Guests: Parnell Palme McGuinness and Francis Leach

This week we discuss political tribalism, careers across media and politics. Labor passing budget measures, Allegra Spender’s protest, and AUKUS shifting to three used submarines and long timelines. AUKUS as deeper US integration, deterrence and sea-lane security, changing warfare via drones, nuclear sensitivities, and Australia’s energy and industrial strategy. We unpack Tony Abbott becoming Liberal Party president as potentially useful but risky for overshadowing leadership and demographics. We talk One Nation/Barnaby Joyce policy confusion, outsider vs insider politics, and end with our weekly predictions.
