  Will David Shoebridge give Labor the boot?

  Oct 2, 202627 min

  Can David Shoebridge turn frustration with Labor into lasting support for the Australian Greens? In this episode, we examine how the Greens can rebuild after the 2025 federal election by connecting their policies to the cost-of-living crisis, affordable housing, cheaper electricity and stronger public services. With One Nation courting discontent from the right, can Shoebridge build a credible alternative from the left – and force the Albanese government to compete for progressive voters? #AusPol Subscribe to New Politics for weekly briefings and full analysis: www.newpolitics.com.au Support New Politics: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/newpolitics Substack: https://newpolitics.substack.com Song listing: ‘La Femme d’Argent’, AIR. ‘Sign O’ The Times’, Prince.

  The AI Medicare wake-up call

  Oct 1, 202624 min

  The OpenAI Medicare breach exposes a widening gap between artificial intelligence and corporate accountability. In this episode, we examine what unauthorised access to Australia’s Medicare statistics portal and delayed reporting reveal about AI safeguards, cybersecurity and government oversight. As the Albanese government balances investment pressures with public protection, the withdrawal of the proposed $1.2 billion Lane Cove data centre highlights concerns about community consultation, electricity and water use. From data sovereignty to AI regulation in Australia, who shapes our technological future – and who carries the costs when corporate promises fail? #AusPol Subscribe to New Politics for weekly briefings and full analysis: www.newpolitics.com.au Support New Politics: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/newpolitics Substack: https://newpolitics.substack.com Song listing: ‘La Femme d’Argent’, AIR.

  Australia wants a seat at the UN but what would it stand for?

  Sep 25, 202626 min

  Australia wants a UN Security Council seat in 2029–30, but what would it do with that influence? Anthony Albanese promises to defend international law, yet his government has declined to join proposed restrictions on goods from illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. Its calls for accountability over the killing of Australian aid worker Zomi Frankcom in Gaza have also delivered little. Australia showed after the 2014 MH17 disaster that a Security Council seat can be put to purpose, but we ask whether its actions on Palestine match its ambitions at the United Nations. #AusPol Subscribe to New Politics for weekly briefings and full analysis: www.newpolitics.com.au Support New Politics: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/newpolitics Substack: https://newpolitics.substack.com Song listing: ‘La Femme d’Argent’, AIR. ‘Sign O’ The Times’, Prince.

  What is ASIO really telling us about terror threats?

  Sep 24, 202627 min

  ASIO director-general Mike Burgess says the agency has disrupted 16 potential terror threats and four more serious plots since the Bondi Beach attack. But what does “disrupted” mean, and what did ASIO know before the Bondi attacks? In this episode of New Politics, we examine why a former informant’s claims about the Bondi attackers have been ignored, ASIO’s counterterrorism priorities, warnings about possible Iranian threats, the Dural caravan hoax and Burgess’s meeting with Israeli president Isaac Herzog. Intelligence work requires secrecy, but public trust also requires answers about decisions that affect Australia’s national security. #AustralianPolitics #AusPol #ASIO.

  Labor is becoming what it once condemned

  Sep 18, 202624 min

  The Albanese Labor government came to office promising integrity, transparency and accountability, but four years later those standards are being tested by allegations of pork-barrelling, politically targeted grants and questionable corporate benefits. A $560 million infrastructure program heavily favouring Labor-held electorates, a $6 million grant to Marrickville Golf Club in Anthony Albanese’s electorate, and Transport Minister Catherine King’s lifetime Qantas Platinum membership raise a fundamental question: is Labor applying the same standards to itself that it demanded of the Morrison government? At the same time, changes to the NDIS are being justified through the familiar language of sustainability and value for money, while billions more flow into defence, missile systems and the expanding cost of AUKUS. #AustralianPolitics #AusPol #Labor #AnthonyAlbanese #PorkBarrelling #PoliticalIntegrity #NDIS #AUKUS #NewPolitics.
