  • We really need to talk about Zionism

    We really need to talk about Zionism
    Feb 21 2025
    In this episode, we examine the influence of Zionist groups in Australian media and politics, exposing how News Corporation and right-wing activists manipulate public sentiment and suppress criticism of Israel. A failed Daily Telegraph stunt at Cairo Takeaway in Sydney reveals the media’s role in fueling Islamophobia. We also discuss the suppression of pro-Palestinian voices in academia, the arts, and politics, and the broader threat to democracy. We then analyse the Reserve Bank’s interest rate cut and the media’s hypocritical response, as well as the controversial YouGov/MRP poll predicting a Peter Dutton-led government. With Labor facing messaging challenges and the Liberal Party struggling with economic coherence, will right-wing media continue to shape the narrative?

  • Managing Trump, not Closing the Gap, dirty election deals

    Managing Trump, not Closing the Gap, dirty election deals
    Feb 14 2025
    This episode examines Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s phone call to President Donald Trump over looming US steel and aluminium tariffs, the AUKUS agreement and its US$500 million payment, and the potential political fallout ahead of the federal election. It also explores the Closing the Gap report and the need for structural reform on Indigenous issues, the failed 2023 referendum, Victoria’s by-elections, and how the rise of independents might reshape the electoral landscape – culminating in a look at Albanese’s controversial deal with the Coalition on electoral funding reform and its broader implications for Australian politics.

  • The ABC of Peter Dutton and the sacking of a journalist

    The ABC of Peter Dutton and the sacking of a journalist
    Feb 7 2025
    We examine the return of Parliament in 2025, the government’s shelving of the Environmental Protection Agency, and stalled gambling advertising legislation that may never advance. There’s a lot of announcements but drawing parallels to Morrison-era inertia, we question whether the government is stuck rehashing old plans rather than delivering genuine reform, highlighting stalled measures like truth in advertising legislation. We then explore the Liberal Party’s push to revive business lunch tax deductions and whether this signals complacency or overreach. We also focus on the ABC’s disproportionate coverage of Peter Dutton and assess how this conservative tilt erodes public trust, and consider how the broadcaster might engage younger audiences. Finally, we address the Lattouf v ABC unfair dismissal case, illustrating how lobby groups are silencing journalists and threaten free expression.
