Episode Description
In this episode, we’re chatting with Claire Harvey, Editorial Director at The Australian and host of The Front podcast, to look ahead at what’s on the political and news radar for 2026. We dive into the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's assassination and how it’s shaping US political discourse. Locally, we discuss the revelations regarding Iran’s IRGC activity in Australia, the response to the Bondi terror attack, and the social media ban. Plus, we look at upcoming state elections in South Australia and Victoria, and whether Barnaby Joyce’s move to One Nation could energise the populist right.
