How much will Labor pay to hold refugees on Nauru?

7am ·

2022/09/20

Next year will be 10 years since Australia began offshore processing – sending refugees that arrived by boat to places like Papua New Guinea and Nauru. It would be easy to assume that with a change of government, and deals with the US and New Zealand to take refugees – that offshore processing was a thing of the past. It’s not, and the Albanese government looks like it is on the verge of signing a multi-million dollar deal to keep detention facilities on Nauru running. Today, national correspondent

2022/09/19

The very idea of a casino was invented with the involvement of the American mafia. But for decades we’ve been reassured that everything at Australian casinos is above board. They’re supposed to beheavily regulated, closely monitored, and operated by reputable, publicly-traded corporations. But what we were told about many casinos in Australia is now unravelling, and we’re getting staggering insight into how regulators can be misled and the strange schemes that have been allowed to flourish inside

King Charles III is now Australia’s head of state. As with all members of the Royal Family, the appearance of Charles’ political neutrality will be carefully protected. Although, we do have some clues about some of his opinions through hard won freedom of information cases. How much do we know about what he intends to do with the throne? What does he believe in? And how will that affect Australia? Today, historian and author of The Palace Letters, Professor Jenny Hocking, on King Charles. Socials:

Russia suffers a stunning collapse in Ukraine

7am ·

2022/09/14

The Ukrainian army has swept across areas in north-eastern Ukraine. Russian troops appear to have been thin on the ground, unprepared and quick to retreat. The stunning collapse could be a turning point in the war, but it’s also increasing pressure on Vladimir Putin at home, with previously loyal politicians and media figures criticising the leadership and decision making by the Kremlin.

Why being a renter is getting more expensive

7am ·

2022/09/13

Across the country, rents are going up. But it’s not because the value of the properties has risen - in fact values are largely going down. Instead, it has to do with the mortgage repayments of landlords, and the fact there’s not enough supply of rental properties at the moment. Rental stress in Australia is at a crisis point, with mental health and homelessness services raising the alarm. Today, senior reporter for The Saturday Paper Rick Morton on what’s happening to our rents. Socials: Stay in

2022/09/12

We could be in for another wet, cloudy summer. The chances of another La Niña weather event are growing, and it’s now very likely the east coast of Australia will be drenched once again. That could make it the riskiest summer yet for flooding, with catchments still full and communities still regrouping. Today, climate scientist and lead author on the IPCC’s most recent climate assessment, Joëlle Gergis, on our never-ending stretch of rainy summers and what they mean for the climate

The end of Queen Elizabeth II’s 70-year reign

2022/09/11

Late last week, news broke that England’s longest reigning monarch, Queen Elizabeth II had died at the age of 96. During her 70-year reign the Queen has steered the royal family through immense social and political change, and there are many who mourn her death. But there is also a complex legacy of colonialism to grapple with, and questions are already beginning over whether Australia should now re-consider becoming a republic.

Albanese's race to ease the cost of living

2022/09/08

This week, rates rose to seven-year-highs and inflation still won’t be easing off anytime soon. Cost of living is a problem the government has promised it’s aware of, but there will be increasing pressure for it to start implementing practical solutions that actually help people who are struggling. So what is the Albanese government doing, how is it different and what can we expect the government to pass now that parliament is back?

Will Lachlan Murdoch beat Crikey in court?

2022/09/07

Rupert Murdoch’s son, co-chair of News Corp, Lachlan Murdoch is suing a small independent publisher in Australia over an article it published on its website. The defamation suit, filed against Crikey a couple of weeks ago, could test Australia’s new public interest laws. Crikey says it wants to defend it, and force Lachlan Murdoch to prove his claims in court. But, the stakes couldn't be higher for the media company, which stands to lose three million dollars.

Scott Morrison and the secretive $18m grant

7am ·

2022/09/06

Before he was voted out, the former Prime Minister Scott Morrison received a pitch from the Governor-General David Hurley: the taxpayer should fund a foundation for ‘future Australian leaders’. We don’t know much about the merits of the program, who would get selected and what kind of training they would get – but it was promised the funding. Now, with the secret ministries saga still hanging over Canberra, pressure is mounting to investigate whether there was enough transparency in the process of

The federal election marked a change in direction for the country but it also signalled the beginning of 35 new political careers. As parliament returns once again, many of these newly elected parliamentarians are making their first speeches, a permanent record of their intentions that their actions in Canberra will be compared against. So what are they saying? And what do their speeches tell us about the challenges facing Australia right now? Today, writer and contributor to The Monthly Sean Kelly

Can Tanya Plibersek save the environment?

2022/09/04

Tanya Plibersek is arguably Labor's most high-profile female politician. Once described as the next female prime minister, she rose through the ranks to become deputy leader at one point, and was most recently the party’s education spokesperson. But Labor’s election to power after almost a decade in opposition has had unexpected consequences for Plibersek – she’s found herself in a new portfolio, facing a new challenge. And it’s a monumental one: she’s now the minister for the Environment and

Labor has been spruiking its Jobs and Skills Summit for months, but is the gathering live up to the hype? Anthony Albanese has spent his senior political career insisting that what’s good for workers is good for employees – a belief that has allowed him, according to his colleagues, to build good relations with both unions and business leaders. Now Labor is attempting to put that assertion into practice. Columnist for The Saturday Paper Paul Bongiorno on the promises and perils of Labor’s Jobs and

There are signs that Ukraine has begun its biggest counter-offensive yet to win back territory held by Russian forces. It's too soon to know if the operation will succeed or how concerted the effort will be - but there’s no doubt that a new battle in the war would be difficult and costly. Meanwhile, Ukraine and its president Volodymyr Zelenskyy are also fighting the clock. Winter will make it difficult to take back ground and also signals the beginning of untold economic pain for the whole of

New questions over whether Scott Morrison acted lawfully

2022/08/30

Amid the controversy over Scott Morrison’s secret ministry appointments a new question has emerged: did the former Prime Minister act unconstitutionally? Advice from the Solicitor-General released last week found that Scott Morrison was legally appointed to the Resources portfolio under section 64 of the constitution. But rather than that being the end of the matter, it has raised a new question: was Morrison properly appointed under another section, section 65? Today, chief political correspondent

A crisis that began in China’s housing market is now threatening to drag down the country’s entire economy.

What happened to him, and his subsequent case at the Fair Work Commission was supposed to set a powerful precedent for people who work across the whole gig economy – and give workers in these industries the same rights as employees. But instead, his case faltered - and the reason was a High Court decision that he wasn’t a party to. Today, journalist and lawyer Kieran Pender on the

2022/08/25

The Solicitor-General’s legal advice on Scott Morrison’s secret appointments painted a complex picture. What Morrison did was legal, but it fundamentally undermined principles of the constitution.
