Senator Fatima Payman is not only one of the most productive members of parliament, but also courageous.As such, this conversation is all about how to be brave and courageous, even in the quieter moments and when the fear is present and inescapable.Born in Afghanistan, Senator Payman migrated to Perth with her family in 2003, studied pharmacy, and became president of Young Labor WA. In 2022, at just 27, she was elected as a Western Australian Senator for Labor, becoming one of the youngest senators in history and the first member of parliament to wear a hijab. Senator Payman crossed the floor in June 2024 over the Albanese Government's Gaza response, seeing her indefinitely suspended from the Labor caucus. She quit the Labor party to sit as an independent. In January this year, Senator Payman announced she is expecting her first child in May. She will become the first Western Australian Senator to have a baby in office. This conversation was recorded in Januaray and some things may have changed. It also follows a piece Senator Fatima Payman penned as part of a collection of essays called A Time for Bravery: What Happens When Australia Chooses Courage? published by Australia Institute Press.

Victoria's bracing for extreme fire weather today, as hot, dry, and windy conditions are forecast across the state.Total fire bans have been declared in several districts.Fire chiefs say they're particularly concerned about dry grass in paddocks catching fire in urban fringe areas.Authorities say the state is a tinderbox especially after a very dry January.The opposition is putting pressure on the Albanese Government to block Australian citizens returning home if they've subscribed to the ideology of the Islamic State group.A group of Australian woman who've been stuck in a refugee camp in Syria with their children are trying to come home, raising concerns about whether they pose a threat in Australia.They were married to Islamic State fighters who were captured and killed.The Federal Government isn't going to help them return and if they do they'll face close scrutiny from intelligence and law enforcement agencies.The ABC understands the victim of a drive-by shooting in Sydney's west is former NRL winger Matt Utai.Utai played for the Wests Tigers and Canterbury Bulldogs and is now in a serious condition in hospital.Police say an car was found on fire a short time after the shooting on a nearby street in Greenacre, and detectives believe it's linked to the incident.Utai played 167 games and was part of the premiership winning Bulldogs team in 2004.

Macca and Kenny talk to Dr Monique Ryan, Indi MP for Kooyong, Update from Canberra + Australia’s Addiction Gambling Commercials As of late 2025 and early 2026, Dr. Monique Ryan, independent MP for Kooyong, has continued to heavily advocate for a total ban on gambling advertising in Australia, positioning the issue as a critical public health crisis.  Continued Pressure: Dr. Ryan has been consistent in challenging the Albanese Government over its delay in acting on the “Murphy Report” (June 2023), which recommended a comprehensive ban on online gambling ads. “Hard to Understand” Delay: She has highlighted the irony of the government moving to ban social media for children while failing to implement a similar ban on online gambling advertising that targets young people. Resignation from Parliamentary Sports Club: In October 2025, Dr. Ryan resigned from the Parliamentary Sports Club to protest its association with the gambling industry, stating the industry is “predatory and insidious”. Focus on Public Health: She argues that gambling addiction is a public health issue similar to drug addiction, driving domestic violence, family breakdown, and financial ruin. 2026 Legislative Focus: Her recent activities in 2026 have also centered on criticizing the government’s handling of HECS debt (Job-Ready Graduates scheme) and advocating for safer digital spaces. Australia’s Gambling Commercials Crisis The Problem: Australia is noted to have the highest per-capita gambling losses in the world, with roughly $32 billion lost annually. Targeting Children: Dr. Ryan has stated that children are being targeted by betting ads on social media, creating a “generation primed for addiction”. Call for Total Ban: She supports a total ban on gambling advertising across TV, radio, social media, and on sports uniforms. Government Response: Despite overwhelming public support (reported at 85%) for a ban, the government has been accused of acting too slowly due to pressure from media companies and sporting codes that profit from gambling partnerships.  Dr. Ryan continues to urge the government to adopt all 31 recommendations of the Murphy Report to reduce the impact of gambling on Australian families.    The post Sat, 14th, Feb, 2026: Dr Monique Ryan, Indi MP for Kooyong, Update from Canberra + Australia’s Addiction Gambling Commercials appeared first on Saturday Magazine.

The Grumpy Strategists pan for gold in 234 pages of dense, incoherent Government paperwork setting out the Albanese Government's revised plans for our nation's defence, and find some rather smelly nuggets. About $3.2 billion dollars is being brought forward to be spent earlier than planned - with a $1.2 billion chunk on more bills for those still distant AUKUS subs. But the overall Defence budget for this next 4 years is being cut by $2.6 billion. Mr Albanese may have smiled at US President Donald Trump, but he's stood strong against pressure to grow defence spending and got Treasury's razor gang in. Canadian PM Carney might make rousing speeches at Davos opposing the Trump Administration, but Mr Albanese acts. It's a great day for independent middle powers! Oh, and the Defence bureaucracy finds a way to insult King Charles.

Former Prime Minister Tony Abbott has called on the federal government to hold on to some defence sites, including the historic Victoria Barracks.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This business of Australia tightening up its gun laws feels like it runs the risk of distracting from the bigger problems over there. I don't think guns were the problem on Sunday. Australia already has some of the tightest gun laws in the world. This is a race relations problem. This attack was predictable. There was no shortage of warnings. Jewish businesses have been set alight in recent years, synagogues have been attacked, obviously Jewish people have been hassled, Israeli people have been denied customer service in Melbourne, cars have been set alight in an anti-Semitic attack and two nurses in Sydney lost their jobs for bragging on TikTok that they would kill Jewish patients. There is a timeline on Time magazine's website of all the events leading up to Sunday that is confronting. The Albanese Government knew there was a problem brewing. They asked the special envoy on anti-Semitism to give them a set of recommendations. For the last six months they've had those recommendations and done nothing. So, tightening up gun laws is never a bad thing. Checking in on a licence holder every few years rather than never must be a good thing. But if the Aussies think that's the fix for what just happened, they are misguided and allowing themselves to be distracted. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
