Our 2025 predictions
It's shaping up to be another eventful year in politics and the new economy. Here's what the Capital Brief team thinks might happen.
The Capital Brief team came together in Sydney this week to prepare for the year ahead and discuss ways we can best serve our subscribers. Suffice to say, I’m excited about what we have planned.
2025 is shaping up to be another eventful year in the coverage areas we obsess over, and as part of our planning process I asked our journalists to come up with some predictions for what lies ahead.
I thought it would be useful to share some of them with you to provide an insight into how we are thinking about things as another pivotal year commences.
Election nailbiter
The next three years of Australian politics is going to be a lot more exciting than the previous three. Anthony Albanese has been afforded a significant amount of goodwill from the Labor caucus during his first term as prime minister. If he is plunged into minority government, as looks likely, then the cautious approach will have to make way for ambition — or else the goodwill will dissipate quickly. If Peter Dutton defies history and becomes prime minister after just three years out of government, there will be a lot of bloodletting within Labor. - Anthony Galloway
