In today's episode of New Politics, we ask the question: is Peter Dutton a racist or not? We put this claim to the test. Plus, we'll explore the Liberal Party's recent debacle in the NSW local council elections – what does their performance say about their competence? And we look at the art of compromise and negotiation: why is a Labor government striking deals with the Coalition on key legislation when they could be collaborating with the Australian Greens and independents? Also, Linda Burney signs off from politics. #auspol Support New Politics: https://www.patreon.com/newpolitics Song listing: ‘Loser’, Beck.‘La Femme d’Argent’, Air.‘Bagi-la-m Bargan’, ft.
