On the latest episode of The Mainstream podcast, Daniel Wild and John Roskam discuss the Australian National University's Australian Election Study, which shows, amongst other things, that the Coalition lost the 2025 because it was not nearly conservative enough; Australians no longer rate climate change as a top concern; and why voters no longer believe the Coalition are better economic managers than Labor. Dan and John also discuss polling published in The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald which shows that Australians want cuts to immigration, and for our migration system to priorities migrants who are skilled and share Australian values. John shares his thoughts on a book he has read so you do not have to, Earthquake: The election that shook Australia by Niki Savva.
