Podcast appearances and mentions of Barrie Cassidy

Barrie Cassidy and Tony Barry examine the messy fallout of the election and give their predictions on the two very different – and potentially nasty – leadership battles ahead for the Liberals and the Greens. Also in this episode: how Labor's factions will settle who gets into cabinet, what now for the Coalition's nuclear policy and whether the government will now pursue a more aggressive policy agenda

The morning after a landslide win for Labor, Tony Barry and Barrie Cassidy examine how this election went so badly for the Coalition and what the Liberal party needs to do to entice voters back after a historic defeat. Also on the table: whether this increased majority could encourage Anthony Albanese to show more courage when it comes to policy reform, and why the teals are here to stay.

In this special pre-election episode, co-hosts Tony Barry and Barrie Cassidy pull apart the final messages of the campaign, delve into the polling and deliver their last verdicts on how they think it will play out on Saturday night

Barrie Cassidy, the former host of Insiders, veteran of 40 years or so as a political correspondent, joins Philip Clark on Nightlife.  

Just over halfway into the election campaign, Australians have now heard from both major parties on their solutions to the housing crisis. But with the flooding of media messaging, are voters able to tell the difference in what's being offered? And while there have been missteps on both sides – Peter Dutton pulling his son in front of the cameras, and Anthony Albanese's awkward moment with Tanya Plibersek – the odds are increasingly in Labor's favour. Barrie Cassidy and Tony Barry discuss why we could get majority Labor government, what happens when politicians deploy their family on the campaign trail, and how Donald Trump is the unavoidable third candidate in this election See all our Australian election 2025 coverage Get our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcast

What happens when things go wrong in the middle of a campaign? Barrie Cassidy and Tony Barry examine Peter Dutton's surprise backflip on his work-from-home policy, and ask: what can the Coalition do to recover from a bad week? And can they limit the damage quickly? They also discuss leader debates and Donald Trump's global trade war

The federal election campaign was barely a week old when Donald Trump rearranged the world trading order. And in Australia, the leaders covered a lot of ground. But in a campaign lacking inspiration, where is the promise of hope? Tony Barry and Barrie Cassidy examine the impact of new tariffs on Australia just four weeks out from the election. They also debate Dutton's plan to cut public sector workers, and wonder: is it too much to ask for some big ideas?

This week Barrie Cassidy and Tony Barry analyse budget week and what promises to be a tight election, with a campaign where every advantage is sought and every mistake regretted. Also on the table: when political husbands go rogue; and whether the second coming of Donald Trump could actually bolster the progressive vote See all our Australian election 2025 coverage Get our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcast

This week we are still in election limbo, so how can leaders maintain their focus during a long pseudo-campaign? Tony Barry and Barrie Cassidy examine Dutton's surprise dual citizenship referendum idea – one that even his own party colleagues weren't expecting – as well as the upcoming budget, Aukus and why every election campaign needs a villain Email the Barries at backtobackbarries@theguardian.com

It's been a wild week in Australian politics. Ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred delayed the election, giving us a bonus budget while the revelation a caravan filled with explosives was not part of a terror plot delivered lessons for politicians on all sides. But dominating the debate was Donald Trump's decision to implement tariffs on Australian steel and aluminium. Tony Barry and Barrie Cassidy examine how best to manage a relationship with an unpredictable ally, look closer to home at what the WA poll means for the federal election and examine why things are looking up for Albanese

Barrie Cassidy, the former host of Insiders, veteran of 40 years or so as a political correspondent, joins Philip Clark on Nightlife. There are few better observers of federal politics and he discusses how he's viewing the current pre-election political scene. 

This week, Barrie Cassidy and Tony Barry go back to the future to look at how history has given us an insight into what to expect in 2025 – and what lessons Anthony Albanese can learn from Bob Hawke.

This week, in Guardian Australia's new politics podcast, Barrie Cassidy and Tony Barry examine events that disrupt election campaigns – and there is no greater disrupter than Donald Trump. Also on the table: bulk-billing policy, questions about Peter Dutton's share purchases and the political reaction to China's live-fire drills.

The election is right around the corner and politicians are hitting the campaign trail – but what are they really up to? Guardian Australia's new podcast Back to Back Barries will examine the strategies behind the campaigns in the 2025 federal election with co-hosts Barrie Cassidy and Tony Barry. Barrie Cassidy has covered 14 federal elections as a political journalist, and two from the inside as a senior press secretary to then prime minister Bob Hawke. He is also the former host of ABC TV's political discussion program Insiders. Tony Barry is a former Liberal party strategist who has worked for Christopher Pyne and Malcolm Turnbull. He now runs political research company RedBridge Group and is also a regular media commentator. Back to Back Barries will be with you every Saturday as the election fast approaches.

Barrie Cassidy, former host of Insiders and veteran political journalist joined Philip Clark for Nightlife News Breakdown.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Barrie about his career and the state of Australian media

Welcome to an audio-led edition of Unmade.Today's episode features an interview with one of Australia's most storied media figures - former Insiders host Barrie Cassidy, who shares his unfiltered thoughts on the state of the Australian media landscape, the ABC, Michelle Guthrie's turbulent tenure as ABC boss, the devolution of the prime minister's press office, and the unhealthy coziness between politicians and journalists that's developed in recent years.If there was ever someone to offer an authoritative account on the evolution (or devolution) on the state of Australia's media, it would be Barrie Cassidy, former foreign correspondent and original host of ABC's Sunday morning Insiders program for 18 years.In conversation with Unmade's Seja Al Zaidi, Cassidy offers a candid analysis on the state of political journalism, the ‘arrogance' of the ABC when it comes to outside criticism, and his loss of faith in editorial judgments across the media industry after the Robodebt Inquiry was poorly covered.The conversation begins with Cassidy's scorching assessment of how prime ministers' press offices have devolved in how they try to manage the media. Cassidy was former PM Bob Hawke's press advisor from 1986 to 1991. He believes the decline began in the Kevin Rudd years, as political operators began to see an opportunity to fill the void created by 24 hour news."“And that's a very different way of operating now than what exists today, where they have so many press secretaries that they're able to get so heavily involved in media manipulation,” says Cassidy. “They get to the point where they really do think they can manage the media.”He warns that journalists are now reluctant to hold politicians to account the way they used to, because of the fear of being frozen out from information.“The end result of this - and I think it's a sad development in terms of how political journalism works - is the coziness of the relationship between the politicians and the journalists. They all depend so much on one another and it becomes this bubble, this club where where there's an attempt to mutually benefit one another,”While Cassidy classifies the biggest change in the Australian media landscape in the last decade as News Corp becoming “more blatantly propagandist”, he doesn't spare his alma mater, the ABC, from criticism either.Though he believes the ABC to be ‘the most important public institution' in the country, he also says it's “become just a little too arrogant and authoritarian in some respects” He's also critical of proposals to move some ABC operations to Parramatta as “tokenism”.On the topic of the ABC, Cassidy also explains why he believes former managing director Michelle Guthrie's tenure was such a failure, and made her predecessor Mark Scott so successful.Today's podcast was produced by Seja Al Zaidi and edited by Abe's Audio, the people to talk to about voiceovers, sound design and podcast production.We'll be back with more tomorrow.Message us: letters@unmade.media This is a public episode.

Nightlife News Breakdown with Philip Clark, joined by Barry Cassidy, former host of Insiders, veteran of 40 years or so as a political correspondent. 

The conduct of many journalists during the 2022 federal election appeared to expose media bias on the campaign trail. Many Australians were dissatisfied with journalists who seemed more concerned with catching politicians out than helping us understand their vision and priorities for the country. At Antidote 2022, journalists Maddison Connaughton, Barrie Cassidy, Osman Faruqi & Janine Perrett came together to ask, “ is there something fundamentally wrong with Australian media?”-Watch talks from Antidote 2022 on Stream, the streaming platform from the Sydney Opera House.

With Australians heading to the polls this weekend, the race between incumbent prime minister and Liberal party leader Scott Morrison and the Labor Party's Anthony Albanese looks too close to call, following what has been called "an unedifying campaign". Barrie Cassidy is the former host of ABC's political commentary program Insiders and has covered federal politics for more than 40 years - reporting on 13 federal elections. Cassidy says it's not the campaign that determines elections, but the performance of both the government and the opposition over the last three years.

After nearly four decades as one of Australia's foremost political journalists, Barrie Cassidy is enjoying his first election in years as just another voter with opinions of his own that he can share when and how he likes.The legendary founder and long-time host of the ABC's flagship Sunday morning political gabfest Insiders" joins Francis and Sally on the pod to discuss the 2022 federal election campaign. _____________________________________________________________ * You can now email us with your comments, story ideas, tip-offs, flip offs, and questions - otjpodcast@protonmail.com *On the Job is made by Australian Unions.

In this episode, Chloe and Emma talk about how Joe Biden has linked the personal and the political throughout a long and successful career. But could the 2020 election force the two apart?

Join Caroline Wilson and Corrie Perkin for Ep 116 'Rocking The Onesie'. We check in with Corrie and Caro's monthly challenge which has been a success this February. Corrie's instagram hours are declining rapidly while Caro's decluttering is paying dividends. We discuss the backlash when public figures make innapropriate remarks or gaffes. Are we forgiving of genuine mistakes but much less tolerant now of comments that allude to unsavoury attitudes?Caro and Corrie also touch on the new documentary about Adam Goodes The Australian Dream which aired on ABC TV on Sunday. The AFLW season is in full swing and we're starting to see media coverage of players and their sometimes poor performances - is this a sign that the league is growing up? In 'BSF' Corrie sides with Oprah in recommending American Dirt by Jeanine Cummins, Caro's hot screen tips are Temple (SBS on Demand) and The Stranger on Netflix and Corrie shares a simple recipe for brilliant roast potatoes (see recipe below). Caro's grumpy this week about the shoddy clean up by NBN contractors in her neighbourhood and we pay tribute to June Dally-Watkins who died recently aged 92. ROAST POTATOES (ala Susie Rogers Wilson). Choose your potatoes (Corrie likes Deseree or Chat) wash them then boil for 15-20 minutes in salted water until they are softish (but still slightly firm). Cut into halves so you have a flat bottom to place flat on the baking tray or dish. Make a series of close slits accross the top of the potatoes, then drizzle / brush generously with olive oil. Sprinkle on plenty of salt and chopped rosemary. Roast for 45 minutes at around 180 degrees C.

Chocolate Mousse Ice Cream From Simple Flavours by Geoff Slattery Another treat for chocolate lovers. It’s easy to make and it’s one ice cream that doesn’t need a professional machine to make it creamy and smooth. The chocolate does that easily. Stuck in the middle of my copy of Gaston Lenôtre’s inspiring and beautifully detailed Lenôtre’s Ice Creams and Pastries, is a sheet of yellow copy paper, a legacy of the way newspapers used to be before gizmos and whizzos became all the new generation knows and understands. Scribbled across the top are the words ‘Perfect (though rich) chocolate parfait’. I call on this recipe but occasionally, because every time I make it, I eat so much of the irresistible combination of chocolate and ice cream, chocolate mousse and chocolate souffle, I can hardly walk for a couple of days. It’s the sort of dessert you take by the spoonful, swirl around your mouth, and return to for more and more and more. It’s the dessert equivalent of strawberry daiquiris. ‘Hey,’ you say, ‘one more can’t hurt me, can it?’ Then you stand up. Then you fall down. I’m like this with most things to do with chocolate. I love it, but leave it, knowing well that it and I are not the best of lovers. I go at it with a gusto, and the next morning I have this bad taste in my guts and swear I’ll never do it again. But then, you know how it is. You start dreaming of chocolate again, and all your values are thrown out the window, and you gorge yourself, you’re overcome with guilt, and time passes … and there you go again. If you intend to take this dessert sensibly, it is important to balance its richness with something acidic, something sharp, to assist in the eating process. That sounds like a formula for gluttony, but it is really about enhancing the star, rather than finding more room for it in your tummy. The true believers in chocolate need nothing to diffuse its richness, and can take chocolate in large volumes, and never suffer for it, never feel guilty about it, and are still in love with it the next morning. This is really for them—a chocolate mousse ice cream, based on a recipe from Lenôtre’s Ice Creams and Pastries. 300 g dark chocolate. 2 cups (600 mL) cream 200 g sugar 6 egg yolks 1 cap (that’s cap not cup!) peppermint essence or 1 bunch of peppermint (optional) raspberries, to serve a splash of brandy, rum, whisky or whatever strong drink takes your fancy (double optional) pear or apple puree, to serve   Melt the chocolate with a little of the cream over a low heat. Set aside in a warm place. Divide the sugar in two and add half to one cup of the cream and half to the egg yolks. Whip the yolks with the sugar for a few minutes, until the yolks change to a light, creamy colour, and leave ribbons trailing from the whisk. Heat the cream and sugar mix with the peppermint essence or peppermint leaves, thus flavouring the cream with the peppermint. (This is clearly optional but gives a lovely sweet/sharp flavour amidst the mass of chocolate and cream. Peppermint and chocolate, as thousands of restaurateurs who leave such with your coffee will tell you, are marvellous partners. You can also use orange zest, and plenty of it, as a flavourer if you wish. Or nothing at all.) Bring the cream and peppermint mix to the boil, and then allow to cool a little. If you have used real peppermint, drain through a sieve and discard the leaves. Pour half of this peppermint cream into the yolk and sugar mix, whisking furiously, and then pour it back into the remaining peppermint cream, stirring over a low heat. If you have a sugar thermometer, use it now to bring the temperature of the custard slowly, slowly, slowly to 80°C. This can be a little tricky, and you must keep stirring in a figure-eight motion to make sure the heat is gentle and regularly applied. Take care the egg yolks do not cook and remember the mixture will continue to cook from the heat of the pot. While the custard is cooking, pour the melted chocolate into a large bowl. Strain the custard through a sieve over the chocolate, and whisk for a few minutes to draw down the heat. Allow to cool until the mixture is somewhere around blood temperature. While the chocolate mix is cooling, whisk the rest of the cream until it stiffens and has expanded in volume. It should be of roughly the same consistency as the chocolate mixture. Fold the cream, a third at a time, into the chocolate mixture. Pour the lot into a cold bowl, and place in the freezer to freeze. Serve a little of the parfait with a lot of raspberries and, if you’re a true Bohemian eater, take a good shot of very good brandy, or dark, dark rum, in between mouthfuls of chocolate. On side, try a purée of pears or apples, cooked with a little syrup until softened, and then pureed. This and the berries will lighten the load of chocolate.

We’ve managed to package it up as a take-home meal without compromising the quality. We make the packaged product a few minutes off being finished, so our customers are able to follow simple instructions to finish off the process and enjoy a homemade meal.INGREDIENTSMETHOD Bring the stock to a soft boil in a saucepan over medium–high heat. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a wide, heavy-based frying pan over medium heat. Sauté the onion for about 5 minutes until soft and translucent. Add the pancetta and garlic and cook for about 3–4 minutes, until the pancetta begins to caramelise. Add the rice and cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes until the rice is toasted and well coated with the oil. Add the wine, scraping any tasty sticky bits up from the bottom of the frying pan. Once most of the wine is absorbed, reduce the heat to low and add a ladleful of stock to the rice and simmer, stirring, until absorbed. Add another ladle, and repeat, simmering and stirring until all of the stock has been added and the rice is al dente. This should take about 20 minutes. Stir in the peas. Remove from the heat and mix in the butter and parmesan, and season to taste. Serve sprinkled with a little extra parmesan. 2 litressee method for ingredients125mlolive oil1onion, finely diced100gpancetta, cut into lardons4garlic cloves, crushed370garborio rice150mlwhite wine150gfresh or thawed frozen peas30gunsalted butter75gparmesan cheese, grated, plus extra to serve

He spent three years as a press gallery journalist in Canberra, and six as Prime Minister Bob Hawke's press secretary.In this episode of Behind the Media, he tells Stephen Brook about accusations of partisan bias, what went wrong with sacked ABC managing director Michelle Guthrie, and his own experiences of political fallout at the national broadcaster decades ago.
