The Vote: Hiding the Aboriginal vote (Part One)

7am ·

2022/05/10

When Australia heads to the polls in a couple of weeks, 1 in 5 Indigenous people who are eligible to vote won’t be enrolled and won’t be able to cast a ballot. 60 years after First Nations people won the right to vote in Australia, why is access to democracy still a challenge? Today, producer for 7am Ruby Schwartz travels to remote Australia to find out why some people are more enrolled than others. Guest: Producer for 7am, Ruby Schwartz.

The Vote: Why you won’t see a debate on the ABC

7am ·

2022/05/09

The latest leaders debate has been described as “messy” and a “joke” by observers. There’s one more debate to go before the election — but it won’t be hosted by the public broadcaster, the ABC — despite the organisation’s best efforts. In fact, the ABC has been effectively sidelined, as the rocky relationship between the government and the national broadcaster continues to play out. Today, senior reporter for The Saturday Paper Rick Morton, on the ABC’s doomed bid to host an election debate and

The Vote: Fighting for coal votes

7am ·

2022/05/08

Sometimes the contest for a single seat can be about more than who wins. Hunter is just that; it’s a seat that spans some of Australia’s oldest coal mines, and the questions in Hunter have huge consequences for us all. How seriously we are taking the climate crisis, how quickly we can transition to renewable energy and whether workers in these industries will be looked after. Today, investigative journalist Marian Wilkinson on the race for Hunter, what the parties are promising people there and what

The Vote Panel: Everyone is promising houses

7am ·

2022/05/05

As we close in on election day, housing affordability has become a central issue of this campaign. First, Labor announced its solution, the Help to Buy scheme and then just a few days later, the Reserve Bank increased the cash rate from its historic low of 0.1% to 0.35%. People’s mortgages are going up and it could put upward pressure on rents. So, how are cost of living pressures factoring into the decision voters will make in just two weeks time? Today, to analyse all the latest events, we’re

The Vote: The Adam Bandt Interview

7am ·

2022/05/04

Adam Bandt sits down for a one-on-one interview with Ruby Jones. This election, issues the Greens have championed for years, like an integrity commission and reducing emissions, are now finding a lot of popular support. But the party finds itself at a crossroads. It’s been unable to increase the number of lower house MPs and senators it has at the federal level for over a decade. Adam Bandt, the party’s leader, has ambitions to change this. So, in his first federal election as leader, how has he

2022/05/03

The war in Ukraine has led to soul searching about how Russian oligarchs have built cosy relationships with institutions around the world. Lawyers and bankers in London have been warned by the British prime minister not to defend the wealth and reputations of Russian oligarchs who have ties to Vladimir Putin’s government. And one of those oligarchs actually has a connection to Australia as well. Last year Roman Abramovich launched legal action in NSW. Today, journalist for The Saturday Paper Kieran

The Vote: What are Labor actually offering?

2022/05/02

The Labor Party officially launched their campaign on Sunday, unveiling new policies and making their most comprehensive pitch to voters so far. But the policy offering remains slimmer than it was three years ago, which is part of what has been described as the party’s small target strategy. So what is Labor actually offering? And who are they targeting with these election promises? Today, national correspondent for The Saturday Paper, Mike Seccombe on the Labor Party’s policy platform and the

The Vote: The climate kids are doomscrolling

2022/05/01

As we enter the final weeks of the election campaign there’s one group of people more stressed, more disillusioned than most. Teenagers, desperate to see change but unable to vote to get their voice heard. Today, 7am producer Kara Jensen-Mackinnon on a day in the life of a teenager trying to make change happen before it’s too late. Guest: Producer for 7am, Kara Jensen-Mackinnon.

2022/04/28

Today, Anthony Albanese is set to end his isolation and return to the campaign trail after he tested positive for Covid-19 last week. As he returns to campaigning in-person, the cost of living has become an even more pressing election issue. New inflation figures show prices are 5.1 per cent higher today than they were this time last year – which could mean interest rates are raised in the middle of an election campaign. And in the midst of this China has signed a deal with the Solomon islands,

This election, one person is having more of a say than anyone else when it comes to the political advertising Australians are seeing everyday. That person is Clive Palmer. And he’s not only outspending the major political parties by a significant margin, he’s also got a huge personal say in the ads he’s putting onto billboards and TV screens. That’s because he writes them all himself. Today, senior reporter for The Saturday Paper, Rick Morton on the rise of Clive Palmer and what he is trying to get

2022/04/26

In the Northern Territory, there’s a youth detention centre that has been subject to multiple reports, complaints, and a Royal Commission. That commission recommended it be shut down, but children as young as 10 years old are still being held there, with reports of minors having been locked inside their cells for 23 hours a day. Today, journalist for The Saturday Paper, Esther Linder on the grandmother who is fighting for the closure of the Don Dale detention centre. Guest: Contributor to The

2022/04/25

As the election tightens, there is a very real possibility that neither major party wins the 76-seat majority they need to govern in their own right. If this happens, they will have to convince independents and minor party representatives in the lower house to join them and form a minority government. For independents in this scenario, it’s an enormous choice – who do they support, what do they ask for, and who do they make prime minister? Today, we speak to someone who has made that choice, former

2022/04/24

Earlier this year, Brittany Higgins and Grace Tame went to Canberra together. The day before, Prime Minister Scott Morrison had delivered an apology to people who had worked at federal parliament, who had been subjected to sexual harassment, assault and bullying. What Ms Higgins and Ms Tame said at the National Press Club was a devastating indictment of Australia’s political institutions, and as this election campaign continues, it is well worth revisiting. That’s why today we are spotlighting our

2022/04/21

With a crucial deadline now passed, Liberal candidate Katherine Deves will almost certainly remain the Coalition’s pick for the seat of Warringah. That’s despite her transphobic comments, and the concern expressed about them from senior Liberal figures. Today, columnist for The Saturday Paper Paul Bongiorno on the Katherine Deves controversy and how it looks to the independents who could be shaping up as kingmakers.

The Human Rights Commission could flunk its next exam

2022/04/20

On the campaign trail, Anthony Albanese struggled to say whether he would change the way people are appointed to the Australian Human Rights Commission. In fact, he didn’t know who the most recently appointed commissioner was. The reason he was being asked about it though, was because the Global Alliance of National Human Rights Institutions recently threatened to downgrade Australia’s Human Rights Commission to a ‘B’ status. Today, The Saturday Paper’s national correspondent Mike Seccombe on the

Hillsong Church’s growth and success has faltered in recent years. Founded by Brian Houston in New South Wales, the global megachurch has outposts in 30 countries, including the United States.
