Future Perfect: 2025 In Federal Politics

Dylan Bird is joined by Amy Remeikis, Contributing Editor at The New Daily, to take a look back at the year in federal politics, including new environmental laws, gambling reform, Labor’s incremental approach to change, the Coalition’s increasing instigation of immigration culture wars, and what to expect in 2026.

“Anthony Albanese has repeatedly said that he wants to see Labor become the natural party of Australia. I would say that in doing so, Labor has unhooked from that movement that has always sustained it; from that political worker’s movement underneath it, and it is now seriously all about the politics.”
