The Party Line on how Labor lost Secret Harbour

Episode 63 - The Party Line on how Labor lost Secret Harbour

This ep looks at a number of crazy developments unfolding across the world, starting with Trump’s endless war on Iran and the continued cooptation of Venezuela and its oil. We then look at the social meaning of yet another death of a woman at the hands of a man, this time by strangulation - and the broader sexist attitudes that make this possible. After that we check out the massive profits being made by corporate America - especially, but not exclusively the AI companies. We also explore how workers are copping it both via the corresponding inflation (which everyone now admits is caused by corporate price rises) and by lower wages. Finally we look at One Nation’s momentum continues to build, with yet another big victory in a WA by election, and why it is that the Greens are absolutely unable to cut through despite the crisis in Australian politics.

Thanks for listening, remember to like and share and HYPE!

This is a podcast by members of the Socialist Party in Naarm (Melbourne). We hope to bring a radical perspective to a podcast landscape dominated by insipid liberalism (looking at you, The Daily) or Labor apologism (@friendlyjordies). The pod will come out weekly, and aims to breakdown news and current eventTs from a socialist point of view. While a lot of what’s going on in the world is fairly bleak, The Party Line will try and highlight voices of resistance and struggle.
