China flexes its new diplomatic and military might in a grand parade.From the Australian government's perspective, the rapprochement between China and India was the most worrying development.

The sight of neo-Nazis trying to whip up community anger and recruit new followers drove home to all how criticism of Australia's migration program can lead to and even legitimise hate speech, racism, and violence.

For the past two years, the Government has resisted calls to list Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organisation. 

For years, experts have warned of the dangers of the so-called sovereign citizen movement. 

There is bipartisan support for expelling the Iranian ambassador and listing the IRGC as a terrorist organisation, but no end to the political brawl over antisemitic attacks in Australia.

A senior US Senator says Australia's level of defence spending is much closer to 3% of GDP – if shipyards and other defence infrastructure is included.

Donald Trump pivots on Ukraine – after his friendly meeting with Vladimir Putin. He's dropped calls for a ceasefire and is now backing Russia's plan to end the war with a sweeping peace deal.It comes as Australia joins the UK, France and Canada in declaring Australia will recognise a Palestinian state.

"He has a sore head so God only knows what will happen." Trump has instigated a military and federal takeover of the city of Washington DC with a crackdown based on fictional crime figures, and threatened to do the same to other Democrat-led cities. A distraction from Epstein or a sign of things to come, or both? Meanwhile, plans for Trump and Putin to meet next week to divy up territory in Ukraine, without the input of Ukraine itself. Also discussing Gaza, delays on China tariffs, foreign aid, DOGE, and marriage equality back in the Supreme Court.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Acting Prime Minister Richard Marles has indicated he does not see recognition of a Palestinian state as encouraging Hamas.

Meanwhile, Trump launches attacks on the Bureau of Labor Statistics after their numbers show his approach has crippled jobs growth.

The government is trying to strike the right balance between preventing mass redundancies forced by AI, while also preventing Australia falling behind those countries rapidly embracing the technology.

The ACTU has called on the federal government to look at negative gearing and capital gains tax reforms at its upcoming productivity roundtable.

The Prime Minister is back in the country for the resumption of parliament this week. He's in a commanding political position and we're about to see how he'll use it. 

“If not us, then who? And the answer is no one. So you kind of find the other gear that you didn't know you had and you just keep going no matter how hard it gets.”This week, Stephen Donnelly sat down for an exclusive with Lissie Ratcliff, former Chief of Staff to Daniel Andrews, for her first-ever public interview. With 14 years of experience in Labor government and opposition, Lissie shares her candid reflections on political strategy and communication, crisis management, and what it feels like to lose. From the key foundation stones that took Victorian Labor from opposition to government in 2014, to the relentless grind of implementing Victoria's Covid response (complete with 120 daily press conferences in a row), Lissie takes us behind the scenes of the three-peat election winning Andrews government in its most crucial moments.You may never have heard the name Lissie Ratcliff, but after this episode, you won't forget it. Mentioned in the episode:Abundance by Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson https://tr.ee/fgjAt9Support the showNew episodes every Friday.
