Is Dutton a racist?

Is Dutton a racist?

Author: New Politics August 24, 2024 Duration: 49:08
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

Eddy Jokovich and David Lewis host New Politics: Australian Politics, a podcast dedicated to cutting through the noise of the daily news cycle. Their conversations go beyond the headlines and parliamentary theatre, digging into the stories and power dynamics that often get sidelined. They focus on the issues that mainstream coverage tends to gloss over or ignore entirely, driven by a commitment to the kind of accountability many journalists shy away from. Each episode is built on thorough analysis and direct discussion, offering listeners a deeper understanding of the forces shaping the country. You’ll hear them dissect policy, political strategy, and the real-world consequences of decisions made in Canberra, all with a serious and critical eye. This isn’t about soundbites or partisan point-scoring; it’s about examining how power operates and who it serves. For anyone tired of superficial political reporting and looking for substantive commentary, this podcast provides a necessary and regular dose of clarity. Tune in for their unflinching take on Australian politics, where the conversation always aims to hold power to account.
