Albanese v Dutton and the political struggle over Israel and Palestine
Listen now
Description
We explore a turbulent week in Australian politics: the Prime Minister sought to commemorate the victims of the October 7 attacks in Israel and Palestine, but faced sharp criticism from opposition leader Peter Dutton, who continues to push a divisive, far-right agenda. We examine how the Israel-Palestine conflict has deeply impacted Australia’s political landscape, with Labor trying to maintain balance, while the Liberal Party leans heavily in favour of Israel. We also look at the controversy surrounding NSW Premier Chris Minns response to pro-Palestinian protests, and the rise of a new political party, Australia’s Voice, as Australians increasingly seek alternatives to the traditional two-party system. #auspol Support New Politics: https://www.patreon.com/newpolitics Song listing: ‘The Message’, Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five.‘Confessions Of A Window Cleaner’, Ed Kuepper.‘All Along The Watchtower’, Afterhere (cover version).‘Wild’, Spoon.‘Release The Pressure’, Leftism.
