Episode 132 – Red wedding

In this episode, Andy and Roger grapple with the fallout from Australia’s federal election, likening the Coalition’s crushing defeat to a political "Red Wedding." The mood is both sombre and sharp as they dissect why the Albanese Labor government cruised to a landslide win — and why that victory feels, to some, undeserved.

They reflect on the fate of Peter Dutton’s Coalition and the looming impact of MAGA and Trump. Together, they explore the fragmentation of the Coalition’s "broad church," the rise of the Teal independents, and whether Australian politics risks becoming stagnant in the face of dominant majorities.

The duo also muses on the challenges facing the opposition: should they embrace radical change or attempt to rebuild a fractured centre-right? And did Labor really romp in the vote? What does their low primary vote mean for its future direction — emboldenment or caution?

If you’ve ever wondered what a post-election hangover sounds like, this is it.
