The Party Line Podcast

Episode 44 - The Party Line on why Hanson and Reform UK keep winningThis weekend saw two important elections take place, one in Farrer (not an important place), and one in the United Kingdom (only slightly more important). The results in both cases saw big swings to the far right and fascists. Hanson’s candidate in Farrer (a very populist, anti-system agribusiness executive) won a huge victory, with some booths returning around 70% support for One Nation. This has been used by the political establishment to call for the Liberals turning even further to the right. Meanwhile Albanese and the Labor party have begun attacking Hanson, but have no credibility given their appalling, right-wing government has done nothing to push back on the economic and social crises facing working class people. So a socialist left is needed. Meanwhile in the UK Nigel Farage and his band of merry far-right freaks have triumphed in the council elections, with huge wins across the board. What does this mean for British politics? And is the rise of Zach Polanski’s Greens a sufficient response? All will be revealed if you take the time to listen.Readings: We have to fight, not accommodate, One Nation and the far right James Butler · (UK) Labour’s Failure Hosted by Jordan van den Lamb (@purplepingers), Anneke Demanuele and Omar Hassan.

We start by looking at the terrible situation in Lebanon and Iran, after America and Israel’s war on the region continues into its third month. Including stories about Iranian kids being murdered in double-tap strikes. This sets the scene for a discussion about the disgraceful Royal Commission that has now entered its second phase, a topsy-turvy world where victims of genocide (and their supporters) are being investigated for our supposed racism while those who defend and support war crimes and mass slaughter put us on the dock. (Reminder, the Bondi killers had absolutely nothing to do with the Palestine movement, and our movement has always opposed antisemitism along with all forms of racism). We analyse some of the appalling contributions already made by senior figures in the pro-Israel lobby, and remind ourselves that none of this would be happening without Labor’s decision to call the Royal Commission in the first place.Hosted by Jordan van den Lamb (@purplepingers), Anneke Demanuele and Omar Hassan.

Episode 40 - The Party Line on Labor’s savage NDIS cutsThis week we are joined by friend of the pod Simone, who has been a social worker for 25 years to discuss the savage cuts to NDIS Labor has announced this week. The NDIS ushered in a pro-market perspective on health. The market operates in the disability sector, meaning people with disabilities are shunted around and providers make bank. Labor has money for war budgets but won’t spend money on people with needs. We also discuss Collingwood’s anti-war stance (crushing Essendon) and the support shown for Ben Roberts Smith at the dawn service. Readings: People with disabilities need free universal health care, not the NDISNDIS falls victim to familiar scare tactics – while untouchables roll on | The PointVictorian Liberals to preference One Nation at state electionThe manosphere is obsessed with Pilates.

Episode 38 - The Party Line on Victor Orban’s defeat in Hungary ft Rob NaraiA short and sharp one this time, as the Party Line debriefs the spectacular defeat of Viktor Orban in Hungary. As the leader of Hungary since 2010, Orban has been one of the key figures strengthening and promoting far right politics across the world. His government promoted antisemitic, anti-LGBTQ, anti-migrant tropes aggressively, and ran an increasingly authoritarian government stacked with far-right stooges. As well, his time in office has seen the rich in Hungary - particularly his close mates - increase their wealth enormously, while workers and the poor have suffered. What next for Hungary? And what does this Peter Magyar fellow stand for anyway? The pod wanted to answer these questions, but we quickly realised we didn’t know very much about Hungary. So we invited a genuine Hungarian, Rob Nari, to tell us all about it.Hosted by Jordan van den Lamb (@purplepingers), Anneke Demanuele and Omar Hassan.

The crew went to Marxism 2026, alongside MANY others. We broke the mould of smart and serious talks to present a bullshit heavy episode of the party line. Join us for a game of “defamation or definitely”, where we guess if Anneke has made up stories or if rich men are actually just psychos.

On Tuesday the 24th, 30,000 teachers and education support workers went on strike demanding higher pay and better conditions. This was the first strike of AEU members since 2013. Teachers in Victoria are among the worst paid in the country. They’re expected to work full weeks and do marking and lesson planning for free, in their own time. Anneke and Omar (with a brief cameo from Jordan) interviewed teachers, socialists, parents and unionists who came to stand up for teachers, educators and education support staff. The Victorian Labor government is offering workers peanuts when they deserve the world.

Episode 32 - The Party Line on why capitalism needs war and empireWe had a request for more socialist theory, so this ep delivers some classic marxist content in classic party line style (which is not very theoretical). The concept of imperialism has been widely discussed following Israel’s genocide in Gaza and the more recent US-Israeli assault on Iran and Lebanon. We argued last week that it wasn’t about Trump’s foibles, still less Epstein files, but about profit, power and empire. This week we unpack why countries go to war, what tools they use to compete, how it evolves directly from capitalist competition in the marketplace, and why only socialism can end war for good. We also take a look at why tankies and stalinists are wrong to defend bourgeois dictatorships that happen to be opposed to the US for whatever reason (looking at Russia, China, Iran, etc here). Shout out to the PSL and the FRSP in the US for being some of the most toxic propagators of this reactionary theory that is unfortunately spreading across the world at this moment.  Readings:Understanding war: Lenin’s 'Imperialism: The Highest Stage of Capitalism'Lenin and Bukharin on imperialism Huge thanks to our tireless editors Charlie Wardrop and Persephone Waxman, and our content editor Charlotte Tavan.While we will always release our content for free, please support us on patreon if you can.*****************This is a podcast by members of the Socialist Party in Naarm (Melbourne).

Episode 30 - The Party Line on Trump and Israel’s war on the Middle EastAnneke is sick this week, so Jordy and Omar decided to ditch her in favour of our Footscray candidate, Jasmine Duff. Is it an upgrade? You decide. (But seriously, send Anneke some love in the comments section please). This episode is all about the murderous war of choice that the US and Israel have initiated on Iran and now Lebanon. With over a thousand killed in Iran and 400 in Lebanon in just a week, the war is shaping to be a deadly one. As well, it now involves most of the region, with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain and the UAE all involved. Why is this war happening? Some believe it’s all a distraction from the Epstein Files - we think that’s total rubbish - and that the war is about entrenching US hegemony across the highly strategic region. We then explore the Australian government’s response, which has involved supporting the war politically, having soldiers on the submarine that killed nearly 100 Iranian soldiers, and now potentially sending troops to help ‘defend’ the reactionary Gulf Monarchies. Plus some headlines about Palantir, Cathy Wilcox, social democracy in New Zealand, Kristi Noem killing her dog, Asio collaboration with Israel, and more. Readings:Stop the war, break the US alliance, resist capitalist barbarism | Red FlagIran war: A new phase of imperialist onslaught Huge thanks to our tireless editors Charlie Wardrop and Persephone Waxman, and our content editor Charlotte Tavan.While we will always release our content for free, please support us on patreon if you can.*****************This is a podcast by members of the Socialist Party in Naarm (Melbourne).

Episode 28 - The Party Line LiveThe Party Line's first ever live show was all set to go, packed with hilarity, interactivity and lots and lots of bullshit, before it was rudely interrupted by a brazen act of US and Israeli imperialism. As such we spent the first half of the ep discussing the very non-funny war, and how the left should oppose the US aggression without becoming defenders of a reactionary theocratic monarchy (sorry tankie morons). So it starts with heavy stuff, including pointing out the hypocrisy of Vance and Trump's so-called 'isolationism' and hostility to 'forever wars', and we're grateful for our audience for sticking with us. The second half of the show was more interactive, with our editor Charlie hosting a 'Reverse Albo' segment (where Grace Tame was called difficult once again),  a look at some unbelievable headlines from the last few weeks, as well as some special guest appearances.Huge thanks to our tireless editors Charlie Wardrop and Persephone Waxman, and our content editor Charlotte TavanWhile we will always release our content for free, please support us on patreon if you can.*****************This is a podcast by members of the Socialist Party in Naarm (Melbourne).

This week the crew talks to Jerome Small, a former construction worker and union militant about the bogus claims that the CFMEU stole $15 billion from the public purse. We discuss the lack of rank and file control in the union movement, due to both the leadership of the unions and the government attacks on union rights. In the headlines we look at the “economist community” and the highs and lows of the insights they offer us. Party Line Live tickets: https://events.humanitix.com/the-party-line-podcast-live-9jvxqwyy  Huge thanks to our tireless editors Charlie Wardrop and Persephone Waxman, and our content editor Charlotte TavanWhile we will always release our content for free, please support us on patreon if you can.*******This is a podcast by members of the Socialist Party in Naarm (Melbourne).

Episode 24 - The Party Line on the horrible history of Angus TaylorAustralia’s “most qualified idiot” has just become the leader of the Coalition, and a lot of people are wondering who he is. The Party Line is here to help. We do a deep dive into the history of this man, including his lowly upbringing on an enormous sheep station, the many challenges he overcame as a boarder at Kings College and Oxford, his joy at becoming a partner at McKinsey consultancy firm, and his eventual rise to the top of Australia’s most dysfunctional and despised political party.

Episode 22 - The Party Line on the resistance to Herzog visit and The Epstein Files Omar is looking dashing this episode, with a bright vest to cheer us up. Speaking of cheer, we take a look at the excellent fighting skills of young kids in America against a racist MAGA man. With Herzog touching down in Australia on Monday, the crew discuss the repression coming from NSW police, the massive protests expected to take place and the role Socialist Party members across the country have played in organising and promoting the actions. We then hear from WAsoc member Clare Francis about the successful party conference in Perth. Finally, the team then discusses the vile Epstein files and what it shows you about the nature of the ruling class under capitalism. In particular we look at Lord Mendelson, Bill Clinton, Noam Chomsky and Ehud Barak. Stay tuned to the end for some book recommendations to help fuel the fight against women’s oppression. Headlines: Bunnings tiny homes: Hardware giant to sell $45,000 studios amid housing crisisPrivate schools: Should Australian taxpayers subsidise high-fee institutions?‘Have a smarter baby’: Australians choosing embryos for IQ, height and hair colour Taylor forces plan spill this week as Hume savages LeyImmigration crisis triggers rate hike shock Recommended readings: Rebel Women, Ed.

Episode 20 - The Party Line on Hanson’s Invasion day antics and the Minneapolis uprising against ICEBullshit has been confirmed as an essential part of the pod by popular acclaim, and so this ep begins with a healthy serving. So we start by exploring Omar’s first experience of Jordan’s fame, the quality of flooring in the office, and other essential issues facing the nation. The headlines take another look at US imperialism in relation to both Venezuela and Iran, before looking at the unholy alliance of Coles and The Australian, and the impending collapse of the Nationals. The first of our main segments looks at the massive Invasion day demos around the country, the much smaller fascist mobilisations, and the literal bomb thrown at the Invasion day protest in Perth. We then look at the inspirational resistance to ICE in Minneapolis, where 3000 thugs have confronted tens of thousands of students, workers and activists standing against the violent deportations of migrants. The general strike on January 23 was a clear turning point, leading businesses to complain about the disruption and Trump to lead (a partial but much welcomed) RETREAT! As of now the struggle remains ongoing and we send our full solidarity to the people of Minneapolis.Huge thanks to our tireless editors Charlie Wardrop and Persephone Waxman, and special guest editor Auley Ryan.While we will always release our content for free, please support us on patreon if you can.*****************This is a podcast by members of the Socialist Party in Naarm (Melbourne).
