While Treasurer Jim Chalmers' budget speech emphasised cost of living relief, this did not extend to people living below the poverty line on social security payments. Significant changes to limit the growth of the National Disability Insurance Scheme were marketed as a considered choice to claw back government revenue, but disability advocates argue that these restrictions will have serious implications for disabled peoples' quality of life and access to supports.

ONE NATION WINS FARRER THE MOST IMPORTANT BY-ELECTION IN AUSTRALIAN HISTORY? COMMANDING THE NARRATIVE EPISODE 135Steven Tripp is joined the political animals, Sam Buono and Richard Storch, to provide a full analysis of One Nation's unprecedented victory in the Farrer by-election. The trio dissect the results and ponder how One Nation's vote increased by over 30% since the Federal election only last year. They also discuss the collapse of the Coalition and whether this signals the end of the Liberal Party. They also analyse where Labor's vote went and whether the Albanese Government has anything to worry about in their working class heartlands, just as we have seen Reform UK do to UK's Labour Party. They also comment on the personalities involved, including Pauline Hanson, Barnaby Joyce, Angus Taylor and Anthony Albanese and whether newly elected David Farley will remain under the One Nation banner.

Yesterday, (March 25th 2026), the Albanese Government introduced legislation known as the Survivors Law, aimed at preventing convicted child sexual abusers from using superannuation to shield assets from unpaid court-ordered compensation. If passed, the reforms would allow victim-survivors to seek access to certain additional super contributions from their offenders, and would ensure those debts can still be pursued even if an offender declares bankruptcy. Today, we are re-issuing episode 265 from July 2022.

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.
