• Ep. 326: What Does Labor Believe In? with Sean Kelly

  Sean Kelly started with a basic question: What does Labor believe?Drawing on his experience as a former press secretary for both Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard, and over a decade covering politics, he pursues the question through the lens of our not so-distant-past - from the Cold War to Whitlam, from Hawke and Keating to Rudd and Gillard.The result is a brilliant essay which reflects on the struggles, feats and failures of the current Albanese government - placing it within the broader struggle of all centre-left parties: between belief and action, idealism and pragmatism, the 'right' thing and the achievable thing.Sean comes on the show to discuss it with Stephen.A must-listen and a must-read to all who are interested in fighting the good fight.✍️ Mentioned in the episode:Quarterly Essay 100: 'The Good Fight: What Does Labor Stand For?' by Sean Kellyhttps://bit.ly/4rzVkC3The Game: A Portrait of Scott Morrison by Sean Kellyhttps://bit.ly/48gYbYW#podcast #quarterlyessay #thegoodfight #seankelly #ALP #Labor #Albanese #Gillard #Rudd #Hawke #Keating #socialism #idealism #pragmatism #politicsSupport the showNew episodes every Friday.

• Ep. 325 Feeney Files with Jessie McCrone: Tory Story

  Seven months post-election, Federal Labor is still going strong, while the Liberals seem hopelessly mired in conflict.🤔 Sussan Ley’s decision to dump net zero targets aren’t doing them any favours with suburban voters. And, Labor is polling better than the Libs in 9 out of 10 policy areas, including the economy. 💅 But is the ALP getting too comfortable? 🥁At a state level, the new Victorian Liberal leader Jess Wilson is getting a lot of fanfare. Is she the great Millennial hope that the Tories have been asking for? Well, she is a Millennial.🫠UK Prime Minister Kier Starmer wins the In Over My Head Award, thanks to a listener nomination. Could this be the last ever UK Labour Government? 🧑‍🦰Stephen invents a new award just for Pauline Hanson. We pour one out for the all poor Australian white nationalists who haven’t got a captain, a rudder, or even a boat. Mentioned in the show: https://australianelectionstudy.org/#ALP #Labor #Labour #UK #Wales #Frace #auspol #victoria #vicpol #election #Liberals #JessWilson #KeirStarmer #KellySloan #PaulineHanson #podcast #NetZero #politics #JacintaAllan #Albanese #Childcare #budget #theeconomySupport the showNew episodes every Friday.
