Josh Burns was the youngest member of the Labor caucus when he was elected to parliament in 2019, but he faces tough opposition on both sides to retain the pivotal seat of Macnamara at the upcoming election. Situated in Melbourne, Macnamara is one of the most diverse seats in the nation, home to a wide range of cultures, communities and ethnicities. At the last election, Burns defeated both the Liberals and the Greens by just 2% of the vote, and it could be an even closer finish this time. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On a cloudy day in Melbourne's West, campaign workers in clashing t-shirts formed lines outside of schools and community centres. Residents, who often suffer from congested roads, this time navigated foot traffic on their way to the voting booth. February 8th, 2025 was the day of the Werribee by-election. It came after long-serving Labor MP, Tim Pallas announced his retirement - kicking off Labor's first real pressure test of the year. Stephen Donnelly sits down with seasoned pollster and campaign researcher, John Armitage, for a spirited discussion about why the Werribee by-election matters, and what Labor can learn from this moment as they rise to meet the challenges of 2025.CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction04:33 Werribee By-Election Overview16:23 The Liberal Strategy23:56 Lessons for Labor36:31 The Western Front47:21 Prahan52:36 Wrap UpThe presenting sponsor of the Socially Democratic podcast is Dunn Street.

Australia is struggling with a number of crisis situations – a cost-of-living crisis, a housing affordability crisis and a rental shortage crisis. Our beloved Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has declared on many occasions how much he cares about the plight of ordinary Australians in dealing with these issues. But, as the old saying goes, actions speak louder than words – and that is particularly relevant to our elected representatives who love to stand before the media cameras and declare their concern for the people but fail to match their words with appropriate actions. So, let's look at how the Prime Minister has handled his personal housing market issues in 2024. In May this year Albanese evicted a long-standing tenant in a property he owned in the Sydney suburb of Dulwich Hill. At the time, the tenant declared he was shocked to learn he no longer had a place to live and had no idea he was going to be kicked out of his home of four years. At the time the tenant said he had tried to seek clarification of the situation and why he had to leave but did not receive a response. He said at the time: “It seems a little bit misaligned with the messaging Labor has been putting out ... about recognising how difficult it is for renters.” He also said: “It's a crippling blow for me right now. I have mixed emotions in calling this out. I voted for Albo at the last election and am broadly a supporter of his policies.” So, PM Albanese, having got rid of the pesky tenant, then put the Dulwich Hill property on the market, with an auction scheduled for October. This was a three-bedroom townhouse at 29B Lewisham St in Dulwich Hill which Albanese bought for $1.17 million in 2015 and was advertising for auction with a price guide of $1.9 million. If it sold at that price, it would represent a 62% gain in nine years. But then, at the last minute, the Prime Minister cancelled the auction and decided not to sell the property after all. He evicted his tenant because he said he wanted to sell and then decided NOT to sell. Then, in the same week, it was revealed he had spent $4.3 million on a new home on the Central Coast north of Sydney. This is Albo the battler we're talking about, the guy who loves to talk about his tough working-class roots and growing up in a housing commission environment. Albanese said he planned initially on leasing out the property with views over Copacabana Beach, with estimates he will pocket between $2000 and $2500 a week in rental income. A Labor MP, who declined to be named, said the purchase was “not a great look” for Albanese, who will have to fight hard to hold on to government at the next federal election. Responding to claims the purchase was a bad look in a cost-of-living crisis and a housing market crisis, Albanese, who earns more than $600,000 a year, said he knew “what it is like to struggle”, referring to his upbringing in public housing in Sydney's Camperdown. “I am much better off as Prime Minister. I earn a good income. I understand that,” he said. Columnist Dennis Shanahan wrote in The Australian: “There are two unequivocal things to say about Anthony Albanese's decision to buy a $4.3 million cliff top, ocean view home on the NSW Central Coast. The first is — good on him. Well done for living the Australian dream of home ownership and getting there on his own. “The second is this — this has to be the dumbest, most damaging piece of political tone deafness and timing since Tony Abbott appointed Prince Philip as a “Knight of the Order of Australia” in the Australia Day honours' list in 2015.” Shanahan wrote: “No matter what Albanese says to justify the purchase, it's a bad political look that makes him appear out of touch with people renting and trying to buy their own home. It also raises the immediate thought that it's a retirement parachute for after the next election.” Meanwhile, on the same day as the $4.3 million purchase was revealed, it was the AGM of Commonwealth Bank – which reported that more and more customers are feeling the pinch from the cost-of-living crisis. Commonwealth Bank chief executive Matt Comyn revealed huge numbers of Australians are falling behind on their mortgage repayments. He told shareholders the bank has offered tailored hardship payment arrangements to 132,000 customers over the past year. Comyn said: “Households are continuing to find it very challenging.” But certainly not the household of our battler Prime Minister. Albo is doing very well indeed. He's just paid over $4 million for a home he won't be living in and he has decided he doesn't need to sell his $1.9 million investment property in Sydney to afford it. And that's perplexing news for the tenant he evicted on the grounds that he needed to sell the property, before subsequently changing his mind.

This week saw a Labor MP's office vandalized in Victoria in protest of the party's inaction surrounding the war in Gaza. The protest has sparked outrage from current and former members of government, who say aggressive protest action is taking things too far. Should protest action be more peaceful, to be more effective? Or is loud and aggressive protest the only way to get wider Australian society to pay attention to major issues surrounding the environment, climate and human rights? In this episode of the Briefing former leader of the Greens and environmentalist Bob Brown joins Bension Siebert to unpack what an effective protest looks like.

It was revealed this week that state Labor MP's Karen Mckeown and Nathan Haggarty were on the board of Active Super, which was found by the Federal Court to have engaged in a phenomenon known as “Greenwashing”. The court said the Superfund had misled and deceived investors by claiming it had eliminated its members' exposure to gambling, coal and Russian companies, when it in fact, had multiple investments in these industries.  As directors, Mckeown and Haggarty were pocketing $200 thousand a year, on top of their already lucrative parliamentary salaries. It has since been revealed that Karen Mckgeown voted in favour of a rezoning proposal within the funds investment portfolio while she was Penrith Mayor.  Liberal Member for Vaucluse and Shadow Environment, Kellie Sloane, joins Luke Grant to chat about the potential conflicts of interest that can occur from MP's having multiple jobs and Premier Chris Minns failure to properly sanction the MP's.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For most voters, the cost of living is their major current concern. Rising interest rates and high prices for power, groceries and other necessities are hurting in particular lower and middle income people. Nowhere is this more the case than in Sydney's western suburbs. Independent Dai Le, who holds the seat of Fowler in Sydney's west, managed to pull off the unthinkable at last year's federal election. Le, who financed her campaign with a very modest budget, defeated Labor's Kristina Keneally, who was attempting to move from the Senate to the lower house. Fowler has traditionally been Labor heartland. Le is the first non-Labor MP to represent the area, one of Australia's most multicultural electorates.  

Amid the cost-of-living crisis, a growing chorus of Labor MPs are calling for the government to raise the rate of jobseeker – currently sitting at $50 a day. South-west Sydney MP, Michael Freelander, says people on the payment are ‘struggling to cope with even the most basics of life in a modern society'. Freelander speaks to Laura Murphy-Oates about the groundswell of support within Labor for raising the rate and why he believes change will occur within the year

With the Liberal Party formally opposing the Voice, Peter Dutton last week kicked off his “no” campaign in Alice Springs. His claim that child sexual abuse is rife was quickly under attack from the government and others who accused him of politicking, using the issue as a political football. Marion Scrymgour, a former deputy chief minister in the Northern Territory, is the federal Labor member for the seat of Lingiari, an electorate covering almost all the NT outside Darwin. Scrymgour says Dutton is taking up the same theme as was heard in the Northern Territory intervention. “The same campaign that was done to justify the intervention is the same campaign that's been happening with the Leader of the Opposition.

Australia correspondent Karen Middleton joins Kathryn to talk about the new ministry unveiled by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, which will be sworn in this morning. It has a record number of women, and the powerful role of Home Affairs Minister has gone to Victorian MP Clare O'Neil. Peter Dutton is the new leader of the Liberal Party, and he's dismissed a sledge from a Labor MP that he looks like 'Voldemort' - saying it's water off a duck's back. Covid and flu are combining to create a concerning time for the country's health sector as the temperatures across Australia plummet.

On election night, Anthony Albanese's first commitment was on the Uluru statement from the heart. So, what does that commitment look like, and what plans does Labor have to improve the lives of Indigenous Australians? We speak to Australia's first Indigenous woman to be the Minister for Indigenous Affairs, Linda Burney. Plus, there's growing calls to ban gay conversion practices in Tasmania. And, it's not just you: stuff is getting smaller. We look at "shrinkflation" and how supermarket brands are quietly reducing the size of items so they can charge you less. Live guests: Linda Burney, Labor MP and incoming Minister for Indigenous Affairs Anna Brown, CEO of Equality Australia Professor Gary Mortimer, QUT

The next stop on our election road trip has taken us to the Hunter region in NSW! It's an area that's constantly at the centre of massive national debates on energy, environment, and skills. The seat of Hunter has been held by Labor for more than a century, but things are changing - and the ALP's desperately trying to hang onto it. Can they convince regional voters to stay with them? Plus, in stark contrast to the mining industry in the region, the Hunter's known for its world-class wine industry. We visit a farmer and grape grower in Polkobin to see how these industries co-exist. And we check in with Joel Fitzgibbon, the Labor MP whose retirement is triggering a super tight contest in the area. Live guests: Steve Fordham, Kamilaroi man and mining business owner Alisdair Tulloch, farmer and grape-grower Joel Fitzgibbon, former Member for Hunter
