This week’s episode looks back on results from two state elections: Prince Edward Island, Canada and New South Wales, Australia. In Prince Edward Island, Dennis King’s Progressive Conservatives put in a dominant performance to retain Office. How did they win such a decisive victory? And despite reclaiming Official Opposition status, how can the Liberals regroup and become competitive again?
In New South Wales, there was a change in Government, ensuring that Labor is governing all mainland states in Australia simultaneously for only the second
time. How did Chris Minns succeed in the race to become Premier? And will Labor be disappointed to miss out on a majority? What’s next for the Liberals and where will their next leader come from? Why were the Teals unable to replicate their federal successes? And after NSW and the Aston by-election, what will be the federal implications for Liberal Leader Peter Dutton? All these questions, and more, answered in this week's podcast.
