Macca and Nev are joined live on air, calling in directly from Kyneton, Josh Burns, ALP Member for McNamara; Royal Commission into Antisemitism and what is on the agenda in 2026 in Federal Parliament. The post Sat, 10th, Jan, 2026: Josh Burns, ALP Member for McNamara; Royal Commission into Antisemitism & The Year Ahead In Politics appeared first on Saturday Magazine.

Zoe and Macca are joined live on air by, Rex Patrick, “Transparency Warrior” & Former Federal Senator as they discuss the high court fight on political donations Former Senator Rex Patrick was known as the ‘Transparency Warrior' during his time in the Federal Parliament. In addition to the normal tools used by senators to enforce transparency of Government (e.g. questions at question time, written questions on notice, Senate Estimates questioning, Inquiries and Senate orders for the production of documents) Rex also made extensive use of Freedom of Information request in the Federal domain and subsequent reviews by the Information Commissioner and the Administrative Appeals Tribunals (AAT). Rex also made numerous requests under South Australian FOI laws and sought Ombudsman reviews and South Australian Civil and Administrative Tribunal Reviews. Rex believes that transparency is a critical element of a representative democracy. Without transparency citizens cannot properly participate in democracy – and the likelihood of corruption or maladministration occurring increases.
