While the mainstream media obsesses over melons, Australia confronts migration, weak gun laws, NDIS cuts, substandard housing and a Christian takeover of the Liberal Party. The real news…

The Minns government is using Israeli tech to extract people’s data in NSW – how much power should the state acquire in the name of security, and who will protect the public once that power begins to spread?

A misguided campaign against antisemitism will propagandise the Australian education system and restrict legitimate debate about Israel and Palestine. So why is Albanese allowing it to continue?

Political donations, party machines and failing governments all point to the same problem: a democratic system that has become better at protecting power than serving the public. How can we make things better?

From $10,000 dinners and corporate-sponsored conferences to ignoring party members and abandoning struggling communities, Labor is displaying the complacency that eventually destroys governments.

Andy Burnham promises to break with Britain’s neoliberal past – and if he succeeds, Anthony Albanese’s cautious incrementalism in Australia will become much harder to defend. Listen in to today’s episode: podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/n...

Pauline Hanson claims to champion the battlers, but falling polls, billionaire friends and endless culture wars are exposing the contradictions at the heart of One Nation. Will it make any difference to her hard core supporters?

Hanson’s European junket, billionaire connections and endless culture wars exposes the hypocrisy at the heart of One Nation’s grievance politics, and for all the others who want to join in.

From global culture wars to Labor’s internal contradictions, Britain’s political reset, AI and the future of democracy, we look at the big issues affecting politics. And why do conservatives hate Australia so much and feel they have to tell the whole world about it?

The Jayson Gillham ruling shows how artistic freedom is highly conditional when Israel is involved. There were only 130 people at his performance and well received, but the Zionists wanted to punish him for speaking out. It’s a hole we need to get out of but where do we start?

An inquiry established to reduce antisemitism and strengthen social cohesion is threatening free speech, public broadcasting and legitimate criticism of Israel. How did we get here?

The Royal Commission keeps wasting our time, with claims from the most privileged people in society that even the hyphen is now anti-semitic. Time to get real about this outrageous overreach and tell these people where to go, and listen to others in the Jewish community.

From the Royal Commission and the ABC, to Jayson Gillham, Pauline Hanson and Count Binface, the battle over who controls political debate is becoming one of Australia’s biggest issues.

China’s missile launch and Australia’s panic merchants: when will Australia finally start to behave like a mature country, instead of a minion lackey to the United States?

The Labor Conference, Albanese, Minns, housing affordability, gambling reform, Palestine and One Nation all point to the same question: what does the modern Labor Party stand for?

Menzies has been a topic of discussion this week, but was he really a Nazi appeaser, as claimed? The history is more complicated.

The Liberal Party crisis runs far deeper than an unpopular leader. Can it rediscover a purpose that resonates with modern Australia, or continue its long decline towards irrelevance?

Is it all over for Angus Taylor? Yes, he hasn’t got much to offer but he’ll stay in the job – just like Peter Dutton did – because there are few alternatives.

If political parties only needed new branding to improve their lot, they’d be doing it every day. A new name and logo isn’t going to save the Liberal Party.  Read the Weekly Brief here:  www.newpolitics.com.au/p/a-new-logo...
