The ridiculous social media ban and exporting Israel violence

The ridiculous social media ban and exporting Israel violence

Author: New Politics November 15, 2024 Duration: 42:27
We explore the government’s controversial plan to target under-16s with a social media ban, explore the continued media manipulation surrounding Israel, and examine why football violence seems to receive a troubling level of acceptance when perpetrated by racist Israeli football hooligans. Meanwhile, the mainstream media stirs up excitement over an early election that, in reality, shows no signs of materialising. May 2025, that’s when it’s going to held, and not likely to be before. #auspol #NoAgeBan

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.
