The Party Line on Herzog's Visit and the Resistable Rise of One Nation by Anneke Demanuele, Omar Sherrife & Jordan van den Lamb

Episode 21 - The Party Line on Herzog’s visit and the resist-able rise of One Nation ft Jasmine Duff This ep starts by returning to the US rebellion against ICE, which has now expanded to the national scale via the January 30 day of action. Cities across the country were shut down due to street protests, student walkouts, and various types of legal and wildcat (that is, illegal!) strike actions against ICE and the Trump administrations’ cruelty. We then invite the irrepressible Jasmine Duff on the pod to talk about the situation in Palestine ahead of the upcoming Herzog visit. Jasmine is both the excellent VS candidate for Footscray and the national co-convenor of Students for Palestine. Make sure you attend these vital protests that are taking place on the 9th of Feb in every city in Australia! We need to shut the whole country down when this criminal lands. Finally we take a detailed look at recent polling by Redbridge that found One Nation is now on a stunning 26%, well ahead of the Coalition on 19%. We look at why this despicably racist figure has become so popular and what the left can and should do about it.

We hope to bring a radical perspective to a podcast landscape dominated by insipid liberalism (looking at you, The Daily). The pod will come out weekly, and aims to breakdown news and current events from a socialist point of view. While a lot of what’s going on in the world is fairly bleak, The Party Line will try and highlight voices of resistance and struggle.
