But while the move has been welcomed by many, it has also been widely criticised for not doing enough to help students as well as unfairly penalising all taxpayers.

With pressure on the government (again) to raise the rate of JobSeeker, will they finally prioritise the welfare of those on the lowest incomes in the country? Greg Jericho, Guardian columnist and Chief Economist for The Australia Institute previews the upcoming Federal Budget with Amy, which is to be delivered on Tuesday 14th May. Greg tells us what budgets are really all about – choices. British best-selling author Johann Hari joins Amy Mullins to talk about his excellent new book, Magic Pill, which examines the benefits and risks of controversial new weight-loss drugs, like Ozempic and Wegovy. Johann has in fact tried this medication himself and is conflicted about whether they are the miracle solution for obesity that they appear to be. We get into all the nuances of the science and debate around these medications, as well as the real causes of obesity and why people who try to lose weight the old-fashioned way (through diet and exercise) – may initially lose weight but struggle to keep it off. Hint: it actually isn't your fault. This interview is essential listening for all people wanting to understand how our modern society has geared us towards obesity and disrupted our metabolic systems. Victoria Johnson, spokesperson for the Gippsland Forest Guardians, talks about a significant discovery of Slender Tree-ferns (Cyathea cunninghamii) in the Strzelecki ranges, south-east of Melbourne. They are critically endangered in Victoria and the total population is estimated at less than 1,000. Slender Tree-ferns are listed as Critically Endangered under the Flora and Fauna Guarantee (FFG) Act 1988 and have current species-specific prescriptions in the Code of Practice for Timber Production 2014 (as amended in 2022). However, they are currently under threat due to logging operations occurring very close to the endangered ferns at Turtons creek, in some cases only 5 metres away. Victoria tells us about this unique plant species and what we can do to ensure its protection.

Welcome to an audio-led edition of Unmade.Today's edition features the story of the first ten years of The Guardian Australia .Tim Burrowes talks to editor Lenore Taylor and managing director Dan Stinton about how The Guardian found its place within the Australian media establishment after arriving in May 2013.Using a loan from philanthropist Graeme Wood, the publication assembled a team of some of the country's best journalists, many of whom were refugees from Fairfax Media following the mass redundancies of 2012.Taylor says that the tenth anniversary has inspired a deluge of gratitude from readers in her inbox with many arguing that The Guardian has indeed fulfilled a “much needed” niche in Australia's media landscape.Stinton, who will shortly move to the Perth-based tech platform Health Engine after five years running the business side of the operation, explains the Guardian's funding model. The company's ‘diversified' revenue - which has almost tripled in the last three years - is generated through a combination of reader support (which has been a ‘rocketship' for the publication) and other philanthropic funding, digital advertising, and licensing revenue, via the News Media Bargaining Code.Taylor recalls former Fairfax Media boss Greg Hywood's dismissal of the launch, asserting that there would only ever be two Australian news brands that would matter - Fairfax and News Corp.The interview also covers some of the highlights of The Guardian's reporting, including its ‘Life on the Breadline' series which focused on Australians living in poverty, and the Snowden spying revelations. Taylor also points to the discovery of new writing talent including columnists like Van Badham and Greg Jericho.She also addresses the topic of transexual politics, which has divided the newsroom of The Guardian's head office in the UK.According to Ipsos, The Guardian is currently Australia's sixth biggest digital news brand.The podcast was recorded in The Guardian's Sydney studio and edited by Abe's Audio.The interview was recorded before yesterday's apology from The Guardian after staff in the UK office used the phrase “gone walkabout” to describe the launch.letters@unmade.media This is a public episode.
