The politics of no sympathy for ‘IS families’ | Back to Back Barries podcast
Australian politics focuses on two evolving issues: the fate of women and children detained in a Syrian camp and the domestic rise of One Nation in recent polls. Debates center on whether Australia should repatriate or respond to those detained, with opinions divided over national security, humanitarian concerns, and legal responsibilities.
Separately, One Nation gains traction in polling, signaling potential shifts in the political landscape ahead of elections. The party’s messaging and public support are drawing attention to its stance on immigration, national security, and economic policy.
The episode also examines the future of the capital gains tax, weighing potential reforms or shifts in how investment gains are taxed and the broader implications for households and the economy.
