Barrie Cassidy and Tony Barry host a clear-eyed analysis of the 2025 Australian federal election in this live recording of the Guardian’s political podcast Back to Back Barries, presented in partnership with The Wheeler Centre.

It has begun – Australia’s federal politicians are shaking hands, knocking on doors, speaking from pulpits and making promises that may or may not be kept. Where will we stand as a nation once the dust settles? And with the gift of hindsight, what will be said about the 2025 Australian federal election?

After five weeks of relentless campaigning, Australians will cast their votes – and political commentators and former major party insiders Barrie Cassidy and Tony Barry will be there to offer a discerning examination of how, and why, we arrived at the results on 3 May 2025.

In this special post-election live recording of the Guardian’s Back to Back Barries podcast, they’ll look at the key moments that shaped the campaigns, unpack the role that Independents and minor parties had on the balance of power and discuss what has been revealed about the political, cultural and social issues shaping Australia.

Presented by The Wheeler Centre with The Guardian.
