In this episode, we analyze the results of the Queensland election and uncover who the real losers are, as the media moves to yet another issue to target the federal Labor government—this time, over alleged flight upgrades. We also discuss the release of the Covid-19 Report, which reveals the severe mismanagement of the pandemic response by the previous Coalition government, and we look at the approaching U.S. election, examining it as a reflection of an empire in decline. #auspol Support New Politics: https://www.patreon.com/newpolitics Song listing: ‘The Message’, Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five.‘Back In The USSR’, The Beatles (Kaktux Rock Da House remix).‘Stranger In Moscow’, Tame Impala.‘Wild”, Spoon.‘Release The Pressure’, Leftism.
