidies, and floating an antisemitism-focused citizenship test – clash with mortgage-stressed voters hearing nonstop “cost-of-living crisis” headlines despite inflation falling and wages rising. Fresh opinion polls put Labor ahead at around 54–46, leaving the only real question of whether there will be majority Labor government or minority backed by Teals and Greens, while climate, NDIS, housing and Gaza stay off the radar. #AUSPOLSupport New Politics, just $5 per week! Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/newpoliticsSubstack: https://newpolitics.substack.com Song listing:‘Good Stuff’, The B-52s.‘Godless’, The Dandy Warhols.‘Feels Right’, Biig Piig.‘Let Me Entertain You’, Robbie Williams.‘The Hard Road’, Hilltop Hoods.‘Humiliation’, The National.

  • Loose units and losing momentum: Dutton’s campaign continues to go downhill
    In this extended episode, we dissect week three of the 2025 federal election campaign, where Peter Dutton’s Coalition descends 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 dominate the headlines, opinion polls show the Coalition slipping further behind – raising serious questions about whether Dutton is fit to lead or if this election is already lost for the opposition.Support New Politics, just $5 per month: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/newpoliticsSubstack: https://newpolitics.substack.com Song listing:‘Good Stuff’, The B-52s.‘Mysterious Ways’, U2 (cover version by In Sympathy).‘La femme d’Argent, AIR.‘Wild’, Spoon.‘Humiliation’, The National.

  • Leaks, lies and sabotage: The Coalition’s second-week election meltdown
    We analyse the turbulent second week of the 2025 federal election campaign, where the Liberal–National Coalition’s strategy descended into chaos. The week’s headline issue – the Port of Darwin lease to a Chinese company – was rebranded by Peter Dutton as a national security crisis, only to be politically outplayed by Anthony Albanese, exposing the Coalition’s hypocrisy in approving the deal back in 2015. Behind the scenes, internal sabotage from the NSW Liberal division is threatening Dutton’s campaign, allegedly paving the way for Angus Taylor as a post-election leader. Meanwhile, the Coalition’s hasty withdrawal of its work-from-home policy reveals its lack of preparation and voter resonance, while the credibility of Kooyong candidate Amelia Hamer was shattered by revelations she owns multi-million-dollar properties despite claiming to be a struggling renter. Internationally, both major parties remain silent on Israel’s war crimes in Gaza – only the Greens and a few independents have called out the massacre of Palestinian aid workers – while Penny Wong and Albanese offer evasive platitudes. On the climate front, Albanese faced criticism for Labor’s approval of new coal and gas expansions, while Dutton made headlines for kicking a football into the head of an Iraqi–Australian cameraman – a moment symbolic of his broader political insensitivity. As polls continue to favour Labor, global instability, Trump-style economic chaos, and Coalition disunity threaten to derail the opposition’s chances.Support New Politics, just $5 per month!: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/newpoliticsSubstack: https://newpolitics.substack.com Song listing:‘Good Stuff’, The B-52s.‘Bonnie and Clyde’, Serge Gainsbourg (French Accent Remix)‘Familiar’, Agnes Obel.‘Wild’, Spoon.‘Bumper’, The Cannanes.‘Humiliation’, The National.
