The Return of the American Conman
Listen now
Description
We analyze the aftermath of the US election, where Donald Trump’s victory signals the return of the conman, criminal and clown show. Vote Dutton, Get Rinehart? We ask if voting for Peter Dutton is bringing Gina Rinehart’s influence into federal politics, and the answer is probably “yes”. We also cover the current state of the economy, proposed changes to HECS debt policies, and the continued shortcomings of the National Anti-Corruption Commission, which has yet to meet public expectations. #auspol Support New Politics: @ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/newpolitics @ Substack: https://newpolitics.substack.com Song listing: ‘All Along The Watchtower’, Afterhere (Bob Dylan cover).‘Lose Fit’, Happy Mondays.‘Swing For The Crime”, Ed Kuepper.‘The Last Goodbye’, Odesza.‘Won’t Get Fooled Again’, The Who (remix).
