MORE UNINTENTIONALLY FUNNY AI SLOP SHOWNOTES. Peter Hoistead? Thanks Gemini. Thanks listeners. We love you. Buy CBCo it's excellent beer. The Conditional Release Program - Episode 185: Federal Election 2025 Post-SpecialHosts: Joel Hill & Jack the Insider (Peter Hoistead)Overall Theme: A deep dive into the results and implications of the 2025 Australian Federal Election, focusing on Labor's historic victory, the Coalition's catastrophic loss, and the performance of minor parties and independents.Key Segments & Talking Points:(Part 1 - Approximate Timestamps based on original transcript, subject to adjustment)[00:00:00 - 00:01:23] Introduction & Election OverviewJoel laments being banned from betting on the election, particularly Labor's strong odds.Jack notes Joel would have won significantly, especially on Labor at $2.60.Historic Labor Win: Anthony "Albo" Albanese leads Labor to a significant victory.Libs sent into an "existential crisis."Albo is the first PM to be re-elected since John Howard in 2004.Largest Labor victory on a two-party preferred basis since John Curtin in 1943 (votes still being counted).Crucial Stat: The Albanese government is the only first-term government to have a swing towards it in Australian political history.[00:01:23 - 00:03:38] Significance of the Swing to LaborPrevious first-term governments (Howard '98, Hawke '84, Fraser '77, Whitlam '74, Menzies) all had swings against them when seeking a second term.Albo's government achieved an approximate 4% swing towards it (votes still being counted).Discussion points: Where it went right for Labor, and wrong for the Coalition, Greens, and Teals.Far-right "Cookers" performed terribly. Pauline Hanson's One Nation (FONY) might see minor representation.[00:03:38 - 00:05:11] Patreon & Sponsor Shout-outsReminder to support the podcast on Patreon: www.patreon.com/theconditionalreleaseprogram (for as little as $5/month).CB Co. Beer: Praised for their IPA and new Hazy XPA. Competition to win $100,000. Use code CRP10 for 10% off at cbco.beer.[00:05:11 - 00:08:52] Polling Inaccuracies & Liberal OptimismReiteration of the ~4% swing to Labor.Comparison of final poll predictions vs. actual results:Freshwater: Labor 51.5% (was Liberal pollster, told Libs they were close).Newspoll: 52.5% (Labor used their private polling).Essential: 53.5%.YouGov: 52.2% - 52.9%.Polling companies significantly underestimated Labor's vote, especially those advising the Coalition.The misplaced optimism at Liberal Party HQ on election night.[00:08:52 - 00:16:00] Specific Seat Results & Labor GainsGilmore (NSW South Coast): Fiona Phillips (Labor) won 55-45 (3-4% swing to her), despite Andrew Constance (Liberal) being the favourite.Bennelong (Howard's old seat): Jeremy Laxail (Labor) won 59-41 against Scott Young (problematic Liberal candidate), a 10% swing to Labor.Parramatta: Andrew Charlton (Labor) won 62-38 (was 53.47 in 2022).Aston (Victoria): Labor won in a historic by-election previously, now a 4% swing to the Labor candidate, winning 53-47.Boothby (SA): Louise Miller-Frost (Labor) achieved an 8% swing, holding the seat 61-39.Tangney (WA): Sam Lim (Labor, ex-cop & dolphin trainer) secured a 3% swing, now 56-44. Large Bhutanese diaspora noted.Leichhardt (FNQ): Labor's Matt Smith won 57-43 after Warren Entsch (LNP) retired (10% swing).Hunter (NSW): Dan Repiccioli (Labor) re-elected with 44% primary vote (5% swing on primary). Fended off Nats and One Nation (Stuart Bonds' inflated vote claims by "One Australia" on X).[00:16:00 - 00:18:49] Diversifying Parliament & Women in PoliticsPraise for non-lawyer backgrounds in Parliament (e.g., Dan Repiccioli, Sam Lim).Critique of the typical lawyer/staffer/union pathway.Labor's success in diversifying candidate backgrounds and increasing female representation.Liberals struggling with female representation despite some efforts. Discussion of potential quotas in the Liberal party and the backlash it would cause.Margaret Thatcher quote: "If you want something said, ask a man. If you want something done, ask a woman."[00:18:49 - 00:27:26] The Teals: Mixed Results & ChallengesInitial appearance of a Teal "romp" on election night.Bradfield (NSW North Shore): Teal Nicolette Boele (Burle/Bola) behind Liberal Giselle Kaptarian by 178 votes (updated during recording).Goldstein (VIC): Tim Wilson (Liberal) leading Zoe Daniel (Teal) by 925 votes. Wilson is likely back. Joel comments on Wilson's IPA association vs. his "gay, wet, mediocre, progressive side." Jack notes Wilson often highlights his sexuality.Jim Chalmers' quip about Tim Wilson: "Popular for all those who haven't met him."Kooyong (VIC): Monique Ryan (Teal) leading by 1002 votes (97,000 counted, ~8,000 postals to go). Redistribution added parts of Toorak, making it harder for Ryan.Liberal candidate Amelia Hamer: "Trust fund renter" controversy, owns multiple properties, London bolthole.Corflute wars in Kooyong: Hamer campaign's excessive use of A-frames, obstructing walkways, went to Supreme Court over council limits. Jack doubts the impact of corflutes.[00:27:26 - 00:31:28] Why Did the Teals Go Backwards?Liberal party invested heavily in Kooyong and Goldstein.Voters potentially preferring a local member who is a Minister or part of the government.Redistribution impact in Kooyong (addition of Toorak).Zali Steggall's success in Warringah partly due to "fruitcake" Liberal opponents like Katherine Deves.[00:31:28 - 00:40:37] The Greens: Significant LossesLost all lower house seats. Adam Bandt (leader) gone from Melbourne.Lost Brisbane (Max Chandler Mather) and Griffith back to Labor.Ryan (South Brisbane): Likely Labor win in a three-way contest.Greens will have no lower house representation.Key Reason: Housing policy standoff. Accused of holding up Labor's housing bill for over a year (affecting funding for domestic violence victims, homeless), pursuing "perfection" over compromise.[00:40:37 - 00:49:57] Deep Dive: Housing Policy ChallengesA major challenge for the Albanese government. Not an easy fix.Supply-side changes could devalue existing homes or slow growth, angering homeowners.Joel's view: Subsidized housing (rent-to-own, means-tested) wouldn't touch the high-end market.Negative gearing: Not a quick fix; removing it overnight unlikely to change much; issue is supply.Homeowner expectations of property value growth.Construction industry at full tilt; skills shortages.CFMEU's role in skilled migration for construction.Free TAFE importance for reskilling/upskilling.Linton Besser (Media Watch) criticism of Labor "building" houses when they reconditioned unlivable ones – Joel argues this still increases supply.[00:49:57 - 00:59:16] Deep Dive: Childcare Policy & Global Economic HeadwindsChildcare another area for government focus.Labor's childcare policy: Rebates for high earners (e.g., $325k combined income).High cost of childcare; need for better pay for childcare workers (Labor delivered a pay spike).Ownership of childcare centers (Peter Dutton reference) and profit-making. Call for more public childcare.Uncertain global economic times, Trump tariffs.Port of Los Angeles imports down by one-third.US Q1 economy shrank 0.3%; recession likely.Japan, China, South Korea meeting to discuss tariff responses; hold significant US debt. Japanese warning to US re: trade negotiations.[00:59:16 - 01:07:13] What Went Wrong for the Coalition? Answer: Everything.Gas Price Fixing Policy: Cobbled together, no consultation with industry (unlike Rudd's mining tax failure), potentially unconstitutional (taxing for benefit of some states over others).Work From Home Policy Disaster:Conceived by Jane Hume and Peter Dutton, no Shadow Cabinet consultation.Initial messaging: All Commonwealth public servants, then just Canberra.Jane Hume's media run: Claimed all WFH is 20% less productive, citing a study.Implied WFH employees are "bludgers," alienating a vast number of voters (including partners of tradies).Labor capitalized on this after door-knocking feedback. Policy eventually walked back.Defence Policy: Released in the last week, vague promise to spend 3% of GDP, no specifics on acquisitions. Andrew Hastie (Shadow Defence) reportedly wants out of the portfolio.Fuel Excise Policy: Halving fuel excise for a year. Took a week for Dutton to do a photo-op at a service station. Fuel prices had already dropped.Melbourne Airport Rail Link Funding: Announced at a winery.Vehicle Emissions Policy: Clarifications issued within 48 hours.Generally a shambolic campaign, studied for years to come.[01:07:13 - 01:08:55] The Nationals & Nuclear Policy FalloutNats trying to spin a better result than Libs, but didn't win Calare (Andrew Gee back as Indy).Nuclear Policy: Coalition embarrassed to discuss it. Nats insist on keeping it.Policy originated as a way for Libs to get Nats to support Net Zero by 2050.Massive costs and timelines: Hinkley Point C (UK) example – 65 billion pounds, years of delays. US Georgia plant similar.Legislative hurdles: Repealing Howard-era ban, state-level bans (even LNP QLD Premier Chris O'Fooley against it).State-funded, "socialist" approach due to lack of private investment.[01:08:55 - 01:15:49] Coalition Campaign Failures & SpokespeopleDebate on government vs. private industry running power.Lack of effective Coalition spokespeople: Susan Ley sidelined, Jane Hume promoted. Angus Taylor perceived as lazy.Angus Taylor's past water license scandal ("Australia's Watergate," Cayman Islands structure).[01:15:49 - 01:28:03] Demographics: A Tide Against the LiberalsWomen: Voted ~58-42 for Labor (two-party preferred), worse than under Morrison. Libs failed to address issues like climate, domestic violence.Language Other Than English at Home (LOTE): 60% backed Labor (Redbridge polling, Cos Samaras). Indian and Chinese diaspora significant, impacting Deakin and Menzies (Keith Wallahan, a moderate, lost Menzies).Gen Z & Millennials (18-45): Now outnumber Baby Boomers (60+), voted 60-40 Labor (TPP).Preferencing: Labor "gamed the system well"; Liberals' deal with One Nation backfired in messaging to urban areas.Strategy Failure: Liberals walked away from "heartland" Teal-lost seats, wrongly believing voters were wrong. Dutton's 2023 claim of Libs being "party of regional Australia" failed. No connection or network in targeted outer-suburban/regional seats.Female Pre-selection: Aspiration of 50% in 2019, achieved 34% in 2025. "Male, white, middle-class, mediocre."Sarah Henderson Example: Lost Corangamite in 2019, returned via Senate vacancy. Criticized as a "waste of space," arrogant for seeking re-entry.Both parties have taken safe seats for granted (factional gifts), but Labor learning. Example: Batman (now Cooper, Jed Carney) won back from Greens after better candidate selection.[01:28:03 - 01:36:42] Fond Farewells: Election CasualtiesPeter Dutton: Lost his seat of Dickson (held 20+ years), got "smashed." Likely preferred losing seat to facing party room fallout. Gracious concession speech. Australia's strong electoral process praised (democracy sausage, volunteers, AEC, peaceful concession).Michael Sukkar (Deakin, VIC): "Unpleasant piece of work."Recount of February incident: Sukkar, at Dutton's prompting, used a point of order to cut off Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus (Jewish) during an emotional speech about anti-Semitism and his family's Holocaust connection (Shiloh story). Dreyfus called Sukkar "disgusting." Sukkar moved "that the member no longer be heard." Widely condemned.Gerard Rennick (QLD Senator): Anti-COVID vaccine, spread misinformation (diabetes, dementia links). Jack recounts being attacked by Rennick's "poison monkeys" on X after writing about it. Rennick gone, likely self-funded much of his campaign.(Part 2 - Timestamps restart from 00:00:00 but are a continuation, add ~1 hour 36 mins 50 secs to these for continuous flow)[01:36:50 - 01:44:07] The Fractured Hard Right ("Cookers") - Dismal PerformanceGenerally went nowhere electorally.UAP (United Australia Party) / Trumpeter Patriots (John Ruddock): 2.38% in NSW Senate (down from UAP's 3.2% in 2022). Less money spent than previous Clive Palmer campaigns.Libertarian Democrats (Lib Dems): 1.99% in NSW Senate. Controversial name didn't help. Alliance with H.A.R.T (formerly IMOP, Michael O'Neill) and Gerard Rennick's People First Party.Monica Smit's calls to "unite" contrasted with these groups already forming alliances without her.These three parties combined got less than 2% in NSW. Lib Dems

The balance of power seems to be shifting in Australian politics. There was a shock U-turn in the polls ahead of the election, with Anthony Albanese and the Labor Party suddenly pulling out in front. It now seems likely the party will secure a second term. Independent Member for Warringah, Zali Steggall told Ryan Bridge confidence in major parties keeps decreasing, and there's an increased interest in independent candidates as a result. Although convention in parliament has evolved towards party politics, Steggall says the Australian constitution actually allows for a model of parliament in which legislation is tackled on its own merits.

A heated sitting fortnight has prompted fresh debate about the tone of parliamentary conduct, and why independents and women seem to cop it the worst. Independent MPs Zali Steggall and Dr Sophie Scamps call time on poor question time behaviour

The debate over whether Australia should be granting visas to Palestinians from Gaza has been getting pretty heated. In part it's turned into a row over what is and isn't racist. Opposition Leader Peter Dutton says we need a ban because of a security risk posed by people from that war zone. But with 1300 people having already managed to reach Australia and others being granted permission to come, is there really any danger? Today, the ABC's Patricia Karvelas discusses the policy and the politics.Featured: Patricia Karvelas, host of Radio National Breakfast and the Party Room podcast

IS THE GEN Z BACKLASH JUSTIFIED? AND THE COOK BY-ELECTION COMMANDING THE NARRATIVE EPISODE 16 The political animals are back, as Steven Tripp, Richard Storch and Sam Buono analyse the current political landscape. First stop is Steven's recently published article in The Spectator Australia and Facts4EU.org, in which he defends Gen Z against the narrative of them being entitled and lazy. Considering the intergenerational theft that has taken place due to uncontrolled Government spending, Steven asks, ‘where is the incentive for Gen Z to work hard?' Read it here > https://facts4eu.org/news/2024_apr_our_young_people Next, Richard and Sam recount their ‘on-the-ground' experiences of the recent Cook by-election and evaluate the positive take aways from the result for the Liberal Party.

Independent member for Warringah, Zali Steggall discusses her unusual path to politics and election integrity. Among all the commentary about the ‘teal wave' in the 2022 federal election, how has the presence of more independent candidates in Australia's chambers of power changed the status quo of politics? And what more needs to change? In the face of scare campaigns from both major parties, how can we make sure claims made on the campaign trail by candidates or third-party campaign groups are based in truth? And how can we reform campaign financing laws in ways that ensure transparent donations – for both independents and candidates from the major parties? On this episode of Democracy Sausage, Independent MP and the “OG Teal” joins frequent guest Professor Paul Pickering and Professor Mark Kenny to discuss her journey as an independent candidate and how to make Australian elections fairer and more transparent. Zali Steggall is the independent member for Warringah.

People in China are spending nearly $8m a day on Australian property – vastly more than buyers from anywhere else in the world – but the true levels of real estate purchases by foreigners are likely much higher, a leading expert claims. Victorian taxpayers are facing potentially billions in damages and a massive hit to its title as the nation's sporting capital after it sensationally cancelled the Commonwealth Games citing mounting cost blowouts. Teal indpendent Zali Steggall is under pressure in her own electorate, according to internal Liberal party polling seen by The Daily Telegraph which suggests voters have been turned off by the federal MP's anti-nuclear stance as well as her failure to deliver government investment to the area. The Qld state government is being urged to make a minor change to its planning regulation to spare investors being slugged up to $80,000 in council fees and potentially blocking the creation of hundreds of affordable homes. A SA government spokesman said that while the decision will be “deeply disappointing for athletes and supporters of the Commonwealth Games” the government will not put its hand up to host.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today we have a big ‘first' for this podcast, our first Olympic medallist! However Zali Steggall, Olympian, barrister and now an independent member of parliament in Australia is so much more than these labels!Last year, Zali was re-elected to Federal Parliament after a stunning and, for some, an astonishing victory in the same seat at the previous election, three years earlier. Zali really is a pioneer (and winner) in so many fields: she was Australia's first ever individual medallist and first Australian female medallist at a Winter Olympic Games. Plus, when she won the World Championship slalom skiing event a year later in 1999, she became the first ever person from the southern hemisphere ever to win that event. Not one to do anything by halves, when Zali was first elected as a member of Parliament in 2019 she defeated a former Prime Minister! What's more, she did all this as an independent candidate with no big political party to support her, however she had an army of enthusiastic supporters and volunteers. In this episode you'll hear: The key things Zali learnt from her Olympic skiing career that still serve her well todayZali's strategies for dealing with the fear of failure How she made the transition from being a competitive skier to becoming a barrister Why Zali decided to enter the competitive and often antagonistic world of politicsHow she deals with negativity and criticism; and The one thing she wants you to walk away with. Zali truly has unique stories, experiences and advice to share so enjoy this episode with the indefatigable and purposeful Zali Steggall.*For full transparency, Greta worked pro bono on Zali's re-election campaign last year for several months.Useful LinksZali's website:Amazon link to Zali's mum's book Alpine Beach: (it's an e book) Hosted on Acast.

Also, Greens leader Adam Brandt has called on the Albanese Labor Government to end its coal and gas exploitation, while the government's Energy and Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen told RN Breakfast that a "Blanket ban" on coal and gas would be "irresponsible". --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/robert-mclean/message

À l'ombre des deux principales formations politiques, les Verts et les candidats indépendants font une percée à l'approche des élections fédérales. Ceux-là partagent une ambition commune : remporter suffisamment de sièges au Parlement pour qu'aucun des grands partis n'obtienne la majorité absolue, et user de cette position de force pour les contraindre à lutter plus résolument contre le réchauffement climatique. De notre correspondant à Sydney, Ce matin, il n'y a pas une, mais deux candidates aux élections législatives qui se rassemblent dans le nord de Sydney, pour tenir un meeting commun. Elles font toutes les deux partie d'un mouvement baptisé les Indépendants bleu canard, dont les représentants ont de nombreux points communs. Ce sont des femmes, elles se présentent dans des fiefs de la droite australienne et ont fait de la crise climatique le cœur de leur engagement politique. C'est ce qui a convaincu Léonard de les soutenir. « Pour moi, la priorité absolue, c'est l'action climatique. J'ai des enfants, de 8 et 10 ans, et je me morfonds quotidiennement en pensant au monde que je vais leur laisser », confie-t-il. Léonard compte voter pour Zali Steggall, devenue députée, il y a trois ans en l'emportant face à un ancien Premier ministre, Tony Abbott, dans un quartier où il était élu depuis 25 ans. Un exploit qui a inspiré cette année plusieurs autres candidates à se lancer. C'est le cas par exemple de Kylea Tink. Elle se présente dans une circonscription de Sydney où l'on vote pour le Parti libéral depuis plus de 100 ans. Et pourtant, elle est donnée gagnante. Car même dans ces circonscriptions conservatrices, la question du climat est devenue centrale. « L'Australie est à la traîne du reste du monde et ce ne devrait pas être le cas, déplore Kylea Tink. Nous avons plus de ressources durables et renouvelables que n'importe quel autre pays et pourtant, notre gouvernement est l'un des plus lents à s'écarter des énergies fossiles. » Le climat, enjeu brûlant des élections Au moins cinq candidates indépendantes pourraient l'emporter le 21 mai. Zali Steggall s'en félicite : « J'espère que cette élection sera un moment charnière de la politique australienne qui nous permettra d'amorcer un vrai changement. » Ces indépendants menaçant le Parti libéral, dont le Premier ministre Scott Morrison est le chef de file. C'est l'un des facteurs qui pourrait contribuer à une victoire du Parti travailliste. Ces derniers promettent d'agir plus résolument contre le réchauffement climatique, en s'engageant par exemple à réduire les émissions de gaz à effet de serre de 43% d'ici à 2030. Mais dans le même temps, ils veulent continuer à développer le secteur du charbon, dont l'Australie est le premier exportateur mondial. Pour le parti des Verts, qui a également le vent en poupe, il est indispensable d'aller plus loin. Ils espèrent que les travaillistes l'emporteront, mais sans obtenir la majorité absolue au Parlement. Ce qui permettrait aux Verts de les contraindre à prendre des mesures plus radicales en faveur du climat. « Nous souhaitons être à l'équilibre du pouvoir, afin de pousser le prochain gouvernement à aller plus vite et plus loin face à la crise climatique, et empêcher l'ouverture de nouvelles mines de charbon et de gaz. » La question du changement climatique est en tout cas la priorité des Australiens, d'après une enquête d'opinion récente. ► À lire aussi : La plus grande centrale électrique à charbon d'Australie va fermer avec sept ans d'avance

Happy Easter listners! I celebrated Easter Monday by day drinking and then recording a podcast - but thanks to the magic of audio editing, you can barely tell! Not many tin cracks this week folks, I came into this one hot. Despite this severe handicap we managed to cover the claims of election fraud from cookers and their dopey plans to use stat decs to prove it. What? Elon Musk is playing sillybuggers with the SEC and getting called out for it. In the rabbithole we look at the independents that are going to properly shake up this election. Some of them look like they are in for a chance in some of the safest liberal party seats in the country. And as Zali Steggall showed us, once they have them it's bloody hard to get them back. Oh yeah and Pete falls off his lawnmower. Enjoy!

For the second time in 24 hours NSW SES issued an evacuation order for part of Manly, which included Zali Steggall's office. But with the current frequency of the floods in Australia, are descriptions like 'unprecedented' and 'once in a hundred years' becoming redundant?

The government goes for broke on national security, throwing everything it can at Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese. Meanwhile, the issue of political integrity returns as donations to Zali Steggall come under the microscope, and the Liberals have a state by-election scare. SMH/The Age Chief Political Correspondent David Crowe joins PK and Fran this week.

2 decades ago Mark Kelly thought globally, but acted locally, creating then building up his Global Surf Industries by appealing to the mass market of beginner & intermediate surfers rather than world champs; and offering customers certainty of supply and consistently good quality brand surf and paddle boards. GSI flourished to become a major supplier of boards in some 74 countries around the world. Along the way, Mark Kelly became a political activist, without really meaning to, by thinking locally, and acting globally. In 2018 he began a small local grassroots campaign, on a closed Facebook group, with the catchy title “Vote Tony Out”. The “Tony” being former Prime Minister Tony Abbott, and the campaign's aim was to vote Tony Abbott out as the federal Member for the seat of Warringah. Gutsy? Yes. Provocative? Certainly. Successful? Yes.  What Kelly ended up building was a community-based political campaign, via savvy use of social media and yes, old-fashioned t-shirt sales, that helped turf Tony Abbott out of the federal seat he'd held for a quarter of a century. Kelly's campaign also boosted the new Independent candidate, now sitting MP, Zali Steggall. In Part 2 of our chat this week, find out how exactly Mark built a successful political campaign, from scratch, and helped usher in the new wave of Independents!  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Climactic thanks the Impact Studios team for allowing us to share this five-part series with you. The devastating effects of the 2019-2020 bushfires saw Australian communities ravaged by the impacts of climate change. Many viewed the tragedy as a long overdue wake-up call, and one that should spur rapid action to address the ecological challenges facing us. But as the ash settles, what will the next steps for climate policy look like in an Australia reeling from a catastrophic fire season? In this not to be missed conversation, hear from UTS industry professor Bob Carr who is joined by Independent MP for Warringah, Zali Steggall OAM, elected in 2019 on a platform of pursuing national climate action. Zali is joined by Martijn Wilder, a world leader in climate law and sustainable investing who believes Australia could lead the way in the race to decarbonise. UTS 4 Climate is a five-part podcast series bringing together leading thinkers from politics, economics, science and journalism to continue the conversation on climate change. This audio series creates a space to explore climate change from all angles and find practical answers to what we can do to address the climate crisis and secure our futures. The series is hosted by marine science student Erika Wagner, who works at the Institute for Sustainable Futures.
