  • Old politics, new perspectives

    Quite easily the most informed and clinical dissection of Australian politics in years. Every Saturday morning over coffee. #auspol

  • Superb poddy

    Incisive, considered and rawly real. Radar is always finely attuned to decency, arseholery and bullcrapery.

  • Love the show

    Great balanced reporting for once, love the podcast, thanks guys, and even though your ratings here are so trolled, it really just adds to your credibility that they feel they need to use such tactics (as they know their wishes cannot be justified in either sense or empiricism)

  • Progressive Political Perspective - with a pinch of conspiracy cynicism.

    A great podcast presented by two independent journalists. Their take on Australian politics is slanted heavily to the left making a good counterbalance to traditional media outlets. Some great insights and opinion, with cutting criticism of the major parties. Unfortunately, this can be marred at times with an obvious championing of progressive minor parties and independents with little to no critical analysis of their policies or rhetoric. The hosts also tend to dip their toes into the conspirac... more

  • Gaza is not hungry, it is staving to death.

    I was disappointed to hear the ongoing starvation of civilians by Israel as a ‘hunger crisis’ in the episode A year of delivery and censuring Gaza.

    It is not a hunger crisis it is the deliberate and calculated starvation of a civilian population by man who has been charged with committing war crimes.

    We need independent media to speak truth to power. I hope New Politics maintains its independence and avoids pleasant euphemisms when describing the horrific realities of immoral actors.
