Key Points:

In an apparent attempt to “talk across the political divide”, former chancellor George Osborne and former shadow chancellor Ed Balls have launched a podcast.
Political Currency has been billed as a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the rooms and minds where the key decisions are made.
It hasn’t taken long for the two men to use the podcast to celebrate their joint achievements.
So, things which are contested can become consensual and when people agree, that is often how our county moves forward.
And yet poverty itself has so far only been mentioned once on the podcast, around halfway through episode one.

Listen to the ‘grown-ups’

They appear very happy with the current state of British politics and the people in charge.
For them, in 2023, the grown-ups are back in charge again – and that includes their gaining air time.
We forced our opponents to change their minds.” There is an older parallel to be drawn, too.

Why the Voice could be a bulwark against Trumpism gaining a stronger foothold in Australia

As former Labor minister Barry Jones has wisely noted, the Voice referendum feels like 2016 all over again.

Key Points:

As former Labor minister Barry Jones has wisely noted, the Voice referendum feels like 2016 all over again.
The only consolation was that Trump did not win a majority of votes in the United States.
Maybe the Voice will prevail, as Senator Pat Dodson says:
I believe Australians are better than this.

A campaign defined by fear-mongering

Anthony Albanese has said there is “nothing scary, nothing to be fearful of here”.
Liberal Party politicians have been warned that those who support the Voice will lose their pre-selection for seats in parliament.
Former ACT Chief Minister Kate Carnell has said
This has been politicised to the point that people aren’t comfortable to campaign for what they believe in because of the politics.
This has been politicised to the point that people aren’t comfortable to campaign for what they believe in because of the politics.

How Trump’s messages seep into Australia

If he returns to power, Australia will undoubtedly see a steady flood of these messages via his social media posts and pronouncements from the Oval Office.
“Law and order” will be a recurrent theme in the 2024 presidential election, should Trump be the Republican candidate again.
Trump supporters in Australia, including some who hold or aspire to public office, will pick up those messages and propagate them here.

Why the Voice could insulate Australia from Trumpism

The existence of the Voice will mean that Trumpism is unlikely to derail what the body is intended to achieve.
The victorious opponents of the Voice, with their echoes of Trumpism, will be poised to keep advancing their agenda.
As George Megalogenis recently concluded, “A ‘no’ vote would revive both the colonial ghost of dispossession and the federation ghost of the White Australia policy.” That would be a victory for Trumpism in Australia, even before Trump’s fate is decided next year by voters in America.
