The party line on public housing, MAGA liberals & strikes for Gaza

Following Jordy’s trip to a housing conference in WA, the pod takes a look at the crisis in public housing, before exploring the Liberal party shenanigans and Hastie’s relationship to Hanson and the far right. Plus we’ve invited two bonafide Italian socialists to talk through the inspirational general strikes that have happened there over the last few weeks. Che bello! PS. Make sure you join the October 12 National day of Protest for Palestine, wherever you may be.Email us!

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 subscribe on whatever podcast service you use, and share it with your friends, colleagues and comrades.
