It's been called a forever war: the fight over how to teach children to read. For decades, an outdated method has lingered in Australian classrooms as states protect schools' right to teach how they wish. Following a recent report from the Grattan Institute that found a third of Australian children couldn't read well, state governments are finally picking a side and mandating the best way to teach reading. Today, associate editor of The Saturday Paper Martin McKenzie-Murray on why “vibes-based learning” stuck around for so long and how children should actually be taught literacy.

Barely a week goes by when the great energy transition isn't making news of some sort. This week the government announced feasibility licences for a bunch of developers to work on plans for Australia's first offshore wind zone in waters off Gippsland in Victoria.At the same time, Energy Minister Chris Bowen was talking up the need to seek new supplies of gas to support renewables. The government's been making all sorts of announcements under its new Future Made in Australia policy – to subsidise the local manufacturing of solar panels and other green technology. While the Coalition continues to talk up its plans for nuclear energy – even if it's unclear when those actual plans will be unveiled or whether the opposition will make any sort of commitment to a new emissions target. And this week we also saw a concerning report from the Grattan Institute – warning the great energy transition is “not going well”. So – are we on the right track? And how bumpy is it likely to get?David Speers interviews Kerry Schott, chair of the Carbon Market Institute and AGL board member, among many things, in the latest episode of Insiders: On Background.

After four years, 32 public hearings, 8,000 submissions, and almost 10,000 people sharing their experience, the Disability Royal Commission has handed its final report to the federal government. Throughout the investigation, the commission heard horror stories of abuse, neglect, coercion, unscrupulous NDIS providers, and severe underpayment of workers with disability. With more than 200 recommendations, the government has an enormous task ahead of it to improve the lives of Australians with disability. This podcast pinpoints some of the most important recommendations, and identifies where the government should start. The report release coincides with the launch of Grattan Institute's Disability Program, supported by the Summer Foundation.
