Meet Australia's new political party

June 25, 2026

Host: Elliot Lawry

Producer: Orla Maher

Australia officially has a new political party. It’s called Community Strong Australia, and it’s been founded by two of the country's most prominent independent MPs.

On today’s podcast I sat down with Allegra Spender and Zali Steggall to discuss the launch of their new party, why their fellow teal independents aren’t coming along for the ride, and what CSA has to offer for young voters.
