Politics was changed at the last election in a way the major parties are still grappling with. Now, the record crossbench it delivered looks set to grow even more, with a hung parliament looking ever more likely. In the lead up to the next election, Labor is courting the teals, knowing the relationship could be crucial to forming government and keeping Coalition MPs out of inner-city seats. Today, chief political correspondent for The Saturday Paper, Karen Barlow, on Labor's plan and the fight that could derail it.  Socials: Stay in touch with us on Twitter and Instagram Guest: Chief political correspondent for The Saturday Paper, Karen Barlow

On this week's episode of the Unnatural Selection Podcast we discuss a bunch of stuff: Scott Morrison's power grab was set up by a handful of senior Coalition MPs — but none of them knew what would come next. Why another Morrison inquiry? If it's to humiliate Labor's enemies, it would be political brutalism. Governor-General personally lobbied Scott Morrison about leadership program given $18m in funding. Any war in South China Sea 'threatens 90 per cent of Australia's fuel imports'. Albanese government to announce details of royal commission into Robodebt scheme. US president Joe Biden's student loan forgiveness plan could help more than 40 million. The Unnatural Selection podcast is produced by Jorge Tsipos, Adam Direen and Tom Heath.

Queensland is in the box seat to sensationally steal the NRL grand final after a fresh breakdown in talks between ARL Commission boss Peter V'landys and the NSW government. A call for Scott Morrison's immediate resignation following revelations the former prime minister secretly assumed control of five ministries during the pandemic is dividing stunned senior Coalition MPs.  There is now a 70 percent chance of a third La Nina forming in the coming months, following a "renewed cooling" in the Pacific Ocean, according to the Bureau of Meteorology.  And architectural firms have been urged to lodge an expression of interest to redesign the Gabba Stadium ahead of its Olympic Games overhaul.

New Zealand and Australia are neck-in-neck on the COVID deathalizer, but Australia is surging ahead on Monkeypox cases as it becomes the world's latest pestering pestilence. While the politicians continue with their virtue theatre and persecution of their enemies they are forcing ordinary people closer to famine and war. Join Tim Wilms and Dieuwe de Boer on Trad Tasman Talk. Both Australia and NZ are past the peak of the Omicron BA5 wave with NZ's mask mandates including punishing school children for not wearing masks making no difference to its case and death rate compared to Australia. ATAGI has approved the Moderna vaccine for children 6 months to 5 years who are immunocompromised, disabled or have complex health needs. Teal Independent for Kooyong Dr Monique Ryan berated Coalition MPs to put their masks on in Parliament even though she and her supporters have been maskless indoors countless times. The Monkeypox outbreak was the focus of this week's Australian National Cabinet Meeting. With 58 cases in Australia (3 in NZ) exclusively among men who have sex with men Chief Medical Officer Paul Kelly last week declared Monkepox a Communicable Disease of National Significance. Health Minister Mark Butler announced the Federal Government had secured 450,000 doses of the third-generation monkeypox vaccine Jynneos by Bavarian Nordic to be delivered this year and next for 'at risk' populations. The Victorian Government was busy in court this week prosecuting its political enemies. Neil Erikson's appeal against his 10-week prison sentence for disturbing a gay church service in May 2019 was heard in the County Court. Chief Judge Peter Kidd will deliver his judgment on August 29. National socialist Jimeone Roberts was sentenced to 150 hours of community service after being convicted of public nuisance for posting swastika stickers in Caulfield a Jewish area in Melbourne. Jacinda Ardern's response to inflation is to pump the economy with a cost of living relief payment which has even been sent to dead people. The Labour Party asked its supporters to donate part of their cost of living payment back to the party. Despite rising cash rates some banks in NZ are dropping their interest rates and increasing unemployment is viewed as the best way to crush inflation. The RBA raised interest rates by 50 bases points to 1.85% and the Albanese plans to end the fuel excise discount next month. The first parliamentary sitting fortnight of the new Australian Parliament saw Labor's promised 43% emissions reduction target by 2030 legislation pass the lower house. The Territory Rights legislation which would allow the ACT and the NT to legalize euthanasia also passed the lower house after a conscience vote. Despite only being on the job for less than three months Anthony Albanese is already on long service leave until September. In other Australian political news, Federal Court Justice Michael Lee ruled that both Mark McGowan and Clive Palmer defamed each other in 2020 awarding each $20k and $5k damages respectively while saying they wasted the court's time. The WA taxpayer was forced to fund McGowan's legal fees. NSW Deputy Liberal Leader Stuart Ayers has resigned after he admitted he tipped former Deputy Premier John Barilaro off about the New York Trade Commissioner position he was seeking. Victorian Liberal Opposition Leader Matthew Guy's Chief of Staff Mitch Catlin resigned over revelations he attempted to solicit 100k from a Liberal donor in fees for his private marketing company.

The new Australian Parliament sat this week with MPs resuming their political theatre show and inflated sense of importance. Outside of the political bubble inflation surges again as do rainbows and monkeypox. Join Tim Wilms and Stephen Berry tonight to review the past fortnight live at 6pm Melbourne time and 8pm Auckland time on Trad Tasman Talk. Both Australia and NZ are at the peak of their Omicron BA5 wave. NZ is now reclassifying covid deaths as those dying exclusively from covid which has seen the official death tally drop by a third. ABS data released today stated that of all covid-related deaths in Australia 86% of them covid was the main contributing factor over other comorbidities. Australia's CMO Paul Kelly has declared monkeypox a communicable disease incident of national significance. ATAGI has recommended those currently most at risk, 98% of cases in the western outbreak are men who have sex with men, are given access to the 3rd generation sterilizing smallpox vaccine JYNNEOS. In the new Australian Federal Parliament Labor, the Greens, and the Teals were wearing masks but Coalition MPs were largely unmasked. Pauline Hanson walked out when new Senate President Sue Lines opened proceedings with the indigenous welcome to the country, this was to also protest Lines' plans to fly the indigenous flag permanently in the Senate. The new Father of the House Bob Katter also took aim at Lines' other idea to ditch the Lord's prayer at the beginning of Senate proceedings. NRL Team the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles lost against the Sydney Roosters 10-20 and likely won't make the finals after they did not allow seven Pacific Islander players to take part because they refused to wear rainbow pride jerseys. In Melbourne, the Shrine of Remembrance will be lit up in Rainbow lights on Sunday to recognize LGBTQ defense force members. The Tenants Action Wellington is protesting outside property management company Quinovic's Kent Tce office on Thursday with a list of 10 absurd demands. These include landlords providing evidence they are addressing repairs one week after being notified by tenants, all rents being permanently lowered to 25 percent of the lowest benefit, a minimum tenancy of five years with tenants able to exit earlier, abolishing flat inspections, one year notice before selling or reoccupying the house, a ban on evictions during winter months and emergencies and pets being allowed in all flats.   Austalia's inflation rate was 6.1% in the past year, fruit and vegetables prices rose by 7.3%, inflation grew by 1.8% in the last quarter. Treasurer Jim Chalmers stated inflation is projected to peak in December at 7.75%. The RBA meets next Tuesday with interest rates to rise by between 50 and 75 bases points. The Biden Administration is trying to redefine recession after the second quarter of negative growth for the US. The NZ Government is spending $14 million on ensuring 160,000 New Zealanders eligible for a cost of living payment have their bank account details up to date. In the aftermath of their police state lockdown enforcement Victoria Police has had to apologize to Avi Yemini for false arrest and detainments, they have dropped incitement charges against Monica Smit, Solihin Millin, and Jamal Aabazi. They have paid compensation paid to Age photographer Luis Ascui for pepper spraying him when he was covering an anti-lockdown protest. The NSW Government has forced children to work off lockdown fines which were disproportionately given to children from disadvantaged areas.  The Unshackled Links:Website: https://www.theunshackled.netFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TUnshackledTwitter: https://twitter.com/Un_shackledGab: https://gab.com/theunshackledMinds: https://www.minds.com/The_Unshackled/Telegram: https://t.me/theunshackledMeWe: https://mewe.com/p/theunshackledBitchute: https://www.bitchute.com/channel/theunshackled/Free eBook: http://theunshackledbattlefield.net/ Support Our Work: Membership: http://www.theunshackled.net/membershipDonate: https://www.theunshackled.net/donate/Paypal: https://www.paypal.me/TheUnshackledStore: https://www.theunshackled.net/store/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The coalition continues to be dogged by questions about the Prime Minister's pick for the Sydney seat of Warringah, Katherine Deves. Seemingly, every day another of her offensive social media posts surface. Yesterday it was a deleted comment about surrogacy, which she described as a violation of human rights and 'reproductive prostitution'. Dave Sharma, the Federal member for the blue ribbon seat of Wentworth in Sydney's east is the latest to refuse to comment on her endorsement.

George Christensen sat down with Dave Pellowe to discuss today's announcement he is joining Pauline Hanson's One Nation as a candidate in the 2022 Federal election, and explosively reveals Coalition MPs were lied to about the immunisation register.

The recent screening of Damon Gameau's film, "Regenerating Australia" in Shepparton attracted nearly 50 people and ignited a thoughtful conversation about the value and importance of independent candidates in the coming Federal Election. The independent member for the State seat of Shepparton, Suzanna Sheed (pictured), was on a panel immediately following the screening and so was able to talk with authority about the value and importance of independent politicians.

The passage of the bill in the lower house is uncertain, with some Coalition MPs betraying misgivings about the bill and Labor determined to make amendments.

Coalition MPs are being "encouraged" to inform the Electoral Commission about groups raising so-called 'dark money' ahead of the election campaign. The federal government is facing multiple challenges in key marginal seats from high profile independent candidates campaigning on climate change and integrity.

It's been a dramatic week in Parliament with seven Coalition MPs crossing the floor to vote against the government in protest against vaccination mandates and a lack of a federal corruption commission. Prime Minister Scott Morrison stepped up his rhetoric against a federal corruption commission on Thursday after Tasmanian Liberal MP Bridget Archer backed an independent push to establish a national watchdog. The Prime Minister also introduced the religious discrimination bill to Parliament on Thursday. That bill has highlighted divisions within the Coalition, with several moderate liberals urging the government to protect gay students and teachers. Chief Political correspondent David Crowe joined Rachel Clun in Canberra to discuss what happened in the second last week of Parliament for the year.

Jason Falinski MP, Liberal member for Mackellar & Chair of Standing Committee on Tax and Revenue, who says who says he would welcome a nearly five per cent drop in politician taxpayer-funded superannuation payments after Australia's biggest super fund lobby described 13 Coalition MPs as hypocritical for opposing a rise in the super guarantee. Currently MPs receive 15.4 per cent of their salary in superannuation. The attacks on the Coalition MPs represents a step up in pressure from Industry Super to stop the government from reneging on the legislated increase from 9.5 per cent to 12 percent by 2025 after a week of speculation about the future of the rise.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison and other Coalition MPs described Labor as weak on borders after the opposition and the crossbench voted to pass a bill allowing medical transfers from Manus and Nauru. AAP/Mick TsikasToday, we’re bringing you a special episode of our podcast Trust Me, I’m An Expert for anyone wondering: what the hell happened this week? A sitting government lost a vote on the floor of parliament (which hasn’t happened in decades) over a bill that aims to facilitate medical transfers from Manus and Nauru. (You can hear the MP Kerryn Phelps, who set the ball rolling for that legislation, give her account on Michelle Grattan’s politics podcast over here). Read more: Politics with Michelle Grattan: Kerryn Phelps on medical transfer numbers A day after a bloc of cross-benchers and the opposition won the vote, Prime Minister Scott Morrison signalled the government may re-open the Christmas Island detention facility and the Coalition was accusing Labor of being weak on borders. In other words, a federal election campaign centred on border security has well and truly begun. To help us understand the broader context, we’re hearing today from Dr Daniel Ghezelbash, a refugee law expert from Macquarie University. In our discussion, he busted several myths about how the asylum seeker “medevac” bill would work, and described as “reckless” political rhetoric that the new legislation represents a destruction of Australia’s border security. Read more: Explainer: how will the 'medevac' bill actually affect ill asylum seekers? This week, many Australians cheered the release of refugee footballer Hakeem Al-Araibi, and reports emerged showing airport arrivals of asylum seekers has soared, but much of the political discussion centred on boat arrivals. The focus on boat arrivals in the lead-up to an election should be familiar to any student of Australian political history, he said – but this time it may be different. Join us on Trust Me, I’m An Expert, as Dr Daniel Ghezelbash explains a policy alternative to our current system of offshore processing that he says wouldn’t involve compromising security or shirking our international legal obligations.
