Podcasts about Australian Labor Party

What better way to celebrate our 300th episode than in front of a LIVE audience?Stephen Donnelly. Jessie McCrone, David Feeney,Benita Kolovos and Reed Fleming all bring their A-game - and a few iconic media grabs - to this celebration of Labor's cracking campaign and decisive victory.Between the witty repartee and a bit of tea-spilling from these campaign veterans, the live show panel covers key topics like:

Australia's federal election has produced a significant majority for PM Anthony Albanese. While most of the campaign was dominated by domestic issues, the shadow cast by the Trump administration's highly destabilising policies was long. The re-elected government faces the most complex international environment in decades with the ongoing wars in Ukraine and Gaza, an America led by a mercurial President who appears intent on wrecking the liberal international order and an ambitious and confident China. This panel will discuss the most immediate international challenges facing the newly elected government, how it is likely to approach these issues and what new direction a more confident and emboldened Labor government may take. Panel: The Hon Bill Shorten (Leader of the Australian Labor Party (2013 - 2019), Vice-Chancellor of the University of Canberra) Professor Andrea Carson (Political Communication, La Trobe University) Professor Nick Bisley (Dean of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, La Trobe University) Professor Bec Strating (Director, La Trobe Asia) Recorded 13th May, 2025

The origin of Easter. History of the Australian Labor Party. How to recover from storms and floods.

Labor members Pat Conroy and Murray Watt ramped up their attacks on the Coalition over the weekend. While a Labor-funded website titled "He cuts, you pay" and an official Australian Labor Party advertisement posted to social media stated the opposition would close down urgent care clinics. Nationals Senator Bridget McKenzie told Luke Bradnam on 4BC Breakfast, "Another day, another Labor scare campaign." "That is absolutely categorically not the case." "We are absolutely committed to funding all existing urgent care clinics," Senator McKenzie commented. "They're filling a major gap in the healthcare provision of Australians and we're actually announcing new ones." "We've already announced an urgent care clinic in Cairns and in Carindale in Queensland and that's going to continue," Mrs McKenzie said.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How Economics Explains the World: A Short History of Humanity (Mariner Books, 2024) is a book for anyone interested in understanding the economic forces that have shaped our world. Its blend of historical insight and contemporary relevance makes it a valuable addition to your bookshelf. This small book indeed tells a big story. It is the story of capitalism – of how our market system developed. It is the story of the discipline of economics, and some of the key figures who formed it. And it is the story of how economic forces have shaped world history. Why didn't Africa colonize Europe instead of the other way around? What happened when countries erected trade and immigration barriers in the 1930s? Why did the Allies win World War II? Why did inequality in many advanced countries fall during the 1950s and 1960s? How did property rights drive China's growth surge in the 1980s? How does climate change threaten our future prosperity? You'll find answers to these questions and more in How Economics Explains the World. Andrew Leigh is an Australian economist, author, and politician currently serving as the Assistant Minister for Competition, Charities and Treasury, as well as the Assistant Minister for Employment. A member of the Australian Labor Party, he has represented the electorate of Fenner in the House of Representatives since 2010. Before entering politics, he was a professor of economics at the Australian National University, specialising in public policy, inequality, and economic reform. Leigh is a prolific writer, having authored several books on economic and social issues, and is known for his commitment to evidence-based policymaking and fostering competition in the Australian economy. “If you read just one book about economics, make it Andrew Leigh's clear, insightful, and remarkable (and short) work.” —Claudia Goldin, recipient of the 2023 Nobel Prize in Economics and Henry Lee Professor of Economics at Harvard University One of The Economist's Best Books of the Year Learn more about your ad choices.

The inimitable Annabel Crabb joins us for this special spotlight episode where we shine a light on the changing impact of journalism in a shifting media landscape. In a world where truth is increasingly contested, can the fourth estate still be trusted to deliver reliable information which brings us together into some sort of shared reality? Or has our trust in journalism been irrevocably broken by the ‘democratisation' of information - the relentless immediacy of self-selecting delivery platforms - as well as the unabating attacks of all political sides, who too often claim that it's just a front for power or an opinion, or even worse, a home for misinformation. How can we rebuild trust in the news, recognising its limitations while understanding its critical role in a well-functioning society?As to disagree productively, we need a shared reality as our foundation.Annabel CrabbAnnabel Crabb is an Australian political journalist, commentator and television host who is the ABC's chief online political writer.
