Not getting paid enough? It's not just a feeling

2022/08/24

Wages aren’t rising fast enough to keep up with inflation, and it means that many workers are actually falling behind. At the same time, the corporate profit share is going up – it's now at a record 31 per cent of Australia’s national income. These are the stakes for next week’s national job summit, where businesses, unions and economic experts will sit down with the new government to make their case for changes to our jobs, workplaces and our pay. Today, executive director of the Australia

With the balance of power in the senate, the Greens hold significant sway over what gets done under this government. But at the same time, the dynamics within the Greens party room have dramatically transformed – out of 16 Greens parliamentarians, five are now from Queensland. So how will they change the Australian Greens and what agenda do they represent? Today, journalist Paddy Manning on the Brisbane Greens and how their “radical agenda” began to appeal to Queenslanders. Socials: Stay in

2022/08/22

Today, the Prime Minister will reveal legal advice on Scott Morrison’s secret appointment to five ministries. While the country waits to hear about what legal dilemmas the affair entails, the former prime minister’s colleagues are responding both privately and publicly.

2022/08/21

The spread of monkeypox is testing public health officials worldwide. It’s a virus that is challenging both our ability to get vaccines and medicines to the people who need them most - and the ability of health authorities to send the right message. So what is the right health message? And how do we empower communities, after they have been through two years of a Covid-19 pandemic?

2022/08/18

It's the rolling scandal that has dominated the week in politics, and permanently marked Scott Morrison’s legacy. This week it emerged that while in power the former prime minister secretly swore himself into five different ministries: Health, Finance, Resources, Treasury, and Home Affairs. The public didn’t know, his former government colleagues didn’t know, and in most cases, the very ministers in those portfolios didn’t know.

2022/08/16

Right-wing groups in the US are holding armed rallies against the FBI, with one field office of the bureau attacked by a gunman. A raid last week by agents on Donald Trump’s Florida residence, Mar-a-Lago, opened the floodgates of anger after classified government documents were found on the premises. Trump has now called for calm, but maintains the FBI’s raid was part of a witch-hunt and that he has done nothing wrong.

It started with a job: $500,000 to be a trade envoy in New York. Now, an entire state government has become embroiled in a scandal over job appointments and how they get made. As Australia prepares to implement a federal anti-corruption body, in New South Wales – the state that first put in place an independent anti-corruption commission – we're learning a lot about why we need more transparency in politics.

2022/08/14

It’s been one year since the Taliban swifty took control of Afghanistan as the US pulled out after 20 years of war. In the days following the takeover, foreign countries rushed to evacuate diplomatic staff from Kabul. Thousands of Afghans were also airlifted out, but many, even those who worked directly with Australia and other foreign nations remain trapped.

China warns Australia to pipe down on Taiwan

2022/08/11

China has a message for Australia: be quiet and take the trade money. In a chilling speech, China’s ambassador to Australia laid out his nation’s aims with startling honesty – including that China would pursue what he called ‘reunification’ with Taiwan at any cost. The reason he was sending that message has everything to do with US Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s recent visit to Taiwan, which raised the threat of conflict in the region.

2022/08/10

When a Voice to Parliament was first proposed in the Uluru Statement from the Heart – it was dismissed by then-prime minister Malcolm Turnbull. It seemed possible the proposal might never be put in front of the Australian people. But Australians could soon get to vote in a referendum and we will be asked whether Australia should amend its constitution to create an Indigenous Voice to parliament.

2022/08/09

A former intelligence officer in Canberra, known as Witness J, was charged, sentenced, and jailed in complete secrecy in 2018. It was only after he brought his own legal complaint, and journalists noticed some security guards in the courthouse, that anything about his case was made public. Now, as fragments of the proceedings against the man known as Alan Johns filter out, we’re learning what happens when our spy agencies go to court.

The school funding gap the Coalition left behind

How Peter Dutton is making himself irrelevant

2022/08/04

Labor's first fortnight in power has been marked by a significant win — a successful agreement to pass a bill that would see a 43 per cent emissions reduction target become law. That agreement was made entirely without the opposition, with Peter Dutton effectively removing his party from negotiations at the beginning of the week. So what is the Coalition’s strategy, when it comes to climate, or to just being in opposition? Today, columnist for The Saturday Paper Paul Bongiorno on what Dutton is

Inside the Greens' climate deal with Labor

2022/08/03

For more than ten years, the Greens and the Labor Party have been blaming each other for holding back progress on climate action. Now, things have shifted — Labor’s new emissions reduction target will almost certainly become legislation, after the Greens announced that they’ll support it. But that support has only come after fierce negotiations and several concessions from the Albanese government.

As a homelessness crisis escalates around the country, there’s one jurisdiction where the situation is particularly stark. In the wealthiest state in Australia, more than 120 people have died on the streets in the past two years. And while the causes of homelessness are complex, there’s no doubt Western Australia’s tenancy laws are making things worse: especially when it comes to “no grounds” rental evictions.

The party within a party: How Labor’s factions work

2022/08/01

An investigation into factional misconduct in Victoria has created debate about how the Labor Party is structured and how it can be reformed. The stakes are incredibly high for the party: not only is some of the conduct illegal and undemocratic, but it also risks losses in seats where independents are likely to run on integrity.
