One Nation has just made history by securing its first-ever federal lower house seat. With Pauline Hanson eyeing the Lodge, the message to Canberra is loud and clear: Australians are fed up. But is this a genuine endorsement of hard-right policies, or a protest against the cost-of-living crisis and housing stress? Today, we’re joined by The New Daily’s Political Editor Amy Remeikis to unpack whether the old 'blue vs red' era of Australian politics is officially over. Plus, we speak with Charlotte Mortlock, founder of Something Better Australia, about her grassroots mission to build a new political force that moves beyond the fringe.

The Griff needs your help! Tom is joined by returning favourite Amy Remeikis, one of the few good journalists. First up a bit of Trump Epstein emails chat as a little treat (8:40). Then, the Coalition dumped net zero and all it does is provide cover for Labor to be 99% as bad (15:43). Next up a mixed-bag of the government being a bag of shit (45:10). Did you know the new CSIRO cuts are worse than Tony Abbott did? But it’s Labor so shh it’s fine, stop being hysterical. Meanwhile the government asked people in the states to stop needing the hospital so much please, and then bravely decided to be total cowards and abandon proper gambling advertising reform. But stick around to the end for some positive suggestions for the future!

The Liberal Party has officially said farewell to net zero by 2050. Joined by Amy Remeikis, we're unpacking the decision, what it'll mean for the libs moving forward and how their leader, Sussan Ley, has lived to see another day at the head of the table. Plus, there's an urgent call to ban industrial trans fats from Australia's food supply over concerns of their links to cardiovascular issues. We're on the case about what trans fats actually are, why they're hidden and how Aussies can spot them at the supermarket. And in headlines today, Newly released congressional documents show Jeffrey Epstein called Donald Trump “borderline insane” in private emails before Epstein’s death; The family of murdered grandmother Vyleen White has slammed the 16-year maximum sentence for her 16-year-old killer; Reforms to improve safety in childcare and early education could be implemented nationwide by the end of the year; Psychiatrist Dr Daniela Vecchio has been named 2026 Australian of the Year for Western Australia for her work treating gaming addiction in young people.

As the federal election campaign kicked off over the weekend, chief political analyst at the Australia Institute Amy Remeikis was paying close attention. While Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced a crackdown on supermarket price gouging and Opposition Leader Peter Dutton focused on cost-of-living measures, Remeikis noticed there were some big issues that neither leader wanted to confront – such as climate change and Australia’s relationship with our most important ally. Today, chief political analyst at the Australia Institute Amy Remeikis on the big questions we should be asking our politicians – and why now is the time to do so.
