The Review of 2025 Part 1: Culture wars, Treaty and the collapse of the politics of fear

To commence our review of the 2025 year in Australian federal politics, this bonus episode examines the continuing culture wars, the Australia Day and Invasion Day debate, and a federal election that dramatically reshaped the political landscape. We explore how Peter Dutton and conservative commentators attempted to weaponise “wokeness,” cancel culture and identity politics, why these tactics are increasingly ineffective, and how Victoria’s historic Treaty with First Nations people exposed the emptiness of Liberal Party scare campaigns. #AUSPOL
