Same Path, Different Shoes
Welcome to the inaugural episode of Blue, Red, Green and Everything in Between, where three ex-political staffers from rival parties spill the tea on what really goes on behind the scenes. As Australia gears up for an election, they chat about their (often chaotic) journeys into politics, the highs and lows of campaign life, the power of trust and communication, and why staffers deserve more credit. They also tackle big topics like the cost of living crisis, the impact of social media, and whether negative campaigning is just too effective to quit.

- Trust, strategy, and a good meme can win (or lose) elections.
- Women in politics? Still a fight worth fighting.
- The cost of living crisis: the election issue nobody can ignore.
- Political staffers are the real MVPs (but rarely get the glory).
- Negative campaigns work—unfortunately.
- Coalitions across party lines? More common than you think.
Tune in for a mix of insight, war stories, and a few laughs.
