We start with a development in Gaza, where the killing of Zomi Frankcom, an Australian working for the food charity World Central Kitchen, has sparked international controversy. Initially attributed to Hamas by Israeli forces, evidence later revealed the Israeli Defense Forces\u2019 actions were responsible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/widget.spreaker.com\/player?episode_id=59301082&amp;theme=light&amp;playlist=false&amp;playlist-continuous=false&amp;chapters-image=true&amp;episode_image_position=right&amp;hide-likes=false&amp;hide-comments=false&amp;hide-sharing=false&amp;hide-logo=false&amp;hide-download=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200px\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This incident has led to criticism of the Australian government&#8217;s response, or lack thereof, from Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Foreign Minister Penny Wong. Can the Australian government do more about the situation in Palestine? If genocide is being committed, of course there\u2019s more that can be done. Always. Especially when we consider all of the support Albanese offered to the cause of Palestine, earlier on in his parliamentary career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also touch on the complexities of proportional representation, spotlighted by the prolonged vote counting following Tasmania\u2019s state election. The Hare-Clark electoral system, while confusing to some, promotes fairer outcomes and coalition governance\u2014a principle we argue should be more widely adopted rather than abandoned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our discussion shifts to Australia&#8217;s domestic front, scrutinising the Labor government\u2019s proposed immigration legislation. These changes, giving the immigration minister increased powers and imposing minimum mandatory prison sentences for non-compliance with deportation processes, have been controversial. They signal a troubling trend towards increasingly draconian asylum seeker laws, perpetuating a cycle of harsh policies regardless of the governing party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, we critique the Liberal Party\u2019s recent preselection decisions, which continue to sideline women in favour of men, ignoring calls for greater gender diversity in political representation. This episode is packed with insights, expert opinions, and a call for more humane policies and government accountability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Song listing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>\u2018Dayvan Cowboy\u2019, Boards of Canada.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u2018Confessions Of A Window Cleaner\u2019, Ed Kuepper<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u2018Whisper\u2019, Coldplay.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u2018Wild\u2019, Spoon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u2018Praise You\u2019, Fat Boy Slim.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" id=\"block-3bc44166-3e34-4b1e-bb82-2844b2f93588\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"music-interludes\">Music interludes:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/A2zKARkpDW4?si=wJYzHyUqKWNBsqKk\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZhfJ75PSKOo?si=OPFW_XwNFz9FIBof\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TJ2hf36gqCY?si=SvNYoXwOh28RWtue\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eDPhsByCL_o?si=PYJ2pVcPVzPdf8N3\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BVOVMhQcwWQ?si=oNxNRXNzFoF8dzXS&amp;controls=0\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-e7c63c06-127e-425e-aaad-51ca8736627b\">Support independent journalism<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/newpolitics.com.au\/donate\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newpolitics.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Support-wp-advert.jpg?resize=800%2C200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4330\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newpolitics.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Support-wp-advert.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newpolitics.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Support-wp-advert.jpg?resize=300%2C75&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newpolitics.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Support-wp-advert.jpg?resize=768%2C192&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We don\u2019t plead, beseech, beg, guilt-trip, or gaslight you and claim the end of the world of journalism is coming soon.
