For decades, the world has turned away from the suffering of the Palestinian people. From 2023 through to 2025, that silence became complicity. The Shadow Over Palestine reveals how Australia - a nation that helped found the United Nations and once prided itself on fairness and justice - became an echo chamber for power, lobbyists and media spin while Gaza was reduced to rubble. Eddy Jokovich and David Lewis - journalists, political analysts and hosts of the acclaimed New Politics podcast - trace how Australian leaders, from Parliament to the press gallery, justified the indefensible. With clarity and courage, they expose the double standards that define Western responses to the war: the bans on language, the silencing of dissenting journalists, the performative outrage of politicians, and the quiet obedience to Washington and Tel Aviv. Combining original reporting, historical context and moral insight, The Shadow Over Palestine documents a turning point in Australian political culture - a reckoning with truth, conscience, and the limits of alliance. This is not only a story about Palestine: it's a story about who we have become, and whether our democracy still has the courage to speak for the powerless.

When the coronavirus arrived in early 2020, an anxious electorate threw its support behind Scott Morrison to guide Australia through the pandemic, leaving the Labor Party behind in a sea of irrelevance and Anthony Albanese with the role of political bit-player who could only watch from the sidelines, and hope that his political fortunes would change. At the time, Morrison held record high electoral ratings and Albanese was told to not worry about the next election: it was already out of reach and best to focus on the 2025 election and beyond. Labor appeared to be doomed to yet another extended time in opposition and were left wondering when they could ever return to office again.In 2022, Labor saw an opportunity: Morrison had made promises that he ultimately couldn't deliver and couldn't effectively deliver on the issues that should have been delivered. He was more intent on photo opportunities than the practice of good government and his leadership and government started to unravel, and it unravelled quickly. Diary of An Election Victory explores the key political moments of the 2022 election year, Morrison's demise, and Albanese's ascendancy and victory against the odds. It's a must-read analysis of one of the most dynamic and unusual election results ever in Australia's political history.
