The Party Line on how Pauline Hanson is not a populist

Episode 39 - The Party Line on how Pauline Hanson is not a populist We don’t like Pauline Hanson. Like, really really really don’t like her. In fact, we think she’s scum. So this ep goes through some of her statements on migrants, muslims, Indigenous people, unions, and welfare. TLDR; she’s terrible on all of it. So we discuss all that and why, given those facts, she still gets described as a populist. We also have a chat with one of the people arrested for saying From the River to the Sea in Queensland. Headlines:A father’s sword and a mother’s love: The unwavering support of the Roberts-SmithsBen Roberts-Smith’s comrades say he ordered them to execute unarmed civilians, court documents show US tech firms successfully lobbied EU to keep datacentre emissions secret | Microsoft | The GuardianChalmers’ 5 budget tax changes explained (and our verdict) Pete Hegseth quoted a fake Bible verse from Pulp Fiction during a Pentagon sermonChris Minns’ anti-protest laws struck down.

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.
