Episode 27 - The Party Line on how Melbourne defeated Hanson last time Jerome Small joins the crew again to discuss the rise and fall of Hanson last time. Jerome was involved in the movement in Melbourne where people protested from Geelong to Echuca and everywhere in between. We discuss the political context in the 90s and what’s changed from them to now. Huge thanks to our tireless editors Charlie Wardrop and Persephone Waxman, and our content editor Charlotte TavanWhile we will always release our content for free, please support us on patreon if you can.*****************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). The pod will come out weekly, and aims to breakdown news and current events 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.If you like what you hear, please rate, subscribe and share with your friends, colleagues and comrades.

We need your help to build a fighting socialist movement that can take on both the far right and its centrist enablers.(The views and opinions expressed in our show are ours and ours alone, and do not reflect on the Socialist Party or Victorian Socialists.) This pod was produced on stolen land and we stand in solidarity with our Indigenous comrades in their ongoing fight against racism and capitalism.
