Can the Voice to Parliament deliver radical change?...

7am ·

2023/01/04

When Anthony Albanese declared victory in last year’s election, one of the first commitments that he made was to implement the Uluru Statement from the Heart in full. While the Uluru Statement from the Heart includes truth-telling and a treaty, a constitutionally enshrined Voice to Parliament is the first step that the government plans to take. If it goes ahead, it will be the first referendum since the republic vote just over 20 years ago. Professor Gary Foley, senior lecturer of history at

2023/01/01

Lachlan Murdoch is the presumptive heir to the global Murdoch media fortune – and with his father, Rupert, now aged 91, Lachlan’s time could be imminent. But Lachlan’s rise to the top has not been smooth. After a bright start, the first-born son fell out of grace with his father and was exiled to Australia, only to return to favour when the family was in crisis. Now it seems that Lachlan could be the successor to the empire after all. So what does Lachlan Murdoch stand for? Journalist Paddy

2022/12/29

Next year, Australians will get to vote in a referendum and we will be asked whether Australia should amend its constitution to create an Indigenous Voice to parliament. In this episode from August, we spoke to the first person to read the road map to that referendum outloud after the Uluru Statement from the heart was agreed to. Today we revisit this episode with someone who has spent years working towards constitutional recognition: chair in constitutional law at the University of NSW, Megan

This year, the case that established the legal protection for people in the United States to choose to have an abortion has been overturned. Since this episode aired in June, 13 states have banned or restricted the access to abortion and the fight for access rights continues in courtrooms across the country. So how did a small minority of religious conservatives overturn the rights of millions to choose? Today we are revisiting this episode from the moment the US Supreme Court made a ruling that

Spotlight: How the teals really won, with Simon...

7am ·

2022/12/26

One of the most consequential political shifts of 2022 was the election of several ‘teal’ independent candidates to the federal parliament. The teals were mostly professional women who ran in traditionally Liberal-held seats, and campaigned on climate, integrity, and equality. Their election en masse was a shock to the Liberal party, and could herald a more permanent shift away from the major parties. Apart from their policy priorities, the other thing the teal candidates had in common was funding

For decades we’ve been reassured that everything at Australian casinos is above board. They’re supposed to be heavily regulated, closely monitored, and operated by reputable, publicly-traded corporations. But this year, much of what we’ve been told unravelled. Since this episode, from September this year eleven former and current executives at the Star Entertainment Group were slapped with fines by ASIC, the corporate watchdog.

2022/12/22

Seven months ago, Anthony Albanese’s Labor broke almost ten years of Coalition rule. Labor’s celebration were large and loud – and 7am was there to record the moment. We spent the night in Marrickville, home soil for the new prime minister, at Labor’s election night party. Over the course of the night we spoke with our reporter Karen Middleton, incoming minister Tony Burke, and, at the end of the night, we got one quick question with the newly-elected prime minister.

Spotlight: Monique Ryan vs The Treasurer of Australia

2022/12/21

Back in May, our producer Elle Marsh was given unprecedented access to Dr Monique Ryan and her campaign, as they attempted to unseat one of Australia’s top politicians. At the time, we had no idea whether the so-called teal candidates would be successful in their campaigns against Liberal party members, often in safe seats. Kooyong, the seat that Dr Ryan was running for, had been held by the Liberal party for almost its entire existence and was occupied by the Treasurer of Australia, Josh

2022/12/20

This year, the only head of state that most Australians have ever known died. It led to an outpouring of grief and mourning, particularly in the UK, but that wasn’t the only side of the story. There were also protests, marches and an attempt from some to reckon with the monarchy’s colonial past. Today we’re featuring this episode from September with the United Kingdom’s first Professor of Black Studies and author of The New Age of Empire, Kehinde Andrews, on what the monarchy represents today.

Spotlight: Who is Scott Morrison?

2022/12/19

Months after he lost the Prime Ministership, it’s still hard to get a handle on who Scott Morrison was. If anything, the secret ministries saga has only raised more questions about what drives him, what his values are and who he really is. After years in public life, Scott Morrison can still seem hollow and one-dimensional. According to his biographer, Sean Kelly, this is deliberate. That’s why we’re running this profile of Morrison from April this year. Today, Sean Kelly, author of The Game: A

At 6 O’Clock in the morning on Thursday the 24th of February, Vladimir Putin addressed the world – he said he would begin a special military operation. It was the moment war broke out, and soon after Russia invaded Ukraine, sending troops into mainland Europe. Listening back to those first moments of war, it puts new context on just how surprising the next few months would be: the world’s response, the failures of the Russian military and the defence of Kyiv.

2022/12/15

We’re seeing a fitting end to a tumultuous year – parliament was urgently recalled to thrash out an energy deal, and a former prime minister grilled in front of a royal commission. This week’s showdowns were stark reminders of just how much our politics has transformed since January. But have the major parties learnt the right lessons from 2022? Who has listened to voters? And who’s at risk of losing touch? Today, columnist for The Saturday Paper Paul Bongiorno on how Adam Bandt, Peter Dutton and

Why Australia’s lobbying rules just don’t cut it

2022/12/12

When our politicians are making decisions, they’re often lobbied. These lobbyists arrange meetings, and make the case why the company they represent would do a good job, why a certain policy would be a good one or a bad one. In short, they represent vested interests. There are supposed to be rules to disclose this activity to the public. But what happens when the rules don’t apply? What happens when the people who are talking to our politicians simply deny that they are lobbyists? Today, national

15 months in jail after a climate protest

2022/12/11

Up to 15 months in jail, with a minimum non-parole period of 8 months – that’s the sentence that a climate protester was handed recently in NSW. It caused widespread alarm from human rights and civil liberties groups, and it heralds a new era in sentencing as anti-protest laws are passed around the country. But will this sentence change the tactics of the climate action movement? Or will it open the door to re-examine these new protest laws? Today, contributor to The Saturday Paper Royce Kurmelovs
