There's been a lot of talk about abortion laws in the US recently. But we've actually had some pretty major changes here in Australia. South Australia has become the last jurisdiction to decriminalise abortion, meaning it will finally be more accessible, and people with unwanted pregnancies won't have to fit through tricky legal loopholes.  Plus, just this week we've seen the impact of climate change on our country – floods taking over towns that have already been flooded two or three times. Ages ago, the Abbott Government scrapped modelling that would assess the future impact of climate change on our economy. But now, Labor's bringing it back. So how bad will the news be?  And, federal politics has been behind the times when it comes to reflecting the community. But that's about to change. It's going to be more diverse than ever and includes the biggest group of First Nations MPs Canberra has ever seen. Allow us to introduce you to some of them.  Live guests: Daile Kelleher, Children By Choice  Polly Hemming, The Australia Institute

Faced with the hard task of economic recovery from COVID-19, governments need to prioritise policy changes that makes a difference, while minimising the political cost. But Australian policy has stagnated under the lack of prioritisation. The failure to prioritise has been labelled as one reason for the failings of the Rudd Government, the Abbott Government, and the Shorten Opposition. In today’s special prioritisation podcast, Senior Fellow John Daley discusses his latest report, Prioritising a Government’s Agenda, with Fellow Kate Griffiths.

Join Sally Warhaft and senior member of the Canberra press gallery, Niki Savva, for a discussion of political partnerships, party loyalty, the looming election and the state of conservative politics in Australia today. Sally Warhaft and Niki Savva Earlier this month, Niki Savva's book on the political partnership of Tony Abbott and Peta Credlin sparked a flurry of press. There were attacks, counter-attacks, impassioned defences of the Abbott Government legacy – and just as vehement defences of long political and journalistic careers. This Fifth Estate conversation offers a chance for a deeper dissection of the issues raised in the book – and in the media surrounding it – as well as a broader discussion of the trajectory of the Liberal Party. In The Road to Ruin: How Tony Abbott and Peta Credlin Destroyed Their Own Government, Savva argues that while the partnership between the former PM and his chief of staff was effective in opposition, it was catastrophic in government.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Friends of the Earth is under attack. And this is just the beginning of an ideological war by the government against all environmental groups.On the ABC 7:30 show aired April 10, Liberal MPs Alex Hawke and Matt Canavan singled out Friends of the Earth as the first of 150 groups they would like to see lose its charitable status.
