15 MAG 2026 · The shock result in the Farrer byelection has exposed a deep crisis inside Australian conservatism, with One Nation winning its first ever federal lower-house seat as the Liberal Party’s vote collapsed from 43 per cent to just 12 per cent in barely a year. We examine the growing backlash against the Liberal and National parties across regional Australia, the long-term rise of Pauline Hanson and One Nation, and how housing stress, stagnant wages, culture wars and political disillusionment are reshaping Australian politics. As conservative voters abandon the Coalition in growing numbers, we discuss whether the biggest threat to the Liberal Party now comes not from Labor, but from the forces emerging inside its own fractured political base. #AUSPOL

Labor’s 2026 federal Budget has sparked fierce backlash from conservative commentators, with critics labelling it everything from a “Whitlam budget” to “Marxism” after modest reforms to negative gearing and capital gains tax. We examine Australia’s worsening housing affordability crisis, the political legacy of the 2019 election scare campaign, and why Labor remains caught between addressing inequality and preserving the neoliberal economic system that has dominated Australian politics for decades. Plus, we unpack the contradictions in the Budget itself – including limited cost-of-living relief, NDIS cuts, defence spending, mining profits, corporate tax concessions, and the Liberal Party’s response led by Angus Taylor – as Australia’s political debate shifts in ways the conservative establishment increasingly struggles to contain. #AUSPOL #Budget2026

In this episode, we examine the interim findings of the Royal Commission into Antisemitism and Social Cohesion following the Bondi Beach attacks, exploring major questions surrounding ASIO, the Australian Federal Police and intelligence failures in Australia. We discuss allegations that the Bondi attackers had been monitored by ASIO since 2019, the parallels with the 2014 Lindt Café siege, and growing concerns about national security secrecy, surveillance powers, democratic accountability and civil liberties. We also analyse whether the Royal Commission’s focus on antisemitism and social cohesion risks shifting attention away from deeper institutional failures, while examining the broader debate around protest rights, free speech, pro-Palestine activism and the balance between security and democracy in Australian politics. #AUSPOL

In this episode, we examine the latest incident involving Donald Trump, framed as an assassination attempt but unfolding in an era of “fake news”, disinformation and collapsing public trust, where conspiracy theories and official narratives blur into one. We explore how Trump’s crisis-driven political strategy weaponises chaos, using events to attack Democrats and justify controversial policies, including a $400 million White House ballroom project raising concerns about surveillance and executive power, while placing this within the broader context of aggressive US foreign policy. We also analyse the global fallout, from rising tensions within NATO to growing uncertainty around AUKUS, highlighted by the high-stakes White House visit of King Charles III. As the United States approaches key midterm elections, we ask whether constant political instability, voter fatigue and the normalisation of chaos will push American democracy toward a breaking point. #AUSPOL

30 APR 2026 · Subscribe to New Politics for weekly briefings and full analysis: http://www.newpolitics.com.au This week, we discuss the growing Anzac Day culture war in Australia, from booing at Dawn Services and Welcome to Country ceremonies to the rising influence of right-wing groups like Advance Australia and Fight for Australia, and ask how a solemn commemoration of the 8,700 Australians who died at Gallipoli has been reshaped into a platform for right-wing political messaging, identity politics and nationalist rhetoric. We examine the role of Gina Rinehart and the impact of media power, political donations and organisations such as the Institute of Public Affairs, the Liberal Party and One Nation in redefining Anzac Day, while contrasting this with the working-class origins of the original Anzacs and the often-overlooked service of more than 1,300 Indigenous Australians in World War I. As Anzac Day becomes increasingly politicised and resistant to criticism, we explore whether it can remain a respectful national day of remembrance or if it has been captured by ideological interests shaping Australia’s political and cultural debate. #AUSPOL

Today on the New Politics podcast, we examine Australia’s stalled debate over a 25% gas export tax and why major tax reform continues to be blocked despite strong economic evidence and growing public support, with many experts warning the nation is getting a poor return on its natural resources. A gas export tax could raise around $20 billion a year to fund health, education, the NDIS, housing and essential public services, yet remains politically sidelined due to the influence of the gas lobby and entrenched vested interests. We explore the ongoing failure to deliver structural reform, including hesitation around negative gearing, and assess whether the Albanese government has the political will to act ahead of the federal Budget, or if Australia will once again miss its chance to secure a fairer tax system and ensure Australians benefit from their own resources. #AUSPOL

This week on the New Politics podcast, we examine Australia’s escalating crackdown on protest rights after arrests in Brisbane over the phrase “from the river to the sea,” raising serious concerns about free speech, anti-protest laws, and democratic freedoms. We explore how legislation in Queensland and New South Wales is targeting pro-Palestine activism, the role of political figures like David Crisafulli and Chris Minns, and why unconstitutional laws are being struck down by the courts. We also connect these issues to rising defence spending, the $368 billion AUKUS deal, cuts to the NDIS, and Australia’s deepening alignment with US foreign policy, highlighting growing questions about sovereignty, accountability, and national priorities.

17 APR 2026 · Populism in Australian politics is usually framed as a right-wing force led by figures like Pauline Hanson and Barnaby Joyce, but this episode explores the potential of left-wing populism and the role of the Australian Greens. We unpack populism as a political strategy used across the spectrum – from Bernie Sanders to Hugo Chávez – and examine the divide between right-wing identity politics and left-wing economic reform focused on inequality, housing affordability, wages and corporate power. As conservative voices dominate mainstream media, we ask why progressive ideas remain marginalised despite broad public support, and whether the Greens’ shift under Max Chandler-Mather signals a more assertive, pro-worker strategy ahead of the next federal election. #AUSPOL

16 APR 2026 · Australia’s immigration debate is entering dangerous territory, with the Coalition’s proposed “values-based” migration system – featuring social media surveillance and ideological vetting – highlighting a shift towards right-wing populism, culture wars and the Trumpification of Australian politics.
Angus Taylor and the Liberal Party are moving away from economic management and towards nationalism and divisive immigration rhetoric, despite these strategies being rejected at the 2025 federal election, and this mirrors global conservative trends from Donald Trump in the US to Reform UK and Viktor Orbán in Hungary. We explore the risks to civil liberties, freedom of speech and political bias, question who defines “Australian values” in a multicultural society, and look at the targeting of Muslim communities, pro-Palestinian voices and non-European migrants.
With analysis of recent election results, including the South Australian election, we assess whether attempts to outflank One Nation will only legitimise fringe politics and split the conservative vote, arguing that voters are increasingly rejecting fear-driven narratives in favour of real economic and social solutions. #AUSPOL

10 APR 2026 · The arrest of Ben Roberts-Smith on five counts of alleged war crimes has reignited a fierce debate in Australian politics over military accountability, the rule of law and the legacy of the Afghanistan war. We look at the political, legal and cultural fallout, as reactions from Pauline Hanson, Gina Rinehart and Kerry Stokes expose deep divisions in how Australia understands war, justice and national identity. With millions spent on his defence and a media narrative shaped by nationalism and the Anzac legend, we examine whether the country is willing to confront allegations of civilian murders, the case of whistleblower David McBride and the broader questions around transparency, accountability and whether exposing wrongdoing is being punished more harshly than the alleged crimes themselves.
