First up, Hannah unpacks the ABC’s apology to Gina Rinehart over comments made during its new Gen Z-coded show, Race Around the World. What’s really upsetting people here – the fact the public broadcaster said sorry OR who it is saying sorry to? Sarah talks about the OpenAI luxury influencer brand trip (yep you read that right). The theme? Eco-friendly summer camp. Think farm-to-table meals, beekeeping, and cognitive dissonance.

Jeremy Cordeaux is back in the garage with Pete and Gary, and he's found the government some money. From next April, he explains, 3.2 million Australians over 65 will lose the private health insurance rebate that keeps them out of the public system — a saving of $7.9 billion the government says it simply can't do without. Jeremy begs to differ, and reads Health Minister Mark Butler a list: $23.4 billion for electric-car subsidies, $100 million for a failed Bureau of Meteorology website, $65 million for journalists at billion-dollar media companies, half a billion for a Papua New Guinea rugby league team, $4.2 million for a South Pacific resort stopover for COP delegates. Priorities, Minister. He also takes on the mass citizenship ceremonies in Tony Burke's south-western Sydney — and the four flags new Australians were presented with — asking what picture of national identity that paints. Plus new Victorian Premier Ben Carroll's claim that "integrity will not be optional" (and why Jeremy says he talked himself into a corner), the belated royal commission into the CFMEU, Australia Post pushing a letter toward two dollars, and a run of gloriously useless inventions — the pet rock, diet water, the DVD rewinder. And this day in history: the World Wide Web, Hiroshima, Big Ben, and the world's oldest tree, accidentally cut down.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week Nicola and Di chatted with the award-winning journalist, Michael Usher. Michael has spent more than three decades at the centre of some of the biggest stories in Australia and around the world, and in this episode he takes us right into the thick of it. Now the chief network anchor at 7 News and host of Spotlight, Michael has covered war zones, 9/11, the Iraq War, royal weddings, the Queen's funeral, and so much more. We could have listened to his stories for hours! We chat to Michael about how a defining moment as a teenager, watching Australian correspondents reporting from the other side of the world, set him on the path to journalism. He shares the wild, wonderful chaos of cutting his teeth as a young reporter in Kalgoorlie, before landing his big break in Sydney at just 23, and the extraordinary twist of fate that saw him report live from New York on the morning of September 11. We also talk about some of the most memorable moments of his career, including an unforgettable, switch-flicking interview with the Duchess of York, and the circus of covering the Rose Porteous and Gina Rinehart saga early in his career. Michael opens up about the toll that years of travel and war reporting took on his family life, the guilt that comes with missing milestones, and how humour, a good curry, and a glass of red have helped him process some of the hardest things he's witnessed. One of the most moving parts of the conversation is Michael's account of covering the Abdallah and Sakr families' extraordinary story of forgiveness after the death of four children in a car crash, and the powerful impact that story had on families watching at home. We also get his take on covering the Bondi tragedy with care and calm, why he said yes to Dancing with the Stars despite being terrified, and the wisdom he'd offer his 20-year-old self after three decades in the industry. We loved getting to know the man behind the calm, familiar voice we've all grown up watching. We hope you love this episode as much as we did!

We try to make sense of an avalanche of gold medals, record-breaking performances and some remarkable athlete stories coming out of the Comm Games. A week ago we were wondering where the hype is, now it's everywhere. Lachie Kennedy broke the national 100-metre record with a time of 9.85 seconds. Torrie Lewis won Bronze and broke her own record with a time of 10.99. In the pool Australia’s swim team closed out Glasgow 2026 with 76 medals in total, a haul that eclipses the previous record set in 2018 on the Gold Coast. Plus, we unpack the county cricket controversy that has the whole internet talking, with a fielder now dubbed "Clicky Ponting" accused of snapping his fingers to help sell a wicketkeeper catch to the umpire. Plus, the Diamonds' uniform debate, Gina Rinehart's athlete bonuses, Col Pearse's powerful advocacy statement, and the bigger question hanging over the Games: if the Commonwealth Games continue with a reduced program, what does its future look like?

How did a Prime Minister sitting on one of Labor's largest-ever majorities turn his national conference into a masterclass in silence — and what does that say about who's allowed to argue inside the party? Is Albanese's "command and control" PMO disciplined governance or a party too afraid of its own conscience? With One Nation polling above 25 per cent in a Victoria that's just lost its Premier — without an MP, candidate or policy to its name — and Pauline Hanson's blossoming friendship with billionaire Gina Rinehart raising questions about who bankrolls the populist right, can Labor's manufactured unity survive the volatility of 2028? The Saturday Paper's chief political correspondent Karen Barlow joins Mark and Marija to make sense of Labor's conference of conformity, the Pyongyang PMO, and the rise of One Nation.

Usually this is where you'd find The Weekend Briefing - a feature chat with a human behind the headline. This Saturday, we're launching something a little different: the week that was, and what we all made of it. And by "we" we don't just mean us. You're in on this one too. Each Saturday kicks off with a debrief on one story we couldn't stop talking about off air - this week it's the Divine Playhouse, the queer-led arts venue shut down inside a Sydney building that stopped being a church in 1932. Then it's our first ever weekend quiz, which Chris has not shut up about for a fortnight (full questions below). Then we open the inbox - your DMs, your comments, and where you landed on the big one this week: should men be working in early childcare? And of course we cap it off with the weekend list: Revenge – unsure if the TV series or the act (listener Claire) The Boys on Amazon Prime (listener Chris) Theo of Golden by Allen Levi – NYT bestselling novel (listener Suzanne) Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey – in cinemas now, or 6.15am at IMAX if you’re producer Alex. The Weekend Quiz (just questions, no answers): Which controversial influencer faced court this week after being arrested in Miami? After being in Europe and spotted at a luxury resort in Italy with Gina Rinehart, Pauline Hanson was back on home soil. Which state did she head to first? What is the name of the UK's new Prime Minister? An Australian woman made global headlines this week for an extremely rare "one in 15 million" event. What was it?

Melbourne property developers, entrepreneurs and small business owners are promising huge sums to Pauline Hanson’s party before November's state election.

It is advocacy these donors think will be stronger coming from One Nation, rather than the party they once supported – the Coalition.But the identities of these donors are, so far, shrouded in secrecy. Senior reporter Sarah Danckert says one reason is because they’re feeling some shame about their promise to One Nation.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Listener Q&A episode of The Wright Report, Bryan answers your sharpest questions on the Iran Peace Memo, walking through exactly why the text still hasn't been released, what we know for certain about the money Iran is already collecting, and why his own CIA sources align with Director Ratcliffe's assessment that the IRGC simply cannot be trusted on its nuclear promises. Bryan also takes on the toughest pushback of the week, including a listener threatening to cancel over his Iran coverage, fielding it directly and on the record. He breaks down the rare earth mineral crisis and whether the US can rebuild its supply chain before a potential conflict with China, explains why climate change has functionally become a religion for the American Left, and shares his view on a domestic terror plot targeting the White House that he believes previews what the next 9/11 will actually look like. Plus, Bryan closes with a question about whether America can survive another 250 years, delivering a blunt, geopolitical case for why the answer is yes, but only if the country deals with the threat he considers more immediate than Iran.

We break down how Australia's second highest media concentration in the world keeps getting worse, why the National Anti Corruption Commission has found zero corruption in three years despite 7,000 referrals, and how corporate media ran a textbook death tax scare campaign over a testamentary trust policy that affects 5% of the wealthiest Aussies while everyday punters defended billionaires in the comments.
