The Red Wave: The New Politics review of the 2025 Australian federal election (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781763570146)

A landslide. A reckoning. A warning.

The 2025 Australian federal election didn't just change the government-it shattered long-held certainties about the nation's politics, democracy, and identity.

In The Red Wave, political analysts and commentators Eddy Jokovich and David Lewis deliver a razor-sharp, deeply informed account of one of the most consequential elections in modern Australian history. With Labor's landslide victory, the collapse of the Liberal Party, and voters more disillusioned than ever, this book takes you inside the heart of a seismic political shift that will define a generation.

What You'll Discover Inside:

• How the Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, and Labor won big by playing it safe-and what it risks by doing nothing bold
• The fall of Peter Dutton and the disintegration of the Liberal Party brand
• The rise of culture war politics and American-style campaigning in Australia
• Why political party membership is collapsing-and what replaces it
• The role of media manipulation, billionaire interests, and misinformation
• What this election means for climate policy, Indigenous justice, and economic reform

With forensic detail and passionate insight, The Red Wave reveals what really happened behind the headlines-a campaign of extremes, an electorate on edge, and a political system under pressure. Is this the start of a Labor era of transformation? Or just a pause before a more radical, reactionary force re-emerges?

Perfect For:

• Fans of Australian political podcasts and in-depth analysis
• Anyone trying to understand the real stakes of the 2025 election
• Journalists, students, and researchers of political science, media, and democracy

Timely. Thought-provoking. Unmissable. The Red Wave is the definitive account of Australia's 2025 federal election-and a powerful call to face the truths we can no longer ignore.
