Starting next Wednesday, Australia will become the first country in the world to ban under-16s from having social media accounts, forcing major platforms to comply with the law or face fines of up to $50 million. The Albanese government says the move will protect young people from harmful algorithms and negative mental-health impacts. Many parents support the change, while critics warn that tech-savvy teens are likely to find workarounds to the measures.

Sean Kelly started with a basic question: What does Labor believe?Drawing on his experience as a former press secretary for both Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard, and over a decade covering politics, he pursues the question through the lens of our not so-distant-past - from the Cold War to Whitlam, from Hawke and Keating to Rudd and Gillard.The result is a brilliant essay which reflects on the struggles, feats and failures of the current Albanese government - placing it within the broader struggle of all centre-left parties: between belief and action, idealism and pragmatism, the 'right' thing and the achievable thing.Sean comes on the show to discuss it with Stephen.A must-listen and a must-read to all who are interested in fighting the good fight.✍️ Mentioned in the episode:Quarterly Essay 100: 'The Good Fight: What Does Labor Stand For?' by Sean Kellyhttps://bit.ly/4rzVkC3The Game: A Portrait of Scott Morrison by Sean Kellyhttps://bit.ly/48gYbYW#podcast #quarterlyessay #thegoodfight #seankelly #ALP #Labor #Albanese #Gillard #Rudd #Hawke #Keating #socialism #idealism #pragmatism #politicsSupport the showNew episodes every Friday.

The prime minister, Anthony Albanese, has ended the parliamentary year on a high, passing the long-promised nature laws and celebrating a wedding. But inflation is moving in the wrong direction, far-right populist sentiment is on the rise, and gambling and housing reform are continuing to fester. Does Labor have a plan to confront these big social and economic challenges? Guardian Australia political editor Tom McIlroy and chief political correspondent Dan Jervis-Bardy join Nour Haydar to discuss what lies ahead for Labor as the sun sets on the 2025 parliamentary year

«È una canzone allegra o una canzone triste? Ritmicamente è un pezzo allegro, ma il sottotesto racconta un momento di down. È l'unica delle mie canzoni scritta di getto, parole e musica in pochi minuti, e musicalmente è un chiaro omaggio al Franco Battiato più pop.» Manuele Albanese

Francesca Albanese colleziona cittadinanze e distribuisce diplomi di giornalismo. La redazione della Stampa a Torino è appena stata assaltata dai Pro Pal. Un fatto grave e sconcertante, che va purtroppo a unirsi ad altri fatti gravi e sconcertanti. La Special Rapporteur è riuscita sì a condannare l'irruzione nel quotidiano torinese, dicendo che “è necessario che ci sia giustizia per quello che è successo alla redazione”, ma ha precisato: “Non bisogna commettere atti di violenza nei confronti di nessuno, ma al tempo stesso che questo sia anche un monito alla stampa per tornare a fare il proprio lavoro”. Il monito: colpirne uno per educarne cento. 

Ever since she was elected opposition leader, Sussan Ley has faced strong criticism from within her party and across the parliament. Some commentators even predicted she'd be out of the job already. But she has made it to the last sitting week of parliament for the year. On the other side of the aisle, the Albanese government managed to meet their own deadline to legislate changes to outdated nature laws – by settling on a deal with the Greens. Political editor Tom McIlroy speaks to Ley about her disappointment over the long-awaited reforms, Barnaby Joyce resigning from the Nationals and why she thinks ‘it's never been about me'

Just over half of voters say that climate change is happening and is caused by human activity, according to the latest Guardian Essential poll. The same number of voters had the same response more than 15 years ago, so Essential Media's executive director, Peter Lewis, and political reporter Josh Butler unpack the difference between the science and politics of climate action in Australia. They also explore why self-aware AI – rather than the climate crisis – ranked as our greatest existential threat, and how the overwhelming support for gambling reform exposes the gap between Albanese's current commitments and the public mood for change

Author and columnist Sean Kelly says despite Labor's overwhelming majority and an opposition largely consumed by its own infighting, there are signs that Anthony Albanese's government will waste the opportunity handed to them by the Australian people. Kelly talks to Guardian Australia political editor Tom McIlroy about his new Quarterly essay, which examines the Labor party's move away from idealism towards pragmatism. And the former Rudd and Gillard staffer argues that while Albanese's caution has won him two elections, it could also become the prime minister's greatest weakness

It's been six months since the May election, which brought new personalities to Parliament House – along with an even larger majority for the Albanese government. Labor MP Renee Coffey, who beat the Greens housing spokesperson Max Chandler-Mather, and Liberal MP Leon Rebello, a former staffer and parliamentary attendant, join political editor Tom McIlroy to discuss the start to their first terms. In this bipartisan conversation, the two Queenslanders also talk about the Coalition's net zero debate this week and Labor's fight to pass new environment laws before Christmas

Weeks out from Australia's world-first age restrictions being implemented, there are still plenty of questions about the platforms that will fall under the ban, the ones that won't and how companies are actually going to figure out users' ages at all. This week, Elfy and Rania chat about what we know so far and how it's all reflecting on the Albanese government right now.

In a month's time, the Albanese government's under-16s social media ban will come into effect. But popular gaming platform Roblox, where children are exposed to inappropriate or violent content and grooming, is not covered under the ban.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. NY correspondent Luke Tress joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Democrat Zohran Mamdani was elected mayor of New York City, defeating former Governor Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa. The far-left anti-Israel activist, a state assemblymember, is, at 34, the city’s youngest mayor in over a century. We talk about concerns among some of New York’s large Jewish community and early reactions from communal organizations. Mamdani has previously stated his intention not to invest city funds in Israel bonds, in keeping with the current comptroller’s decision not to reinvest when $39 million in bonds matured in 2023. In May 2023, Mamdani, then a member of the New York State Assembly, introduced a bill called “Not on our dime!: Ending New York funding of Israeli settler violence act.” Tress weighs in on what powers Mamdani has to enact his ideological anti-Israel stance. And finally, we discuss a cartoon from the UN special rapporteur for the Palestinians, Francesca Albanese. Last week, Albanese posted a cartoon denouncing Israel, depicting what appears to be a global spiderweb, in an image that experts said echoed age-old antisemitic tropes. We hear what Tress heard from experts.Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Steve Yates Discusses Australia-US Alliance Strength and Political Turmoil Affecting APEC Summit Steve Yates with John Batchelor Steve Yates confirmed the Trump-Albanese meeting was a net positive, accelerating AUKUS and securing a rare earth deal that addresses supply access. He noted the political turmoil in Beijing, highlighted by uncertainty over Xi Jinping's APEC attendance. This instability is abnormal and reinforces China's unstable political foundation. Yates suggested this instability should push allies to rely more on the first island chain as a reliable balance. 1687
