Ep.225: Run for It with Ed Krutsch

Dunn Street founder and Community Organiser Stephen Donnelly hands the mic over to McKell Institute’s Rebecca Thistleton, Member for Jajajaga, Kate Thwaites MP, and ANMF Assistant Secretary, Madeline Harradence, for the 2024 International Women’s Day special episode.

Together, Rebecca, Kate, and Madeline chat about the representation of women in politics, in particular the impact of the late Linda White and Peta Murphy, how women voted in the Dunkley By-Election, as well as Jacinta Allan’s impact as Victoria’s second female premier.

They also discuss the Victorian investment into women’s health care, in particular funding into endometriosis research, stage three tax cuts, and the influence of the Matildas on women’s sport.

Dunn Street founder and Community Organiser Stephen Donnelly was joined by the former Labor Campaign Director and federal MP, David Feeney. 

This week Socially Democratic is launching our new, monthly episode “The Feeney Files”. 

Every month, David and Stephen will recap the month in #auspol and on the inaugural Feeney Files, David discusses how 2023 ended for the government and dictated the direction of federal Labor in early 2024.

They share thoughts on the pathway to an early federal election, the impact of the stage three tax cuts, this Saturday’s Dunkley by-election, and Dutton’s chances to remain opposition leader.

Mark it in your calendars - David will be back next month for the second edition of The Feeney Files.

Dunn Street founder and Community Organiser Stephen Donnelly was joined by Democratic consultant and state director for the Georgia Run-Off, Jonae Wartel.

Jonae (and Stephen) is back to break down the GOP and Democratic primaries so far. 

While the New Hampshire primary and Iowa Caucus are already done and dusted, and it’s looking like we’re in for a rematch between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, Jonae still has much to say about GOP candidate Nikki Haley, Ron DeSantis, the year ahead for Democratic campaigners.
