The Queensland University of Technology could face a potential parliamentary inquiry over a controversial 'anti-racism' conference. Former Treasurer The Honorable Josh Frydenberg told Gary Hardgrave on 4BC Drive, "I think our university leaders have really failed us over the last 15 months." "They've turned houses of learning into hotbeds of hate and they've looked for a fence to sit on you know trying to cloak themselves in the notion of academic freedom and it's just wrong." "It's completely wrong and in that sense it has given a green light to the sort of anti-semitism, the hateful behaviour that we've seen on campuses over the last 15 months," Mr Frydenberg continued.

Pressure is mounting on Anthony Albanese to label the arson attack on the Adass Israel synagogue that happened in Melbourne last week a terrorist attack. The Prime Minister has personally called the attack an act of terrorism, but has stopped short of officially declaring it as a National act of terrorism. Josh Frydenberg told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, 'it's just another example of a pattern of behaviour that has actually seen the extremists in our mix be emboldened.' 'Those who hate, those who harm have felt that they have license to carry out their violent and un-Australian activities and that's why I wrote an open letter to the Prime Minister to say enough is enough,' Frydenberg said. 'Anti-Semitism is out of control and the responsibility rests at his door.'See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“Australia's silence is being heard” says Australia's former Treasurer, Josh Frydenberg. A man with a deep-rooted connection to his Jewish heritage and strong support for Israel. Raised in a Jewish family, Frydenberg has been vocal about his commitment to Jewish causes and has championed close Australia-Israel relations throughout his career. Known for his leadership as Australia's Treasurer, Frydenberg has consistently advocated for policies that foster mutual support and collaboration between Israel and Australia, underscoring his dedication to both his heritage and his vision of a secure, united global community.In this conversation, Eylon and Josh tackle the role of Israel and the diaspora in fighting for Israel's right to sovereignty and self-defense and the need for allies the world over to understand that they play a pivotal role in defending democratic, liberal principles when they stand up for Israel.Co-Creator and Host - Eylon LevyCo-Creator and Creative Director - Guy RossExecutive Producer - Asher Westropp-EvansEditor/Assistant Director - Benny GoldmanStay up to date at:https://www.stateofanationpodcast.com/X: https://twitter.com/stateofapodInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/stateofapod/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?...

In this episode of New Politics, we explore the reasons behind the significant stir within the conservative mainstream media sparked by rumours of former Liberal Party MP Josh Frydenberg's potential return to federal politics. Once a key figure as the Treasurer and the representative for Kooyong, Frydenberg's speculated comeback ignited considerable enthusiasm at News Corporation, almost as though Robert Menzies himself was making the return. However, Josh Frydenberg is no Robert Menzies: his actual influence and the community's reception starkly contrast with the portrayals on Sky News, which, fortunately, do not represent the views of the electorate.We examine Frydenberg's decision not to re-enter the political fray despite persistent media encouragement, particularly from outlets such as the ABC and Sky News. There are reasons why Frydenberg lost his seat to independent Monique Ryan in the 2022 election: he is not as effective as the media would have us believe.This episode also highlights broader challenges facing the Liberal Party, marked by internal conflicts and leadership challenges in preparation for the post-Peter Dutton era. The upheavals within the Victoria branch of the Liberal Party, infiltrated by religious zealots, highlights its struggle to re-establish itself, especially in upcoming contests such as the one in Kooyong against Monique Ryan, who appears well-established in the seat.Also, we cast a spotlight on the significant, yet often overshadowed, role of speechwriters in political communication and debate the controversy around the hefty remuneration—$300,000!—for the speechwriter of Minister Bill Shorten. We debate the value of such investments in the context of political efficacy and public perception.We critique the Labor government's approach to environmental policy, particularly the newly introduced Nature Positive Bill, questioning its effectiveness and alignment with prior promises and the expectations of progressive constituents. “Nature positive”—is this just spin and political marketing, or is there something substantial behind it?And is it enough for the Labor government to be slightly better than the Coalition, which was in office from 2013 to 2022 and was arguably one of the worst governments in Australian history? No, it is not: they need to perform much better and be held accountable when they fail to deliver on the key issues they promised from the opposition.

When rumours began swirling over the weekend that former federal treasurer Josh Frydenberg might be poised to return to politics, fiery commentary broke out on both sides of the political spectrum. Did Frydenberg - or those loyal to him - want to muscle out of contention a young, Oxford-educated woman who had already won pre-selection to contest the Victorian seat of Kooyong, in the next election? As one woman put it, “Women are not collateral damage for Josh Frydenberg's regrets”.   Today, columnist Jacqueline Maley on Frydenberg's spot in the sunshine after a two year-retreat from public life. And whether this latest political powerplay has benefited, or harmed, the former treasurer and the Liberal party.Subscribe to The Age & SMH: https://subscribe.smh.com.au/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Six months after Scott Morrison was ousted, he remains a centre of attention, with parliament set to censure him on Wednesday over his multi-ministry power grab. In exquisite timing, journalist Niki Savva's book Bulldozed is released this week. It documents Morrison's style, which eventually shocked even those closest to him in government. “He's a very secretive character. He's distrustful. He's a control freak. He's a bully. He's stubborn. He doesn't listen to anyone,” Savva says. “And he was, as Alex Hawke [former minister and a Morrison numbers man] has said on the record, addicted to executive authority. He liked to be in absolute control, taking every decision but not taking responsibility for every decision.” Savva says Hawke believed Morrison was frightened of a leadership challenge. “Alex Hawke […] believed Morrison was panic stricken by the thought that both left and right were out to get him. And although he was worried about Frydenberg, he was more worried about Dutton. He thought that there would be a move initiated by Frydenberg and then Dutton would come through the middle.”

Hard Hats and Hi Viz reviews the state of play as we begin, the polling, the electoral pendulum, the betting markets. We have some internal polling from the climate independents challenging in blue ribbon Liberal seats showing Frydenberg in trouble in Kooyong and in a bolt out of the blue, Mackellar, there may be a boilover in the bluest of the blue Liberal seats. 

Josh Frydenberg gave a train wreck interview with David Speers on Insiders. From refusing to fund aged care wages to it being exposed that he had planned to reduce the price of medicines but had it cut from the budget and continually saying he and Morrison were offering "temporary cost of living relief", when what we need is a permanent improvement in living standards, Josh came across as a man who doesn't believe his own spin. Australian Unions have put in a minimum wage case claim to lift minimum wages by 5%, business lobby groups want a cut, yet the Morrison government won't even commit to funding a regulated increase in aged care wages. Go to australianunions.org.au/wow to join and support wage increases.

The tax offset for low and middle income earners (LMITO) will not be extended beyond this financial year, so does this amount to a tax increase for these people? Treasurer Josh Frydenberg tells the podcast the offset was a “temporary measure” that was extended as fiscal stimulus, due to the pressures on the budget from COVID. It's being removed “now that the economy is normalising”. With unemployment set to fall below 4%, Frydenberg also says “what we think is going to happen is upward pressure on wages”. Annual wage growth is at 2.3% but Frydenberg says there's a “broader indicator of earnings across the economy [Average Earnings in the National Accounts (AENA)] which has been higher than where the wage price index is. It's expected to get to 5% this year, which is above where inflation is at. That's a broader earnings indicator, which takes into account bonuses, promotions, people moving jobs and the like.”   The treasurer, who holds the Victorian seat of Kooyong, is one of the Liberal members being targeted by “teal” independent candidates running on issues such as climate and the need for a federal integrity commission. Frydenberg – who is more popular than Scott Morrison in the “leafy” seats – will be used to campaign where these candidates are strong. “I will give as much support as I can to my colleagues who face those opponents.”

Tax cuts, a big fuel excise cut and cash payments are leading the headlines when it comes to the Australian budget.  Frydenberg announced the tax offsets amount to billions of dollars, potentially saved by the $7.7 billion less in jobseeker payments because of the low unemployment rate. It still leaves a budget hole of $78 billion for this current financial year, which they hope contracts to $43 billion in three years time.  ABC News Breakfast host Michael Rowland joined Mike Hosking. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Pressure's on the Treasurer Josh Frydenberg tonight as he delivers a pre-election budget loaded with measures such as fuel excise cuts and one-off payments to pensioners to ease the cost of living.

The Treasurer promises the Government will use Tuesday's Budget to try and alleviate cost of living pressures, including on the price of petrol - but won't yet say how.

Federal Treasurer Josh Frydenberg says he understands the pain Australians are facing at the petrol bowser, and Tuesday's budget will provide relief. - Συνέντευξη στο SBS News παραχώρησε ο υπουργός Εθνικής Οικονομίας, Τζος Φράιντενμπεργκ, ενόψει της κατάθεσης του προϋπολογισμού, την ερχόμενη Τρίτη. Ο κ. Φράιντενμπεργκ υποσχέθηκε πως η κυβέρνηση θα προσπαθήσει να ανακουφίσει τις πιέσεις που δέχονται τα νοικοκυριά, μετά την αύξηση στις τιμές των καυσίμων, χωρίς ωστόσο να προχωρήσει σε λεπτομέρειες.

Scott Morrison says he and Josh Frydenberg have “done their homework”, and will present a budget that will ease cost-of-living burdens on Australian families.With an election due to be called at any moment following Tuesday's budget, the government is under pressure to throw everything they can to ensure all Australians benefit from the suite of packages.Both the Prime Minister and the Treasurer spent Sunday morning emphasising their understanding about the biggest issues being faced by Australians at the moment – ballooning petrol prices, rising inflation rates, and the mounting cost of living.Mr Morrison said his government had “done the homework” and would present a budget that would help Australians.“Because of what we're seeing in Ukraine and the impacts on fuel prices, we know this is biting and we've done the homework and spent the time to get the right design on the packages to support Australians right now,” he said from Perth.“We have got a cost of living package which works right across the Australian community, and the Treasurer will be outlining that on Tuesday night.”Mr Frydenberg has remained tight lipped on just how the government will ease cost of living pressures, but has said it will be “temporary and targeted”.“It will be focused on helping Australian families,” Mr Frydenberg said on Sunday.“Petrol prices have been rising off the back of international events, and we recognise the need to provide cost of living relief to Australian families.”It's understood the government will unveil a temporary reduction of the petrol excise, which currently sits at 44.2 cents per litre.The government has ruled out freezing the indexation.Mr Frydenberg said additional cost-of-living measures will need to be balanced against the risk of rising interest rates and inflation.“It's all about getting the balancing act right,” Mr Frydenberg said.Cash handouts and the extension of the Low and Middle Income Tax Offset are on the table, as are one-off cash payments to pensioners and other welfare recipients.Shadow Treasurer Jim Chalmers told ABC Insiders that the budget needed to deliver on getting Australian families through “difficult times”, and not just be a path to winning the May election.“It should be a budget that secures a better future for Australians … We don't want this budget to be the political equivalent of spakfilla,” Mr Chalmers said.Mr Chalmers said ahead of Labor's budget reply on Thursday, he would be looking closely at whether there is “genuine cost of living relief” unveiled by Mr Frydenberg.“If it's responsible, we try and be constructive about it. But no amount of money sprayed around on the eve of an election will make Australians forget a decade of attacks on wages and job security,” he said.“ … We need to recognise that cost of living pressures are right across the board.”Mr Chalmers has said he would deliver a budget of his own later this year if Labor wins at the polls.Labor is expected to announce at least one major policy when they deliver their reply on Thursday, but will save the remainder of their announcements for the election campaign.“Our guiding light will be the quality of our spending,” Mr Charmers said.“We're looking for maximum community benefit and economic benefit (as opposed to) the government looking for maximum political benefit.”New program targets older Aussies with a disabilitySmall businesses who employ senior Australians with a disability will be eligible for $10,000 under a new program to be unveiled in Tuesday's budget.The latest iteration of the ReStart program will cost the government an estimated $44m to help get Australians over the age of 50 living with a disability get into work.Mr Frydenberg says it's one of a “series of initiatives” to be unveiled in the Morrison government's pre-election budget this Tuesday...See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The first in a two-part series, this episode frames the new and concerning waste recycling problem in Australia. The situation has grown critical since China's “National Sword” decision earlier this year, not to take our recycling. Changing the ground rules on what they will — and won't — accept has closed the door, leaving our councils effectively buried under a pile of waste. We talk to Councillors and Council staff to find out the very real stress the decision has placed them under to make changes and what consequences this will have for residents and ratepayers. We also talk to climate activist Dug Holmes for his take on the crisis and — as an added bonus — Mark shares with us what inspired him to start Climactic. In our second episode we'll be looking at the bright side: the opportunities the recycling crisis presents. Enjoy the show!
