To paraphrase Bob Hawke:
“If the answer is Andrew Hastie it must have been a bloody stupid question.”
Hastie is the latest chapter in the demise of the Liberal Party, and it’s painful to watch. Or maybe not. Analysis from New Politics. @dlew919.bsky.social #AUSPOL
open.substack.com/pub/newpolit...
The Liberal Party’s collapse and the Ley–Hastie syndrome
The problems for the Liberal Party are going to get worse before they dissipate, but there issues the Labor government needs to be wary of in the splintering conservative base.

The National Press Club shoots the messenger and cancels Chris Hedges, and instead of speaking truth to power, becomes a part of the establishment that it’s meant to hold to account. The Monday Essay from New Politics. #AUSPOL #NPC open.substack.com/pub/newpolit...
The National Press Club shoots the messenger
The Club shows itself to be just another weak symbol of timidity, a gatekeeper of acceptable speech rather than a defender of free expression.

This is what happens when war criminals design a peace plan – the worst peace plan since the last one - the latest analysis from New Politics. READ, SHARE, SUBSCRIBE. #AUSPOL #GazaPeacePlan open.substack.com/pub/newpolit...
The grand illusion of a peace plan
Trump and Netanyahu call it a “peace plan” for Gaza – but it’s been created without Palestinians and is a perfect piece of performative politics. And, it’s designed to fail.

There’s been talk about the decay of the US for some time, but this time for real? Probably. And it’s not just because of Trump. The Monday Essay from New Politics. READ, SHARE, SUBSCRIBE. @dlew919.bsky.social #AUSPOL #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice
open.substack.com/pub/newpolit...
The signs of a US empire in decay
For middle powers such as Australia, a shift away from a decaying US will require more maturity and going through its own process of “decolonising the mind”.

Silencing the panel: How a children’s hospital folded to extremism
The more extreme and unreasonable the demands from ideologically-driven lobby groups become, the more they alienate the mainstream public and will eventually lose out.

The Monday Essay from New Politics – the cascading danger of climate change. What governments are proposing won’t be anywhere enough to stop the damaging effects of climate change. @dlew919.bsky.social #AUSPOL open.substack.com/pub/newpolit...
The cascading danger of climate change
Australia must decide which side of history it wants to occupy: to contribute to solutions, or be remembered as a country that chose short-term expedience over long-term survival.

The line in the sand at Doha
The Arab-Islamic summit made it clear that there can’t be any business as usual while Israel continues its campaign of genocide in Gaza and the violation of international law.

“What sort of government is that?” asked Penny Wong of the Morrison government in 2019 when he did a secret deal with Nauru. It’s the same government we have now – secretive, silencing, and cowardly. Latest analysis from New Politics. @dlew919.bsky.social #AUSPOL open.substack.com/pub/newpolit...
The quiet erosion of transparency in Australia
We hoped for something much better after the damning years of the Morrison government but it all just seems to be slipping away, ever so quietly.

The government sets immigration levels according to what Australia’s economic needs are. Why else would they do this?And would you want people who know nothing about immigration making decisions about it? Who’s going to serve up your coffee? Round up shopping trolleys? Perform colonoscopies?

From Knesset to Council Chambers: Think global, influence local. The Antisemitic Summit was all about consolidating right-wing influence, it had nothing to do with protecting the Jewish community. The Monday Essay from New Politics. @dlew919.bsky.social #AUSPOL open.substack.com/pub/newpolit...
From Knesset to Council Chambers: Think global, influence local
Local political leaders will have to explain why they sided with influence peddlers and propaganda merchants instead of defending democratic principles and fighting against genuine antisemitism.

A nation divided by the white nostalgia that never was
Australia risks normalising extremism and allowing a distorted nostalgia for a country that never was, to shape the one that actually exists.

The sinking credibility of ASIO
This won’t be remembered as a principled defence of Australia’s sovereignty, but as a moment when intelligence was used as a political weapon, with the truth left far behind.
