One Nation is applying pressure from the right. Who is applying equivalent pressure from the left? That's the opportunity facing David Shoebridge and the Greens. Today’s New Politics podcast: 🎧 podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/w...

Can David Shoebridge turn progressive discontent into votes for the Greens, and force Labor back towards the left? Exposing government failures is one thing but giving people something better to vote for is the next big test. Today’s New Politics podcast: podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/w...

OpenAI’s breach exposes Australia’s struggle to hold tech giants accountable, from public data and creators’ rights, to the growing demands of data centres. Has the Albanese government lost sight of the public interest?

Eddy Jokovich @eddyjokovich.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
Australia is repeating the same mistakes it made with Google and Facebook – allowing powerful tech giants to set the rules before governments can work out a way to control them. What can be done to stop them?

Who’s actually in charge of Australia’s future? Albanese is trying to buy influence at the UN and promises an AI boom, while households face another rate rise and One Nation pulls the strings. Who’s making these decisions, and who bears the cost?

Eddy Jokovich @eddyjokovich.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
Australia wants a seat at the UN but what would it stand for? Albanese wants a stronger voice on the Security Council, but Australia’s response to Gaza and illegal Israeli settlements raises questions about how it would use that power.

Mike Burgess has announced 16 disrupted terror threats but what do these claims say about the past failures of ASIO?

Eddy Jokovich @eddyjokovich.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
It’s time for ASIO’s celebrity spy to face serious scrutiny, and explain whether Australians are getting value for money. ASIO claims it stopped 16 terror threats but what about the big one it missed?

Labor abandons action against illegal Israeli settlements, scapegoats migrants for the housing crisis, and allows One Nation’s culture wars to reshape Australian politics. Just like Liberal-light.

It wasn’t meant to be like this but it eventually happens to all governments. Pork-barrelling, politically targeted grants, NDIS cutbacks and unquestioned defence spending suggests that Labor has become what it once condemned.

Speak out against Zionists: get punished. It’s a tried and tested formula, but people are getting absolutely sick of it. When will it end? From today’s New Politics podcast.

The cases of Mary Kostakidis and Macklemore show the consequences of criticising Israel and also reveal how Zionist influence works in Australia and the US.

Labor’s integrity problem deepens, pressure grows over Palestine and the NDIS, while One Nation feeds on Australia’s economic insecurity.  The New Politics weekly brief: www.newpolitics.com.au/p/labors-ver...

We were cautiously optimistic when Australia recognised Palestine but it was all a ruse from Albanese and Wong. Business as usual with Israel, and nothing has changed. Today’s podcast: open.spotify.com/episode/0bZQ...

Almost a year after recognising Palestine, the Albanese government’s rhetoric remains unmatched by action, and it’s almost a meaningless gesture. What will it take to force the government to act?

Eddy Jokovich @eddyjokovich.bsky.social · 04/09/2026
One Nation just won a seat from Labor that it held for 37 years. It’s a sign that Labor needs to become the radical force in its own right, not just copy One Nation’s agenda. But will it? It’s unlikely.

Eddy Jokovich @eddyjokovich.bsky.social · 02/09/2026
Two years after Zomi Frankcom was killed, the case has been closed, the commander responsible has no regrets, and the Albanese government refuses to impose any meaningful action against Israel. It’s an absolute travesty but so typical of this government.

From Israeli soldiers of genocide running through the streets of Sydney to One Nation’s rise, climate catastrophe and AI’s enormous power demands, Labor’s business-as-usual politics no longer works.

Do we need to talk about the influence of Israel in Australian politics? Absolutely – it’s time we called it out…

An Australian Greens Senator is asking the questions that too many politicians are afraid to ask, and it could uncover some very uncomfortable truths about Australian politics. Is anyone else in politics going to join him?

Angus Taylor, political scandal, corruption and the rise of One Nation are exposing a party that no longer knows what it represents, or how to rebuild. That’s the Liberal Party of today…

Eddy Jokovich @eddyjokovich.bsky.social · 19/08/2026
The Liberal Party is beset by corruption inquiries, religious fanaticism, factionalism and imported culture wars, but remains determined to repeat the mistakes that drove voters away in the first place. Why can’t they see what seems to be obvious to everyone else?

Eddy Jokovich @eddyjokovich.bsky.social · 17/08/2026
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?

Spending billions on imaginary submarines, while AUKUS quietly creates a US military presence beyond Australia’s control. Our political leaders need to be condemned for these reckless actions.

One of biggest indoctrinations in the school education is on the verge of being implemented, and Albanese is going to let it all roll through. So why is he doing it? Listen to the podcast here: podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/n...

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.

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?

Eddy Jokovich @eddyjokovich.bsky.social · 17/07/2026
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.

Eddy Jokovich @eddyjokovich.bsky.social · 13/07/2026
