In our continuing review of the 2025 year in Australian federal politics, we discuss the federal election held in May, analysing one of the worst campaigns by a major political party in modern history and the resulting collapse of the Liberal Party, including the loss of Peter Dutton’s seat. We examine how Anthony Albanese’s Labor government ran a cautious but disciplined campaign built on stability and competence, while the Coalition relied on fear, culture-war outrage and an implausible nuclear energy policy that drove its primary vote and seat count to historic lows, leaving the party stranded in political wilderness.We also look at Australia’s weak and deliberate silence on the genocide in Gaza during the campaign, Labor’s continued supply of military components to Israel, its refusal to impose sanctions, and the abandonment of core party principles under lobby pressure – and then go on to expose the growing influence of the Israel lobby across politics, media, universities and cultural institutions, and what this means for free speech, academic freedom, journalism and democratic accountability in Australia. #AUSPOL<b>Support New Politics, just $5 per month.</b><ul><li>Patreon: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/newpolitics" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.patreon.com/newpolitics</a></li><li>Substack: <a href="https://newpolitics.substack.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://newpolitics.substack.com</a></li></ul>
