Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

164 - SA election preview
Q: What explains the current Labor lead in SA polls according to the hosts?
They point to a combination of the incumbent Labor government's perceived competence and discipline, plus ongoing issues within the Liberal opposition, including leadership churn and scandals, which have eroded the alternative government narrative.
163 - Home ownership, renting and voting
Q: Has the importance of class and income level in voting behavior changed?
Yes, housing circumstances have become more important in determining economic security and voting behavior.
160 - One Nation surges in the polls
Q: What do you find interesting about how One Nation might affect the political landscape in Australia?
The presence of One Nation could lead to major shifts in public support and a realignment of conservative parties, potentially merging into one.
160 - One Nation surges in the polls
Q: Where are these new One Nation voters coming from?
The new voters primarily come from conservative voters who previously supported the coalition and some labor voters as well.
152 - Who will fill the Lambie vacuum?
Q: Do you think Labour has a pathway to form a majority government?
It's unlikely, especially as they would need a considerable swing in their favor to achieve that.
