Can the politics of ‘nice’ finally break News Corp’s outrage machine?

ELECTIONS
Will Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s shiny “gentler, kinder politics” break News Corp? Or will News Corp, once again, triumph over the paradigm of nice? For the incoming government, it’s political. For News Corp, it’s existential. Every day, News Corp (and its Fox sibling) makes its money out of the outrage...

When will the Liberals work out how toxic Barnaby Joyce really is?

ELECTIONS
Bernard Keane writes in CrikeyHaving helped destroy a Coalition government, Barnaby Joyce now threatens to inflict immense damage on the Coalition — if there is to be one — in opposition.

Lessons from the teal seats

ELECTIONS
Simon Holmes à Court outlines the Lessons from the teal seatsThe phrase was coined by a volunteer for Sophie Scamps in Mackellar, but it was just as fitting in Kooyong or Goldstein or anywhere else that people were experiencing the optimism and satisfaction of engaging for the first time...

We didn’t turn left. We wised up

ELECTIONS
Peter Hartcher writes in The Sydney Morning Herald When an election is held, powerful explanations for victory and defeat form quickly. They will direct political behaviour for years.

Morrison’s boat turnback blitz on election day was his final act of political bastardry

ELECTIONS
Michael Bradley writes in Crikey It’s perfectly fitting that Scott Morrison’s final official act as prime minister should have been one of pure self-interested political bastardry at the expense of vulnerable people. Stick that on his headstone — it’s all he deserves. Instructing Border Force to publicise the turnback of an...

After-dark pundits want to push the Liberals further right. Let them

ELECTIONS
Guy Rundle writes in CrikeyThe proposition that’s been put out by the right, in the wake of its shellacking, is that the Coalition lost because it pandered to the teals in the inner cities. It should have been going to the suburbs and the fringe urban areas, the argument...

Time for change – the Attorney General and the AAT

ELECTIONS
Just before erstwhile Prime Minister Scott Morrison called Saturday’s election Senator Cash shamelessly appointed a number of Liberal and government members and staffers to the AAT where they will earn between around $190,000 to $380,000 a year.

The crossbench is dead. Greens and indies are a third force in Parliament

ELECTIONS
Guy Rundle writes in CrikeyWaking amid half-empty bottles, dried sick and dead roaches (figuratively and literally), and despite all efforts to remain jaded and louche, your correspondent regrets to report feelings of excitement, hope and possibilities.
