‘Air of possibility’: Surely not in Canberra?!

7am ·

2022/11/10

The Labor government’s workplace reform package, which it promises will increase wages, has passed the lower house. But it may struggle to pass the senate. There’s frustration mounting between crossbenchers, unions and government ministers – and that’s threatening to derail the most important reform package this government has put forward. But instead of the dispute paralysing the whole of Canberra, something else is happening… Today, columnist for The Saturday Paper Chris Wallace on a new season

Elon Musk’s half-baked Twitter takeover

7am ·

2022/11/09

Elon Musk says he plans to turn Twitter into his ideal version of a public square, and use it to advance the evolution of human communication. But his vision of that public square also involves people paying to be prominent – and the public are not allowed to parody Musk, unless they clearly state they’re making a joke. So what does the chaotic week at Twitter tell us about the world’s richest man, his ideas about speech and how far he’ll go to influence the way we communicate? Today, author Elle

They were warned, and did it anyway: Inside robo-debt

7am ·

2022/11/08

Not long ago, the Australian government was forced to abandon a scheme it was using to pursue welfare recipients for money. The robo-debt scheme was binned in 2019 after the government finally asked the solicitor-general for legal advice. He told them what many had long suspected: it was probably unlawful. So who else knew about the potential illegality of robo-debt? How early did they know? And why did it go ahead at all? Today, senior reporter for The Saturday Paper Rick Morton on the robo-debt

2022/11/07

Today, Americans head to the polls in the country’s midterm elections. At stake is control of the US House of Representatives and the Senate. Both are on a knife's edge, and major losses for the Democrats could make the next two years of Joe Biden’s presidency incredibly difficult and bring major reform to a standstill. That is something Donald Trump will be hoping for, as reports circulate that he could announce his presidential campaign for 2024 within days. Today, former Democratic Party adviser

How Peter Dutton was created

2022/11/06

Peter Dutton has an uphill battle, even he would admit that. But the Liberal leader known for tough, hardline conservative talking points is trying to appear more like Australia’s next prime minister – by insisting he has a softer side, and striking a contrast with his predecessor Scott Morrison. Beneath Dutton’s attempts to rebrand himself, who is he… and where did his ideas come from? Today, contributor to The Monthly Malcolm Knox on who Peter Dutton is, and what he’s prepared to do to become

Wages and power prices: A wake up call for Albanese

2022/11/03

People counted Dutton’s Opposition out, but Labor’s restrained budget might have opened up some attack lines for the Liberals… with some help from the Murdoch media. A distressed global economy and rising electricity prices are leaving Labor open to Liberal accusations that they’ve broken an election promise to lower power prices. And: an update on Labor’s industrial relations reforms. Socials: Stay in touch with us on Twitter and Instagram Guest: Contributor to The Saturday Paper, Chris

‘You’re not imagining it’: Why the weather forecast...

2022/11/02

Internal tensions at the organisation that tells us about the weather — the Bureau of Meteorology — appear to be going from bad to worse. Among the latest revelations, the Bureau’s daily forecasts, which many of us rely on, might be getting less accurate. We’ve also learned that the renaming of the organisation was called a ‘rebrand’ internally, even though management publicly claimed they never attempted such a thing. Today, senior reporter at The Saturday Paper, Rick Morton joins us again, with

Did the home of the Melbourne Cup make the city’s...

2022/11/01

When an inner suburb of Melbourne was hit by flooding a few weeks ago, attention turned to Flemington Racecourse: home of the Melbourne Cup. The track is a floodplain, and in prior floods it had become submerged in water. But not this time. This year, a new flood wall protected it. But could the wall that saved Flemington Racecourse have doomed nearby houses? Or is that debate obscuring the bigger problems facing our cities as the climate crisis closes in?

Can a fossil fuel company go net-zero?

2022/10/31

Unlike in almost every other country in the world, the Australian government actively helps some of our biggest carbon emitters make claims to consumers that they are “green” or even “carbon neutral”. For consumers looking to sign up for household gas and electricity, it’s hard to know which companies to trust. And more importantly, the system could help prop up fossil-fuel projects that threaten to derail our emissions reduction targets. Today, senior researcher at The Australia Institute’s climate

The prices of Australian houses are dropping faster than ever before – but is this a blip on the way to higher prices, or an actual value crash? And if it is a real crash… could that be a good thing?

PM Rishi Sunak: Will this one last more than 45 days?

2022/10/27

After 45 days of economic chaos under Liz Truss threatened the welfare of ordinary Britons, the UK now has a new prime minister: Rishi Sunak. Sunak’s family wealth of over a billion dollars makes him an unlikely figure for the task – he is the richest MP in the British parliament. But he has made history as the country’s first British Asian prime minister. Today, world editor of The Saturday Paper Jonathan Pearlman, on the ascent of Rishi Sunak and the challenges ahead of him.

Some of the world’s most treasured art works have been under attack in the last few weeks. Paintings by Van Gogh, Picasso and Monet have been doused in food by climate activists trying to draw attention to the urgent climate crisis. So is this plea for action working? And why are activists turning to this kind of protest?

What’s inside Labor’s first budget?

2022/10/25

A Labor government has handed down a budget for the first time in nine years. It isn’t the budget that many might have imagined in May when the party won the election. It lands just as a global economic storm appears to be gathering momentum. Last night, we got the pitch that tells us how this Labor government thinks it can contend with the challenge and what it plans to deliver for Australians. So what’s in it? Who’s getting money? Who is missing out? And how does it set up this term for Prime

The Bureau of Meteorology: Chaos at the forecaster

2022/10/24

Last Tuesday, while torrential rains brought floods that cut off whole towns in Victoria, Australia’s weather forecasting agency made a strange announcement. The Bureau of Meteorology called on all media to change the name they had used to refer to it: the BoM. Instead it wanted to be called The Bureau. What seemed like an odd branding announcement at first, has led to a series of revelations about working conditions for Australia’s official weather forecasters. Today, senior reporter for The

Australia is getting a wellbeing budget. What is that?

2022/10/23

An idea that Australia discarded a decade ago will return on Tuesday night. That idea is a so-called “wellbeing budget”. It is being talked up by the Treasurer Jim Chalmers. Chalmers has promised that Australia will follow countries like Scotland and New Zealand in judging the success of government spending not just against GDP and income per person, but based on whether it improves the wellbeing of the Australian people.

2022/10/19

It's been two weeks since millions of Australians learned their data might have been compromised in the Optus hack. Since then other data breaches have been revealed, and the precarious nature of the way our personal information is often stored is becoming clear. So what actually happens when someone tries to steal your identity?

Sea Shepherd loses its pirate captain

What happens when an organisation founded on radical activism decides to work with, instead of against, authorities? For Captain Paul Watson that conundrum has led to an acrimonious split from the organisation that he started, Sea Shepherd. Watson has been hailed by some as a hero for his exploits against whaling ships on the high seas — but others say he’s an ‘eco-terrorist’ who has given environmentalism a bad name.

2022/10/17

The notorious Evin prison in Iran, which holds the Islamic Republic’s political prisoners, was on fire over the weekend. Around the country, protests that began over the death of a woman in police custody have now morphed into a broad anti-government movement – the most significant in years. This time, protesters are being more daring than ever before. Some are calling for the death of Iran’s supreme leader and flaunting Iran’s strict morality laws in the streets.
