Gladys Departs and Babis Fights to Stay - a podcast by Sam Rippon and Chern Han Mah

As Gladys Berejiklian leaves office and Andrej Babis fights to defend his, this week’s episode looks at a turbulent week in New South Wales politics and looks ahead to the upcoming Czech Chamber of Deputies elections. After three resignations, New South Wales is looking at three imminent by-elections and, after losing a popular state Premier, the Liberal/National Coalition will be going into the federal election next year and state election in 2023 with two new state leaders. What provoked this slew of resignations? And how will Scott Morrison and Canberra be affected by this week?

With Czech polls still open at the time of recording, Sam and Chern take the opportunity to look at the state of the parties in the Czech Republic as their campaign comes to a close. Andrej Babis and ANO are fighting to hold on to power in Prague as the opposition parties have created large electoral alliances to try and stop them. Has Babis run out of political allies in the Chamber of Deputies? What unites the seemingly broad conservative SPOLU alliance? Why have the Pirate Party been particularly strong in Czechia? All these questions and more answered in this week’s episode.
